    Because I cant be bothered to wet wade with the fly rod and it's a nice change to use a spinner again I thought I'd bust out the old Okuma RTX 30.

    Nice brown on one of the local rivers.

    One of 4 landed.

    Saw about 20 ish fish all up in a few hours

    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

    I took the day off so I could pick up a L3 fish. Who knows, it may be my last chance before the world ends?
    If trout can catch CV-19 I think the locals have not been exposed as they are fighting fit. Bloody tough day with the wind howling like a thousand bastards at times. Good thing I had the Radian

    So explain to me why in the old world regime did people from America come all the way to New Zealand to fish for trout. Don’t you Canadians let them in to your rivers?
    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

    Traditional trout for the old trout on Mother's Day.
    Hawkes Bay fish are in great nick as per Autumn and getting ready to spawn.
    Saw a seal about 20km upstream. Dopey thing playing in a back water.

    My youngest daughter came with me. It was nice to have some time with her. Her snack box took up all my space in my vest and it was a non stop babble but still some quality time. I think of all the things to come of this Covid-19 is that most of us will have had a good chance to spend some (lots of) time with our families.
