    Had to work hard for a couple more from the Tongariro today. Need some rain to get them running again.

    A nice 4lb hen that was kept

    3 fish landed, this was the biggest. The hound thinking he was a fish finder wading around trying to find them after being released was a good laugh.

    This is a wire deer fence, looks like Trellis.
    Freezing fog, no sun all day and after 7 hours fishing it was still just the same and frozen

    So I have no fish photo on this post. However I did do a Tekapo canals trip and it was one to remember.
    The fishing was hard but I did help another angler and net a stunning 15lb Rainbow.
    I got two small Salmon but released them.
    The conditions were something else. Here's a few photos. Name: 20230610_071523.jpg Views: 359 Size: 1.43 MBName: 20230610_081058.jpg Views: 378 Size: 3.15 MB

I have been there before in winter, now I really do `t believe what thermometer or weather report say about temperature. Thank you for sharing this, I bought a winter fishing pack just for this weather in there
    So be it

    The one on the left shows he does`t give shit, the one on the right is pretty angry.
    So be it
