Woohoo go Dundee.
Battled the wind tonight started with a black and silver rapala as was the last lure to land a trout.
Finished off using a no.3 green firefox lure to get that extra reach in the wind and landed another beaut rainbow:)

Dundee what percentage do you reckon you keep?
Rushy I have landed 11 this month and only kept 4.:cool:
The fish skelletons get fed to the eels:D
Attachment 19364 caught this one last week first for the year
Nice conditioned rainbow and welcome to the forum Wonder trapper:thumbsup:
cheers :) it was a fair way to walk in but was definitely worth it and was released for another day :cool:
@kiwijames you made the right call to bypass here tonight with your fly gear.
I fished in these gales for 2 and a half hours tonight and this was the calmest pool I found.
Attachment 19378
That pool is where I caught my heaviest trout but the landing zone is like bloody quick sand.:ninj:
The wind got worse around every bend of the river.
Attachment 19382
Conditions were tough with the spinning rod and probably useless with the fly rods.:(
Had 5 chases but landed nothing tonight.
The 6.3 earthquake damaged a bit down there but lucky no one was fishing over that side at the time:ORLY:
Attachment 19385
Well if there is someone under there I haven't looked yet:ORLY:
Lots off sand has fallen into the river from the "Sheep & Beef" side that isn't fenced off:pissed off:
Tight lines.............:thumbsup:
Yep, @Dundee it didn't get any better on the way home either.
Went fishing again surprise surprise,yes it is an addiction.:D
Same water as last night but had Mrs Dundee in charge of photo duties:thumbsup:

Attachment 19537
worth a try anyway nice fish dundee
Attachment 19572Attachment 19573went for a fish today with my friend and forgot my rod :pissed off:
So you tickled them?
I'm not going to admit to doing that.:ORLY:
Don't feel too bad about that WT
I went surf casting a couple of weeks ago.
After trekking 4 kms down the beach and setting up I discovered I had left the bait in the freezer. :(
and then my mate turned up to a rifle shooting comp the next weekend with the wrong bolt for his rifle. :)
Only chance we'd have to beat him too.
Cheers
