    Early start this morning. Too early. On the water it was cold and dark. Couldn't spot a thing. Once the sun broke out though it was a different story.
    8degC water gave me numb feet. After all of Aprils' rain the rivers are flushed crystal clear and is like fishing in neat Bombay Sapphire gin. Very hard to stalk and get a good lay on fish, plus they were surprisingly spooky for an area that should have been quite (shit casting didn't help either).

    Picked up a fish around 1.5 - 2.0kg in a back water via an ambush. Not puritan technique, but it worked. Also dropped another with a bust knot. Getting a bit puzzled now as I have had too many bust offs this season with bad/failed knots.

    Spent a couple of hours at the river late morning till early afternoon. Gave Chris' lures a swim but no luck then I changed to a lightning toby and got this small brown that went back.

    That is a fairly low batting average for the Troutinator Dundee.

    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

    Does anyone here want any of the fly fishing and fly tying magazines. I got a box full in an auction and bidded on the wrong box.
    Pay postage and a donation if you choose and they are yours.

    Not sure but would guess I could put a couple in a large envelope or could put more in a post bag.

    Number wanted will determine price.

    PM me if anyone is keen.

    Well aren't you the educated one. If Dundee is the Troutinator then you must be the Troutfessor.
