    Look at the trout jaw structure VC. They are quite different between male and female.
    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

    I always try to work upstream. The fish has eyes in its head, not its ass. Sneaking up behind them is always easier. Plus natural food will drift downstream. If I cast upstream the fly comes back down to me, naturally. Trout will always be suspicious of a mayfly swimming upstream.
    Sex is fairly easy. The head gives it away. The short nose and jaw of a female (hen) is always going to be smaller. The jacks (males) will have a longer snout and jaw, with the larger males getting quite a hook at the end of the jaw.

    Between me, my boy, my nephew and their grandad we landed over 50 fish for the day yesterday. Was great to see the little ones enjoy and appreciate a great sport. Only three fish were harmed in the making of this movie/adventure.

    @Dundee

    Yes we stopped and looked.

    The water level was very low so we didn't stay too long.

    Cheers

    Got invited downstream by my mate @bomber for a fish.
    Name: picture 7666.jpg Views: 150 Size: 165.0 KB
    Sean and I joined him at the mouth of the Tamaki Stream where it runs into the Manawatu River.
    Name: picture 7667.jpg Views: 156 Size: 164.0 KBName: picture 7668.jpg Views: 146 Size: 163.6 KBName: picture 7669.jpg Views: 165 Size: 164.8 KB
    Wasn't long when bomber landed one
    Name: picture 7670.jpg Views: 140 Size: 164.2 KBName: picture 7671.jpg Views: 154 Size: 163.2 KBName: picture 7672.jpg Views: 170 Size: 163.9 KB
    As we arrived at the mouth of the Tamaki I noticed we couldn't see the Ruahines so I placed a long stick right on the waters edge to see if it was rising @BRADS must be a bit wet at the headwaters? We baled when it had risen to this level.
    Name: picture 7673.jpg Views: 139 Size: 163.9 KB
    We headed on out of the Tamaki and went thru bombers farm to his favourite spot on one condition I wouldn't catch his three pet trout
    Name: picture 7676.jpg Views: 132 Size: 163.0 KB
    Well I left his pet trout down there but landed this
    Name: picture 7675.jpg Views: 148 Size: 163.3 KB
