    Note to self. @7mmsaum is no good for a wind report
    Blowing down the river like a 1000 bastards but a bit of sneaky back water stalking came up with the goods.
    2.5kg hen in great condition


    1.5 kg Jack. Not so good condition.
    Kept both as the girl insisted we can then have enough fish to invite the neighbours around for a BBQ
    Good going for only a couple hours fishing.
    This season I'm trialling going back to plane Jane Maxima green 5lb tippet over the expensive fluorocarbon line. Working out fine this far with both fish ambushed in still water.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Well done, still gale force on Kaweka main range at 1 in the afternoon

    I'm using the Maxima ultragreen in 2,4 and 6 pounds and really like it, have used it since 1990 when Stren abrasion resistance dropped to zero

    Yes Tutaikuri, not far from my home which is even better.
    Condition is good. Dropped an absolute rocket of a fish too. Forgot to check the line after catching the last one. Knot came undone novice mistake.
