Dundee 
Got out last night for a night fish. Managed to hook eight browns in just over an hour yet I was only competent enough to actually get one in the net. Could have done with a net man, I wasn't on point that night. Plus it would have saved me a few flies too haha

Managed to land one yesty in the wind lost 5.
Tonight I trust my dog and cross the river if he gets wet nuts its over my gumboots.
Only saw one and followed the dog back across as the light was fading followed the dog and the barstard took me in the deep end.
Wet boots in the morning no trout but Jakeys pool would be a fly fishers dream. Trout jumping out at flys at 2115 it looked like a bubble bath..probably not big fish but heaps in the river."Thats not a knife, this is a knife"

I went fishing a bit earlier tonight as the Ruahine Ranges were getting some rain.
Told the Mrs I won't be gone for three hours left at 1800 and back after 2100hrs
Landed a brown trout
Bolt checked the lures to use.
This big deep hole is where I caught my trophy trout but it is a mission to land one in quick sand
I had hooked two and landed one keeper on the brown lure
Fished my way back using a black fury witch is my favourite lure as it was the one that landed my personal best trout.
And I had action
Landed the bugger
3hours and two nice trout same water was coverered last night and zilch last night.

Bloody good on ya Dundee. And yes, 1800 to 2100 is three hours if you put that up to have us check your math.
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!

What do you need a shearer for Dundee. You are a bloody dairy farmer.

Caught two 4 kg fish in one afternoon a couple of weeks ago ... finally got the images off my mate who has been off fishing all over the south island ever since.
North Canterbury high country on a Rapala and spin fishing into the holes that were un-fishable by the fly fishers.
I lost two big ones ( broken hooks ) in the Upper Grey the week before and also broke my rod on a 2kg brown.
So it was nice to land a couple of trophy size ones this time.

I'm impressed with the quality of trout you have in NZ I haven't seen fish that good since I left the UK then they were in stocked lakes. Can't wait to catch some and get my kids to taste real wild fish

Catch Any Trout Today?
Certainly some good fishing to be had.
I nipped down to the local creek for a bit of R&R this arvo. Picked up a good condition rainbow hen after only a couple casts. Too small so let it go for another day.
Found a back water that had promise and hooked an old jack that was in poor condition so let him go too. He was well past his prime but would have been a good fish in his day.
Found another fish cruising a beat another 50m upstream. Great fight from a surpurbly conditioned hen. The MIL is in town and like smoked trout so this one came home.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

The young fella didn't want to tag along this arvo in the heat. I came prepared with the new fishing bag.
Bit of action
Another nice rainbow hen landed.

Is that electronic scale calibrated the same as your range finder Dundee?
