    I think this one is pretty standard sized (double figures) for where I'm fishing @Dundee.
    Had a really hot session though. Three fish hooked with my first three casts this morning. Landed a couple of salmon too. Bit different to the hours I put in yesterday evening with no result.

    On the board for 2017. Spent 4hrs on a small stream in the Otorohanga area (Waikato), caught and released 8 - 9, hooked and dropped 4 and mistimed the strike on several others. Nothing huge (like Shearer above) but time well spent.
