Then after the gutting she was off to find the boys.:D
Few texts and one voicemail an hour later from Mrs D she had found them so was off home to fire up the BBQ.
I mucked around at the river just viewing all the trout and got home to duck patties,sizzlers and hash browns.
As being a good bastard didn't want to ruin her glory:ORLY:
You are a true gentleman like at Dundee. Well done Mrs D. Those Koura are bloody nice eating Dundee.
thats a nice fish there Mrs dundee :thumbsup:

PT got some kouraAttachment 20077Attachment 20078
Mmmmmm kiwi prawns :thumbsup:
OK Dundee, here is what you tell PT to do. Cut down a big bushy piece of Manuka (as big as he can handle by himself). Cut up one of his plucked possums into thumb sized pieces and tie the pieces into the Manuka deep inside the bushy bits. Submerge the Manuka into your river at an easily accessible deep slow part one evening. The next day he should take the Manuka out of the river and put it onto a bank so that he can harvest all of the Koura and put them into a big bucket (he will need a big bucket as there will be shitloads of them).
Let me know how he gets on.
yep told him that thanks Rushy. Forgot to mention we had some unexpected guests float past.

Camera was set on tripod and self timer and it was a bit breezy down there tonight. Not a clear pic but still a solid trout.
Very environmentally friendly and sustainable fishing thing for you to do Dundee. Well done.
Right here's a Video of our Waitangi Day Trout Fish on the Mohaka.

My wife is a beginner and is using a float bubble with a Hare & Copper Nymph
I was using a Black Mepps spinner.
We had a few strikes throughout the day by mostly smaller fish but nothing was landed.
Still it was a good day out .

What a great place to spend time with the Minister of Social Planning Pete.
Your not wrong Rushy.
Took the rifle ..... didn't see any but we got bloody close ...... Heard the crash and found the foot prints complete with a steaming pile of you know what.
Had a dip in the Hot pools and a picnic lunch too.
Was an awesome day out. :)
Got today off too :thumbsup:
Cheers
