40 mph at patoka all day and is approx 10 mph right now

Wind forecast to drop Sunday morning

Got the slight advantage here of 2km farm river boundary access...depending on wind direction can head to a sheltered section most days🖒

Note to self. @7mmsaum is no good for a wind report [emoji38]
Blowing down the river like a 1000 bastards but a bit of sneaky back water stalking came up with the goods.

1.5 kg Jack. Not so good condition.
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c947121e1d.jpgKept both as the girl insisted we can then have enough fish to invite the neighbours around for a BBQ [emoji106]
Good going for only a couple hours fishing.
This season I'm trialling going back to plane Jane Maxima green 5lb tippet over the expensive fluorocarbon line. Working out fine this far with both fish ambushed in still water.

Well done, still gale force on Kaweka main range at 1 in the afternoon :)

I'm using the Maxima ultragreen in 2,4 and 6 pounds and really like it, have used it since 1990 when Stren abrasion resistance dropped to zero :)

Yes Tutaikuri, not far from my home which is even better.
Condition is good. Dropped an absolute rocket of a fish too. Forgot to check the line after catching the last one. Knot came undone[emoji30] novice mistake.

Landed a few today first one on "black fury orange" trout was a bit quick for the camera,heading off past second white rock.
Attachment 59290
River still murkey and high so switched to a frog replica.
Attachment 59291
Could hear the frogs "croaking" so matched the lure too the conditions.
Results:D

Maybe thats why theres a deal to move them. Look to have a good action but maybe better in deeper water.

Mepps are hard to beat, I have some really old ones I got given years ago and they have stood the punishment of SI rivers.

Wind was tough today but our water is a shit load clearer @bomber :P. Early in the morning got to the net a good fish at 1.8kg.
Dropped so many fish after that I'm wondering how. Some lost on the strike (probably with too much slack line in the wind), some lost a few seconds into it and the last fish lost at the net. Just one of those days I guess.:oh noes:
Was very neat to watch a lot of fish feeding well on what I'm expecting to be willow grubs. I have no imitations so was left out in the cold on a number of beats. Tried to video it as the fish were very active sipping and slashing in the surface layer but the zoom just wasn't there.

catch and release

Oooh, are they Danish land trout? Released to their favourite element of boggy cow paddock and rocky terrarium.

Cleaner up this end @bomber but not for long after what was falling in the Ruas tonight

Yep. Green beetle coming on well. Willow grubs too but they are tiny and very difficult to imitate. Well for me anyway.
