There was a feature in our local paper (herald tribune) only days ago, where a well loved labrador swam in a backwater here before convulsing and becoming paralysed before getting euthanised at the vet. :( I hate seeing animals suffer.
We had that here,the dog killing thing a couple months back but i think the last lot of rain and floods cleared it. Now we are on a boil water notice wtf

That is terrible. Someone smarter than me needs to figure out how to get the Fiordland rain to those parts of the country that need itQuote:

Last nights fish ,450mm but quite skinny .Not sure what was the problem ,the ecosystem in the area seemed to be in good condition. The local mining company has done extensive planting along the river.Perhaps it was just a growth phase .

That guy with the dogs is mad cause you can see the weed. Bloody hot conditions grow that cynabacteria have you got the stuff in your river Kiwijames? Was that vid on ya phone narrow screen but great fighter there.
I saw heaps of trout last night and my parents smoked the last one and said it was good.
Bloody hard to fight fish and video. ;) yep with phone. Thinking of buying a GoPro for fun. That run was in the main run of the river so not much other than puha type stuff on the edges.
Ha there ya go Rushy bloody hard to shoot a magpie at 200 metres and hold camera too:PQuote:

Good work guys.
I love the Corco-rout
Good on PT, you show the old man how its done .
Had to go out to Waitawheta this evening so grabbed the chance of a fish while there. River is clean again with no sign of last seasons rock snot.Stopped at the gate on my way out & fished a couple of pools until nearly dark.1st fish hooked up about 4th cast,knew was a net job the way if fort ,took a while but got the net under him. #1 in bag .Few more casts same pool ,nothing moved down to the tail of the pool few more casts.5th or 6th cast a green rocket followed my lure in ,but couple of meters behind it. Just stopped a few meters out from the bank ,next cast lure was intercepted coming in .Another good fight & after a few minutes I slipped net under #2 .Not as big as 1st fish but still a nice smoking size rainbow .
