Five rods and I was the only one that landed one.Mrs D hooked one and it snapped the nylon and took off with a fancy piercing on the lip.

I am finally on the board for the 2015-2016 season. A good friend took me out to a new found SPOT X on the Oreti River just outside Invercargill.
These weighed in at 3lb 11oz and 3lb 13oz (gutted) on the kitchen scales.
Yes, Catch and Eat is the name of the game down here.

With the length on that spool I can cast from Dannevike to Pahiatua:D
Went back down at 1600hrs for a bit longer. Sighted a beauty from the top of a bank and a few carefully aimed casts had this rainbow fighting. I had to take the fighting trout 50 metres downstream before I could land it as the bank was to steep.Trout came to the waters edge just as the lure came free. Some fast work and job done.:cool:
Attachment 44258
Trout gutted and packed away and I carried on fishing when I saw an eel 20 metres down stream heading to the gutz so I followed it up and took a few pics.
Attachment 44259Attachment 44260Attachment 44261Attachment 44262
Landed another further downstream and released it.
Attachment 44263
Started to head back to the bike as it was just beginning to rain,we need it here. Great place to leave the wet weather gear when you are 2km away from bike.:)
Attachment 44264
Yum some more fish for the freezer.
Hot down there this arvo no luck on the lures so tried possum trappers home made articulated streamer.
Attachment 44288
Once wet it takes a different shape and bang got one. Bloody good fight took a while to land the fat rainbow.
Attachment 44289
It was well and truly hooked.
Attachment 44290
Dundee if it is hot down there then why the hell have you got a jacket on? Or is that one of the archived photos that @BRADS keeps telling us about?
18 mils has fallen Rushy we needed it,it might be a bit coloured down there tonight.
Leave some fish for me and Sean lol
You tell him Mrs D :thumbsup:Quote:

Bloody wet down there tonight....still clean here in the upper Manawatu and down stream it was dirty all the run off from the Ruahine Ranges flowing in down stream.Attachment 44298
Landed one small bow and a big brown won the fight in Jacobs pool,reel was screaming and trout was heading for the lower rapids as i was trying to tighten the drag but the bugger won.:)
Trout fillets are well stocked at the moment :)

After 48 mils on the weekend the river was like this yesterday.

Jacobs pool and Toby tree on last light.
Attachment 44340Attachment 44341

Attachment 44342
I think that tree may be lucky DD :thumbsup:
Holey crap who is looking down on us?
Attachment 44365
Then I get this text as I had run out of ammo before I even went fishing:wtfsmilie:
Attachment 44366
If Toby was here Mrs D he would of gutted it with a rock.
Nice trout in the famous Jacob pool with that iconic tree ;)
Attachment 44367Attachment 44368
Way to go Mrs D. Dundee will be jealous of your success, he has never caught such a good looking trout.

No trout tonight as some fulla put this sign up at the river access:yaeh am not durnk:
Attachment 44425
No waikatos were hurt:)
Well done Dundee. That message is clear, concise and to the point and when two monosyllabic words convey such a depth of meaning it serves to prove that language does not need to be complicated. Hats off to you, now why no Waikato?Quote:
