All ended up covered in Watties no doubt :-)
Great pics !!

Fishing upstream from my normal location and landed this beauty brown trout.

Released another two rainbows.

Hooked another brown with the "Ontario River Bead" attached to the tasmanian devil.

Nice fish Dundee. Do you think those beads make a difference?

I've tried them without the beads and no luck,so yes definately help.

Who'd have thought it?

Tonight I trialed a "rebel crawfish" lure from the USA and landed a small brown.

Jesus wept, tidy ya tackle box man

23 rainbows and three browns for January.First rainbow for Feb.

After struggling to catch a cold I went for a quick evening fish on the Tukituki. Not my regular and has been a bit of a jinx river for me. Strong wind has the 6wt Radian on the roof racks.
First cast and boom. Straight into a solid rainbow that jumped like it was in a rodeo. Woohoo. Caught me by surprise and I dropped the damn rod. One lucky save later and I had him in the net.

Over the next hour in between howling wind gusts I managed to pick up another 4 and dropped another.



Most were little fatties around 3-4lb.
Looks like the Tuki finally likes me.

The problem KJ is that you are trying to prove to yourself that the Radian was worth buying - we both know you should be leaving it at home and taking the ' One'

LOL I took them both. I love the One but it STILL has yet to catch me a fish. I was tempted to grab it as the fishing was good. The fact I could keep 20’ of flyline in the air without casting kept it in the truck.
