    Sunrise on the Canals Sunday morning. Starting to get cold, fishing is very hard at the moment with one old boy telling me he had been there for a week and got no fish and one bite.
    Water flow was good but for the most part very dirty. Spoke to a guy working on the fish farms at Ohau C and he said it was dead. He expects it to improve as the weather cools off and hopefully the water gets better.
    A noticeable lack of camper vans both on the drive over and at the canals themselves .
    I was lucky and using the right colours softbaiting and caught 3 trout , all pretty bloody skinny and all were released.Name: DSC_0100.JPG Views: 168 Size: 2.18 MB

    Dundee how are you managing the withdrawal symptoms? Trout fishing and that god awful Lion Brown shit you drink.

    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

    I think you only have symptoms if you withdraw.

    . That is true and I forgot that in Dundee’s case Lion Breweries has a separate production facility with a conveyor belt to his gate. Ha ha ha ha

    Good on ya @Dundee I'm sure they'll be well appreciated! Bloody creepy looking things once they're dried and salted, but they go a long way! What caught my eye was the blade on that Mercator! Deliberate sharpen or you just worn that thing right down? Takes a lot of work to do that!
