    Went to check out the damage after the big flood and found my favourite pool longer exists. After a bit of exploring I found a little pocket that looked like it might hold some fish and managed to hook 5.
    Of the 3 I landed 2 were long, skinny and quickly released and the other was a nice conditioned 3.5lb jack that I kept.

    Then it was off for a night fish where I managed to pick up another 3.5lb jack

    Nice fat brown, had a couple of other hookups but they spat the hook pretty quick. The fishing has been pretty good lately.
    Maybe you will need to sharpen your hooks, and get better setting hooks next time. Help this could help a little.
    So be it

    Had a good few hours chilling on the Tongariro. Still plenty of fish in the river with a nice mix of freshies and post spawners to put a bend in the rod.
    Hooked 11 and landed 7.

    Some of you catch a lot of trout. What's your preferred method of preparation and cooking? I asked a while back, but it would be good to update.

    I fillet and pan fry in butter about 95% . Smoke a few occassionally.
    Lately been mincing the fillets with onion, egg, salt n pepper to make patties.

    I ate trout in raw once, Sashimi dish, quiet nice actually. But, considering parasites....may will never do that again, but maybe will try one more time for a nice trout from a crystal clear river in high country.
    So be it
