    Nice one Dundee. Time on the river is time well spent.

    Went for a morning fish on Lake Grasmere - foggy start to the day. I was using a cobra lure on a spin outfit trailing from my kayak. Hooked 3, landed 2, kept one good rainbow. Whilst paddling back, i approached a shore fisho using spin outfit who was camping on the DOC reserve. I said to him, "the fog makes it hard to see about, was it like this yesterday?" His reply was - "not allowed to troll on the lake, been like that for at least 3 years, read the F&G sign". I replied that i am not trolling - do you know the difference? No reply aside from his missus on the bank taking a pic of me!
    I believe he interpreted the sign and his regulations incorrectly. Grumpy old bugger!

    He learnt Brown Bombers are an exceptionally mediocre beer and tomatoe sauce belongs on very few food items especially trout.

    Went back to my regular spot as it was an epic fail over Summer. Pleasantly surprised to find most runs had fish. Dropped a couple for bad knots. Think I need to look at a different nylon leader. Only got half a season from the Maxima Chameleon. Finally got this little fatty to stick. I’ve not put one to the smoker for a while so I dispatched this hen and took her home.
