    Catch Any Trout Today?

    Hard arvo fish but finally succeeded with this 2.5kg hen.

    Followed by an epic evening rise of mayflies. My dry fly fishing needs some work. Pricked a few tiddlers but nothing connected.

    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

    Where is your f..k.. net? Don't you need one in your waters bro? We give our trout a good stamp if they are naughty and land on the bank before they are released.

    Nah don't need one supposedly. Dragged this specimen up the bank, over to the ute (cause I really needed another beer) and back again. This made sure she got a good dose of health enriching air too. I then chose the "Dan Cater" drop kick release method. She loved the way it massaged her innards and the removal of that pesky protective mucous cover was a burden she was grateful to lose.

    You're doing it wrong normally just bang on head and take them home, must be a caveman thing....or one less left to eat the native wildlife at least.

    @Sean. If it wasn't already dead, yes it would.
    I don't carry a priest as there is always a suitable rock or stick to deliver the coup de grace on the river bed and this was done as soon as possible after netting this fish.
    I too take the occasional fish to eat and this young lady was in such good nick it was an easy decision to make.
    I have no objection what so ever to killing trout or other game/pests in a humane and respectful manner.

    Nah it'll be fine mate. Actually I think I made it healthier with a gravel bath cause the cheeky bugger not only swam off sweet as, it even started showing off by doing tricks like swimming upside down when I let it go!

    Only a fishy tail today......
    Hooked onto my best ever jack rainbow from river today. After a short but decisive fight some great aerodynamics it came off, only to rub salt in wound and leap once more a couple of feet in the air, I swear I saw the dog and I sat on bank for a good 45 minutes consoling ourselves. Not sure who was more pissed me or the dog

    Afternoon stroll down river hooked 3 small trout. Then the dog spotted a good one3lb After dispatching these introduced pests with a single blow to the headHeaded up river and landed my 2nd ever trout from the tamakiNo room for nets under the willows. Then spotter dog caught her first ever (another) introduced pest Which I did really dispatch with a quick blow. Luckily I carry my beers and didn't have to drag them all to the ute Shit I walked here.....

    Bomber it's good to see some proper fishing Techniques rather than the terrible display from @kiwijames .
