    Putting last weeks drama behind us, mate and I set off on another night mission all kitted out with new wading belts thanks to forum good bugger @buzzman
    Was super dark and really mild making for good fishing. We hooked 14 and landed 7 - getting delt to on several occassions with fiesty fish that had no intention of surrendering.
    Of the 4 I landed were 2 nice browns

    Thanks Shearer,

    I must confess to increasing the saturation to pop the colour a tad.. but they were lovely dark coloured browns taken deep in the heads of a pool on the Whakapapa and Whanganui so the main fish in those pools/runs. Both taken on heavy weighted red headed nymphs not on the trailing light weight pheasant tails which is unusual for me anyway.

    Cheers

    Ah.....you were going out again and came back with fish the day before yesterday, I drove 300km to a nobody around creek, tried nearly 100 casts, no single bites. Good for you to have your private playground that nearby. How long for you to drive your quad to the river, you said....10 minutes?
    So be it

    About 5 minutes on the quad to get to the river,but it has been dirty for so long,that is why I try other rivers.Bloody quad not going to flash so I drive the car to the local now,when its clean.

    You should have flicked the rod at the stag Dundee. Now that would have been the stuff that legends are made of. Imagine the headlines in the local rag “Dundee plays stag for eight hours” when questioned, Dundee said “ I only cut the line because a man really needed a beer at that point “. Ha ha ha ha
