It's a tiddler Dundee. But well done anyway.
Bought a 15/16 licence on Saturday, landed first four fish of season (saw a few more) on Sunday, released two small ones.
Spinners going back in the shed, bringing out the new (first) fly rod once I get it strung up! Frustrating/challenging times ahead... haven't got a clue what I'm doing when it comes to fly fishing.

Trespass the fly fishermen Dundee. Tell them you have customary rights to that stretch of the river.
Fish & Game has released 1000 juvenile trout into Lake Tarawera as part of its ongoing liberation strategy, in an attempt to address the lakes declining fish numbers...
I wish they would do the same down here.Quote:

Cheers Andy much appreciated.:)
Picked up a mate from the airport who's here for 2 months fishing.
Went straight to the Canterbury high country for 4 days fishing.
Poor bugger lost a big 4kg ish brown on day 2. Little black nymph did the trick but the hook broke at the bend.
Day 3 he broke his very expensive german #7 weight rod on a small brown. Very bad luck ! So now only has light #5 weight Sage rod as back up.
Day four he caught this 4kg plus fish on a dry fly with the #5 rod. Pretty awesome to watch and land it for him. Now the previous dissipointments are all forgotten.
Attachment 42517
Then he catches this 3.5kg one 3 hours later on the same dry fly in another pool 5km up river.
Attachment 42518
That was the icing on the cake and ended his best day fishing ever ( and he's fished all over the world).
We landed 30 fish between us in the 4 days.
Landed 5 this arvo all little and on this lure.
Attachment 42519
All went back
Attachment 42520

A bit of drama on the river Dundee.
Had a Taranaki farmer with me today that has never been trout fishing. I lent him a rod and let him choose the lures but he got none and I landed four.:)
Attachment 43118
That's probably 'cos he wasn't playing by your 'Vagas rules, and was trying to catch fish whilst sober. :)Quote:
