Too nice a day to work so took a leaf from the dairy farmers and only worked half a day [emoji23]
Caught a beaut 2.6kg fish straight off the bat and let her go.

Caught another around 1.5kg and finished up with an OK jack at 2kg for a mate who's parents are in town.

Eldest daughter is one term away from finishing her Ecology Degree, smart balanced young adult, very passionate about the environment. I had an interesting discussion with her on Saturday re dairying long and the short of it is we are in the top 10% for dirty water ways = dairy runoff. The clock is ticking ..... Aside to this she was on her way back from banding birds at Miranda - Godwits, Red Knots etc very interestingQuote:

Back at you Bomber
Not saying dairy farming intensification is good. My point being everyone has to do there bit on waterways, how many councils pump untreated sewage into streams?Quote:

Dairy ing is an easy target tho I guess. Nice chat @Bonecrusher
Now back to the Trout Fishing🖒

I think most of the problem is the damage has been done buy dairy in the past and that will take a long time to heal.
Particularly if the testing of the dead crays in the heart of cow country come back to you guys.
I spent many years boating the manawatu before you arrived and the cows where on both sides of the river from oringi through to the mangi stream.
The stream that the main road crosses at the golf club was unboatable at cow times as you'd have to stop and wait for the whole heard to cross...
The river was so polluted behind the aerodrome at timber bay the council put no swimming signs up.
Lets all hope for a improve.
Happy fishing lads

The electric shocks may be an attempt to cure your terrible release technique.Quote:
