    Huge slice of luck , took VC inland away from the sharks , took him to a old haunt which involved a bit of blackberry , gorse , and balls deep wading , than I remembered! With two dogs in tow we bashed our way some shit to the river ..was even more suprised to find no boot marks.


    Photos say the rest

    Beast. That’s a fantastic fish.
    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

    They are unbelievably good eating. I am hard pressed to tell the difference between the trout and salmon down there.

    I just cold and hot smoked a large bow I caught in the canals a few months ago. I normally release all the fish I catch there but this one was bleeding.

    As someone said above you cant tell the diff between a bow or salmon from there. The fat that dripped off the thing when hot smoking was ridiculous.
    Best trout I have ever eaten. Even better than sea run.

    The fishery down there has changed a lot recently. The salmon farm in the Ohau canal has closed down and been taken to Ohau C and a local told me that with the change of ownership of the farm at the main road there were no longer a proportion of fingerlings released directly into the lake (so no wild population). My last time there was the first time I haven't caught a salmon. On all my previous trips I have always caught more salmon than trout.

    The release didn't go quite as planned as Bo swam out and brought it back!
