    Tarawera twin trout GA.
    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

    Fishing starting up at Tarawera now? I’m wanting to give the old grounds a good go this winter.
    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

    @Gapped axe. Shot over to Te Wairoa. Never caught a fish here. Was keen to break that run. Funny fishing it alone. Feeling like it was out of season. No fish harmed. Few up in the trap showing spawning colours.

    Your truck was on the side of the road between Rangiuru Bay and The Landing. I’m guessing that then is going to be close to your home? I think I helped build a home not far from there. The neighbour when we were there bought their section for something crazy like 10 pounds.

    Good day then mate?
    Motiti was good, possibly my best.
    Needed a bug catcher on board however...
