Went out for my opening.
I always fish November onwards.
Saw 12.
Landed 2. Dropped 1. Missed 1.
All in deep pools down deep but with the fast flows and high river levels of late down here it was quite technical with a dry dropper plus trying to get to were ya wanted to .
I could've done a bit better if I'd popped a tungsten double nymph rug on but opted not to as when targeting the side streams I like to see the dries work their magic .
The one I did miss was on a good old Humpy and I missed the take twice. Which I later caught on a good old fashioned copper John.
Fish are in poor condition due either to late spawning or higher than normal flows and levels so all released.
