    Hooked a number of trout last night but couldn't get any to stick. The last one I hooked was from my unanchored boat 5.4 mtr Buccaneer. I played this fish for around 15mns and at one stage it was actually pulling the boat along. Sadly (yeah I now) I didn't get to see it as it was pitch black and the hook pulled. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark

    Tied some new flies, respooled the 6wght and brought new waders which I will cut own to waist size. This arvo I will go and clean the lake bed up a bit and remove a few logs and the odd rock or two.

    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 first fish they landed looked dead then when they threw it back in stiff as a board there was a pool of blood...hope they netted it off camera.

    Yes. The video comments also note that. Pretty mediocre fish handling to be fair. I think tuna are quite fragile once caught so I see no worth in putting them back. There's always a willing table. Just the word yellowfin has me salivating.

    No trout today . . . . but caught a few salmon in the Tekapo Canal last week. We heard rumor of a recent "escape" and fished Thursday AM through Sunday lunch time.

    Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

    OK Im impressed !!!
    In Twizel for the next 2 days for work and have the rod in .... but don't realistically expect to be able to wiggle free and have a flick.
    You should give us a heads up on some time you are going to come up to fish and I will bring @HarryCHCH down with me for a catch up.
    He's getting into the fishing now... got his first legal trout on the Westcoast with me 3 weeks ago about one hour after he got his first ever multi point red stag.
    Regards
