Ha ha just pulling ya tit. The Sheep rustling laws were left unchanged for ages. Pretty sure they forgot to change them?
Enough of the rustlers but some farmers can't look after there own stock but I finally got hold of em tonight:(

Poor buggers have been stuck too long,got it sorted now:)
Fished for an hour or so an about the last rapid I thought to myself one last cast before I change the lure
And hit, landed and released:D
Attachment 8922
Only about a lb and a half so I carried on with the same lure.
Last bit of water before I had to climb the bank and get out of there as no more river was accessable from here.
And another hit and a bloody good fight from this brown trout:D

Do you use your rapalas much?
Four day weekend in Kinloch coming up, hope the weather improves (a lot) and the lake has some fish, if not I'll sleep!
Dundee technically you could keep the promise by getting someone else to tie the fly on the line. Just trying to be helpful.
Hes gone might have to borrow one aye Macca? I will tell him you gave me permission:D
Got another two but they took the lure not the flie,got a couple of guests coming out so will head back down with them.
My guests dropped in a box of piss:yuush: Took them fishing and they had no bloody rods.So I had to take Maccas flie off and gave them my rod and Sean Dundees rod.
The youngest guest hooked a rainbow and a fiesty fighter it was but it spat the hook:P
The elder fellow had a hook up too not much bigger than a bloody goldfish but at least they hooked something:D
I was bored with no rod but at least they had fun. Crumbed trout for dinner and my guests took a tray of fillets home.
The farmer that had the stranded sheep rang me and thanked me tonight:)
You have a reason to buy more rods now
Had a few goes with two of Maccas flies/nymphs
Attachment 9050
That one was attached after a lure and no luck on it but a small one took the lure
Attachment 9051
I think this is a nymph
Attachment 9052
Attached a black zebra toby behind it
Attachment 9053
And another small one took the lure
Attachment 9054
Possom trapper is off again in the morning so I might try another one Macca and if I have no luck will leave it to him and his fly rod when he gets back;) They look the buisness but no luck these last two days.
You have had luck Dundee. Just not good luck.
Lost a good rainbow.Had attached Maccas thingy and a toby big strike then nothing the rod bent and stopped thought i had one then nothing happened ,rod still bent couldn't free my line so gave it a good haul and snap the line broke lost both my lure and maccas nymph and a big bright rainbow lept out of the water.Dunno if it took the lure or the nymph.
Has anyone ever caught a fish with a lure or flie already in the gob of a fish?
Good to see they're getting a work out. One metre waves on Taupo, windy as, so mowed lawns, installed my gas hot water, went for a latte and slept. Boats ready to go so see tomorrow.
Yah right Rushy that bastard must of snagged me hooks and bustered off when I gave it a good haul.
Caught about a doz little buggers this last week all released.
Last weekend at the river fishing for trout as ducks will be my bag next weekend I hope:ORLY:

Any luck at Taupo Macca?
We were marlin fishing once dundee and a fish took one of the lures.
Played it for a bit and got a solid little Mako in. As we were gona let it go we didn't gaff it or anything we were just going to clip the trace by the mouth. Grabbed the trace and the hook pulled free, we all went "aye" and we had a jap longline hook on our hook????? Fucken trippy as, was as if the bugger was flossing!!
Caught a beautiful maiden hen around 5lb on Saturday arvo jigging in a bout 10minutes sweet. Had it for tea tonite as raw fish marinated in lemon juice and coconut cream, was superb eating
It's a superb recipe , but the fish must be orange in colour.
Lake Rotoiti the place for deep pink fish all feeding on koura. Best I caught in my life
Two more evenings to go, at the river then I will leave the trout alone.:ORLY:
Give them a chance to regroup and grow a little!
Koura are nice in there too. Dont think its allowed though is it???
