    With all the local waters dirty I pointed the mitsi's nose north. First stop the Tongariro for a few hours, picked up a nice 4lb jack that was released

    With dusk approaching it was off to a small stream mouth for some night fishing.....ended up being the best session I've had for ages hooking 11, landing 8 and keeping 3 fatties around the 5lb mark

    Not much to show for a day's "work", but that's Northland river fishing. Actually, got a slightly smaller fish too and lost about five others including a "whopper" over a pound. Relearnt some long forgotten lessons. River trout fight harder than their lake cousins, set your drag appropriately! Rainbows can be incredibly aggressive. Original Rapala lures are bloody good fish catchers!

    Ask Santa for a net this year.
    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
