    No, but my 4 year old boy did! His first trout and on a $15 rod/reel combo from Warehouse. Reel has no drag! Proud little boy and proud dad

    Tonight I trialed a "rebel crawfish" lure from the USA and landed a small brown.

    After struggling to catch a cold I went for a quick evening fish on the Tukituki. Not my regular and has been a bit of a jinx river for me. Strong wind has the 6wt Radian on the roof racks.
    First cast and boom. Straight into a solid rainbow that jumped like it was in a rodeo. Woohoo. Caught me by surprise and I dropped the damn rod. One lucky save later and I had him in the net.

    Over the next hour in between howling wind gusts I managed to pick up another 4 and dropped another.



    Most were little fatties around 3-4lb.
    Looks like the Tuki finally likes me.

    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

    @Dundee, with the water conditions as they are in your photos, do you think something small with a swim tail like a Black Magic 'Jelly Bean' would work ?? - needs a few split shot on the line for casting
