    Fished this deep pool again tonight where Bolt was having a nap on the above picture with a new rapala imitation I bought today with H&F vouchers I got for Christmas. They are called 'Strada'

    Name: picture 4877.jpg Views: 459 Size: 165.1 KB

    I was fishing where Bolt was resting when I got the strike and this is about 3 metres above the water. It was going to get messy if the fish held and it did. Down on the silty bank I landed it covered in silt from the splashing and the nylon broke while the fish was half in the water and half out. This is the same pool I caught my trophy brown trout. And the nylon snapped landing that big bugger too.

    Walked upstream to wash me and trout.

    Hooked two more on the way home but didn't land them.

    Good work Dundee.

    Nice Photos and that Rapala looks the biz too.

    My suggestion is to use steel traces if you don't want them Monsters busting your line again.

    Will cut down on the amount of river side swearing too

    Cheers
    Pete

    Change of scenery today with a fish up the Ngaruroro. First fish to the net @1300. Not bad for a 1230 start.
    First forum fish for the year?

    Mangatoro Stream must of been dirty yesterday as the Manawatu was dirty where I normally fish. So I drove 12km upstream and fished the Manawatu River and it was crystal clean. Hooked one and saw some good chunky rainbows.

    No photos but we went up to Loganburn dam on the first. Had a fish for a couple of hours and landed for fish between five of us. Not great but ok for middle of the day fishing. Will head back up later in the month
