2 hours hiking and fishing and I land the only fish at the first pool I started at.

And get to use my new scales

Dundee Explain to me what the point of weighing the trout is. To me, "looks big enough for a feed" would be the only measure.

@223nut

Last time this happened to me I walked into the Mackintosh hut in the Kaweka ....... 14 hrs and 11kms later I got back at the van completely Buggered and empty handed just after midnight.

I then sat down next to the van to have a cuppa tea and got whistled at from the pines on the other side of the road from the car park, 30m away

But that's hunting aye!

Cheers

yep just the one trout this morning before the weather packed it in.

The dinner plate measurement works for me,if it fills a plate keep it. I just weigh all the keepers. Another useless bit of information is the condition factor of trout you need both weight and length.

We had 18mils of rain so headed out this morning to a rising river.

Scrappy little bugger. River getting dirty an the weed is on the move.Will make fishing tough the next few days.

Took the younger one out to see if she likes fishing as much as she says. Looks like thats a tick. Ngaruroro is too full to fish so Tutaikuri was it. About as full as Id want it to fish. Picked up a few tiddlers on a Veltec and followed up with a nice 1.9kg jack on a Rainbow Trout Rapala CD5. Good fighter. No photos as kid wrangling was harder this time around.

First cast tonight in Jacobs pool
