It has always intrigued my as to why rainbow trout are not rainbow coloured.
Some of them have beautiful rainbow colours Rushy.
I believe that some would have beautiful colours Dundee but just not beautiful rainbow colours Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. I suppose I don't really give a fuck any way. It is just one of life's little anomalies like sausage doges not really being made of sausage.Quote:

Dundee Explain to me what the point of weighing the trout is. To me, "looks big enough for a feed" would be the only measure.

But that's hunting aye! :thumbsup:

yep just the one trout this morning before the weather packed it in.
The dinner plate measurement works for me,if it fills a plate keep it. I just weigh all the keepers. Another useless bit of information is the condition factor of trout you need both weight and length.Quote:

Scrappy little bugger. River getting dirty an the weed is on the move.Will make fishing tough the next few days.

Took the younger one out to see if she likes fishing as much as she says. Looks like thats a tick. Ngaruroro is too full to fish so Tutaikuri was it. About as full as Id want it to fish. Picked up a few tiddlers on a Veltec and followed up with a nice 1.9kg jack on a Rainbow Trout Rapala CD5. Good fighter. No photos as kid wrangling was harder this time around.
First cast tonight in Jacobs pool:)

Here's a goodie a mate scored jigging last weekend in Waihora (Taupo)
That's kg, not lbs..
http://i316.photobucket.com/albums/m...psznl75sol.jpg
We scored a heap including several over 2.1kg in the same area about two weeks before that.
Nice are they the same scales and rangefinder I get shit about?:)
Dunno about your scales but I trust his (and him) :P
The fish condition is massively improved in Taupo compared to say three years ago, let alone 6-8. The reason was obvious when you netted them- they were just spewing smelt
Parked up at what I thought was too deep, 70m, just wanted to test the wind drift but though I would toss the line in, as it hit the bottom I hooked up. First drop of the day!
