@Dundee Great looking wee swim tail softbaits. Are you sure the 'tear drop' is 1/4 oz looks like a 1/16th ??
I use some little fine clips made by 'Dragon' instead of swivel clips. They are very good and avoid the clanging that swivel clips can make when the soft is pulsed - sink, lift, sink, lift
I'm glad to see you fishing again, but isn't this the time of year to be stacking Hares in the freezer for Bo ?
1/4oz Moa Hunter,Bo is on day three of hare meals tomorrow, then back to Tux for a bit.Fishing has been tuff lately in the upper section of the mid Manawatu the spawning runs haven't quite got this far up yet.And only a few tribs above where I fish. Might have to try Oringi again next weekend where more tribs flow into the river.
I was wrong @Moa Hunter the tear drop rig is 1/8oz
18/8 Oringi Manawatu river

Some years ago, my mother was sequestered in Whangarei Hospital. Not being able to keep a bedside vigil for too long and being a keen fly-fisherman, I ventured out and fished any stream I could find that Mrs Google had identified. I did catch a very small trout in a stream off just north of Kamo on the by-pass.Quote:

First stream up and dirty, second up but clearing.
Caught my first streamside vegetation for the season...a bit rusty.
