    No, but Taupo was my old home town. All the time I was there never caught a Rainbow that big on the lake.

    Best trout of the trip. 15 lb Rainbow hen. I think I spent 2 days as wet as the fish.

    Haven't had any of this one yet but judging by the other trout I have had from down there you are hard pressed to tell the difference between them and the salmon. They are in such great condition. They actually have fat along their back and belly!
    The only bad fish I have caught down there was a Sockeye that was about to spawn. A bit skinny (by comparison) and the flesh was a dirty brown/grey colour and felt mushy. It went in the bin.

    Basically using a soft bait outfit and a selection of soft and metal lures. Fishing from the shore. On the last day (Yesterday) I caught my limit of 4 salmon in about an hours fishing. By contrast, the first day I fished, I lost about 6 lures, dropped my phone in the lake and caught nothing.

    I didn't know there was a fishing app. Obviously it isn't very good because you caught nothing but how does it work?
    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

    Nothing to do with a fishing app @Rushy. I just had my phone in the top pocket of my swannie and when I lent forward it fell out. Luckily I got it out of the water pretty quickly and no damage seems to be done except for the camera lens being fogged up for a couple of days.

    Well....it turns out (after seeking some expert advice) that this is not a Sockeye at all, but a spawning spent Chinook. It looked so different from any of the others I had caught I had assumed it was a different species, especially considering I caught it near the mouth of the river the Sockeye spawn.
