    Wind was tough today but our water is a shit load clearer @bomber . Early in the morning got to the net a good fish at 1.8kg.
    Dropped so many fish after that I'm wondering how. Some lost on the strike (probably with too much slack line in the wind), some lost a few seconds into it and the last fish lost at the net. Just one of those days I guess.
    Was very neat to watch a lot of fish feeding well on what I'm expecting to be willow grubs. I have no imitations so was left out in the cold on a number of beats. Tried to video it as the fish were very active sipping and slashing in the surface layer but the zoom just wasn't there.

    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

    Oooh, are they Danish land trout? Released to their favourite element of boggy cow paddock and rocky terrarium.

    Yep. Green beetle coming on well. Willow grubs too but they are tiny and very difficult to imitate. Well for me anyway.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
