    First cast an 200mm fingerling, smallest trout I have caught on a fly rod. Half an hour later a 4.5lb Hen, thought it was a Jack in the dark, wasn't till I got home to fillet it that I saw eggs. Bummer!.

    That's a bugger GA. Smoked roe then?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Save the fish roe and dry it Gapped Axe.

    You don't have to eat it.

    Back in the 70's an old Maori fella that regularly fished the lower reaches of the Waitahanui river gave me a tip on "local knowledge".

    He was catching fish, I wasn't.

    He said here young fella try one of these, handing me his fly wallet.

    I said, Which one is good for here?

    He said, Doesn't matter they all work.

    I opened his fly wallet to find several streamer fly's inside, mostly different coloured rabbits, all were quite sticky.

    Sandwiched in between these fly's was a good sized piece of dried Roe.

    I picked a fly, tied it on, and was hauling in fish before I knew it.

    Seems the "Local Knowledge" worked for me too.

    Cheers
    Pete
