    @andyanimal31 I landed two on the Taihape terror tonight.

    Lost four trout and one was a keeper that broke off right at the edge.My feeble attempt to kick it on the bank failed.
    If you can get hold of this lure that I got on holiday at the Taihape sports shop give me a pm because I'm bound to lose it and get it snagged.

    Had to go out the valley & drop off a couple of headlights for a mate ,it became apparent over the course of our chat Sharpie was on chemo.He been pretty crook for a while now but still fighting it with everything he has.Nice to catch up & jack up a ride to Waikato with him next month.Anyway mentioned was going to try get a trout for dinner & would he use a smoked trout if I got a couple?
    Think the reply was F...ck yeah, with that he suggested I try up the river.I had never been up there so jumped at the idea.
    Caught a small hen fish which I returned then fished on up river seeing a few but no takers. Up near the bush a couple of guys seen lighting a fire by the river. A couple of spots to try on the way down & then a lure change.The 1st trout of this season was soon hooked ,played out then gentled to the net .It went into the net bent like a banana but nice one the start with.

    Nice Chris.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Managed to get back down to Rotorua for a few days over the weekend. Landed 6 rainbows within a few hours. Only problem were they were all stick skinny and not overly long. Anyone else been having this problem of late?

    Maybe I just need to get out of the river. Don't tend to generally go too far as there are normally plenty around but could be worth a shot next time I'm back

    Bugger. I was there Wednesday and I saw no one fishing so figured it was a bit slow!

    Yeah would have to agree with that. There were plenty running up the ngo but few seemed to be feeding. And those that were feeding seemed to be poorly conditioned. The big browns should start moving up shortly (if they havn't started already) so should be worth a walk at the right time

    Yes. My parents live on the river.
    Went to Okere Falls for a look as its been a long time since I was last there. Tough fishing now (from about 25 years ago last time I went there).

    Bought a 15/16 licence on Saturday, landed first four fish of season (saw a few more) on Sunday, released two small ones.

    Spinners going back in the shed, bringing out the new (first) fly rod once I get it strung up! Frustrating/challenging times ahead... haven't got a clue what I'm doing when it comes to fly fishing.

    Good work.. Carpe Diem could give you some pointers on fly fishing if you need them.
