About LinkBacksJust back from 3nts on Lake Rotoiti, my 1st trout fishing since coming back to NZ last year. Myself and mate on his boat, bro and Dad on bro's. Hit the water 1pm Thursday, I landed 1st fish 25mins later and we had 4 on board in 1st hour. Between Thursday and Friday the 4 of us landed 21 fish. Saturday was much slower, only 5 landed. A great wee intro back into fishing here.

I went into Hope Arm on Lake Manapouri last week - on Weds in a snow storm - there was snow on the boat ramp when we left Pearl Harbour.
Caught and released some big fish as they were all too skinny - they still need another 4-6 weeks and some warmer weather to get back to fighting weight after the winter.

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.

Just a warning to those that fish downstream of the Manawatu Gorge.

get a bloody haircut and have a shave soldier. does that remind you of anything Dundee?
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

Two Rainbows caught this weekend, first one the wife caught and the second was released as at 57cm it was over the length limit.

I think the HB fishing is a little poor at present. Especially in the lower reaches. El Nino summer coming isn't going to help.
Got out for a fish this arvo. Dropped more fish than I care to tell

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

One of the rivers close to home just opened yesterday.
Be rude not to have a flick.
Size 14 pheasants tail does the damage.
Dropped another 2 of which one played a game of take the fly and f!$k off into the over hanging willows on a unweighted size 18 prince.
Hoping to get out again tomorrow and target some water i haven't seen since aprill
