Sorry Rushy bomber is just another fisho that pulls tits. Gave our lad his first job. Drinks superior beer. Milks cows and is downstream on the Manawatu River.
All good. For a moment I thought you had developed a split personality.Quote:

Eventually managed to sort my stuff out and picked up a couple for my trouble.
The best came home for a dinner date.

How do you sex a trout (or salmon for that matter) without getting out the knife?

Jacks don't and tend to bite back.

Look at the trout jaw structure VC. They are quite different between male and female.Quote:

Well he could be my twin brother from another mother and fatherQuote:

Did you guys have a look there the other day?
Busy down by the Manawatu gorge.Mrs D had one hook up but nothing landed.
Attachment 45157
Between me, my boy, my nephew and their grandad we landed over 50 fish for the day yesterday. Was great to see the little ones enjoy and appreciate a great sport. Only three fish were harmed in the making of this movie/adventure.

Wasn't long when bomber landed one:D
Attachment 45183Attachment 45184Attachment 45185
As we arrived at the mouth of the Tamaki I noticed we couldn't see the Ruahines so I placed a long stick right on the waters edge to see if it was rising @BRADS must be a bit wet at the headwaters? We baled when it had risen to this level.:thumbsup:
Attachment 45186
We headed on out of the Tamaki and went thru bombers farm to his favourite spot on one condition I wouldn't catch his three pet trout;)
Attachment 45187
Well I left his pet trout down there but landed this:D
Attachment 45188
