The problem KJ is that you are trying to prove to yourself that the Radian was worth buying - we both know you should be leaving it at home and taking the ' One'Quote:

Same water. Same clown hanging onto it with the same rig.
Sage One = 1,
Scott Radian = 5.
If I was going hungry I still know which one I’m grabbing and which One will stay in the rack. [emoji24]
Trout with foxglove seasoning. Will make your heart race for sure.Quote:

Also I found that with the 'One' I have to release the shoot higher above the water to get a good non- spooking presentationQuote:

Well the only thing to do is sell them both and buy a Sage Method !!Quote:

Rio Gold on the Scott. SA on the Sage. The line isn’t fluro it just looks a bit bright in the photo. The front 9’ is a light tan colour too.Quote:

Poor old colour blind bastard didn't get spooked by the SA line. He is certainly resplendent though. Have you considered swapping reels between rods to see if the line is spooky on the One - the weights are close enough wouldn't matter??Quote:

Nice one Dundee. Time on the river is time well spent.

Went for a morning fish on Lake Grasmere - foggy start to the day. I was using a cobra lure on a spin outfit trailing from my kayak. Hooked 3, landed 2, kept one good rainbow. Whilst paddling back, i approached a shore fisho using spin outfit who was camping on the DOC reserve. I said to him, "the fog makes it hard to see about, was it like this yesterday?" His reply was - "not allowed to troll on the lake, been like that for at least 3 years, read the F&G sign". I replied that i am not trolling - do you know the difference? No reply aside from his missus on the bank taking a pic of me!
I believe he interpreted the sign and his regulations incorrectly. Grumpy old bugger!
Had a few epic days with an Aussie chap that contacted me on "Dundees Trout Adventures" page.We covered a lot of water and landed a few and the fella learnt heaps.Attachment 107634Attachment 107635Attachment 107636Attachment 107637Attachment 107638Attachment 107639Attachment 107640Attachment 107641Attachment 107642
He learnt Brown Bombers are an exceptionally mediocre beer and tomatoe sauce belongs on very few food items especially trout.Quote:

Had a little work to finish yesterday at the river so took the Girl with me she was keen on a fish , she hooked this beauty ! ...couple of grams shy of 4 pounds , we smoked it up last night, very proud she was :).
Went back to my regular spot as it was an epic fail over Summer. Pleasantly surprised to find most runs had fish. Dropped a couple for bad knots. Think I need to look at a different nylon leader. Only got half a season from the Maxima Chameleon. Finally got this little fatty to stick. I’ve not put one to the smoker for a while so I dispatched this hen and took her home.

Today no bites and hurried home for a heavier lure to cast and landed two with the 7mm08 spinning lure when I got back to the river.

The local creek has been pretty ordinary over Summer but Autumn has had a decent change with good numbers of great condition fish. 8 fish this arvo with a couple self releasing including one large jack I’m picking at 3.5+kg.
Most fish around 2kg mark and super fit. Tennis elbow and fly fishing are not a nice combo.

Pure Fly NZ is on tonight at 2030hrs Duke TV Ch 23
I'm going trout fishing tomorrow. Not often you'll here a Northlander say that. Now I've said it, I have to go and put some effort in to catching a mud fish. I'll report back.
Mission accomplished. Three Northland trout, ranging from about 1.5 to 2.5lb. I hope they make good snapper bait.

That was a joke about snapper bait.
Maybe I should try my aunts place up north. She says she has Trout in her creekQuote:
