Yeah only 1 about 3lbs. The lake is fishing hard, possibly the Moon phase. Tasted very nice lightly fried in flour and with a salad.
Great day on the Hine yesterday, I had ten to the net and that again in dropped fish. Fishing mate racked up similar numbers with the best going just shy of 5pd, most around the 2.5-3pd mark. Got his ass handed to him on a couple of occasions by some decent fish. Only a few silver fish in there though but they are around, took a couple home for the pot. All caught on either a sz12 Simons Ugly Hare & Copper or any glo bug variant. If you're in the area the Tauranga Taupo should be fishable and firing today / tomorrow.

That's a bugger GA. Smoked roe then?
I have never done it, was always thinking of doing it, anyone else done trout roe? Would imagine it being very rich.

Back in the 70's an old Maori fella that regularly fished the lower reaches of the Waitahanui river gave me a tip on "local knowledge".
He was catching fish, I wasn't. :(
He said here young fella try one of these, handing me his fly wallet.
I said, Which one is good for here?
He said, Doesn't matter they all work.
I opened his fly wallet to find several streamer fly's inside, mostly different coloured rabbits, all were quite sticky.
Sandwiched in between these fly's was a good sized piece of dried Roe.
I picked a fly, tied it on, and was hauling in fish before I knew it. :thumbsup:
Seems the "Local Knowledge" worked for me too.
