I came home a few days early to head up to the hydro canals fishing with a good friend.
Big rainbows were spawning so we threw back three at 22lb, 23, and 27lbs.
Got my personal best at 22lbs but had no qualms about letting it go on and breed for the future.
Only two salmon of note - 8 and 10lbs but my first ever on a soft bait so that was interesting.
Anyone headed to the Toby Shoot in November should have a look at a side trip to Twizel and / or Tekapo.
There are also wallabies on public land in that area !
