First day off work since Christmas Day [emoji45]. Decided to go for an arvo fish. Found "my spot" had some gate crashers but managed to fish politely around them and finished up with 5 for my first day on the river 2017. MIL still in town so a couple kept for the smoker. Caught these last two on consecutive casts. Caught the jack first and my guess is the hen just couldn't keep her mouth shut [emoji850][emoji23]

I think this one is pretty standard sized (double figures) for where I'm fishing @Dundee.Quote:

On the board for 2017. Spent 4hrs on a small stream in the Otorohanga area (Waikato), caught and released 8 - 9, hooked and dropped 4 and mistimed the strike on several others. Nothing huge (like Shearer above) but time well spent.
