get those details to @Uplandstalker re wap blocks before you go!!!

I went out a couple of days ago...got this fella Farley well trained now hes a bit grumpy though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl5lq_vBkDI

Far out he could move fast.

Jeez all we have to worry about is a big stinking trout in the net.
Looks a good spot all to yourself as well

Yea he was pretty quick alright even on land for a short burst ...makes you think twice before stepping over a log aye !!.

Hi R39 just me and my mate there ...week days are good

Yup. I tend to get a good choice of spots during the week as well.
This flood is dropping fast and should be able to fish tomorrow.
Still have 2 weeks off. Hopefully get into some bait soon.

Shit yes. You have a nice easy no fuss set up as well.

I have a bit of work to do everytime I site my net but can then sit around till I lift it, providing it is catching properly.
Can be greedy this week and put out 2 nets as I will have the kids helping.

School holidays ...good idea!....though i can hear them whinging already'' when are we going home dad...girls ....3 of them " I mostly fish the mouth with that net but tide was well in so shifted back to a little current

Ha ha you know it! I will have the iPad fully charged just in case and tons of tucker and drinks.
My boy will be able to chase some trout to kill time.

Getting gear together New sock has been soaking in tea bags over night , was insane how white it was . Hate looking like a newby on the river , net got the tannon colour going on , just stinks like a strong cup of tea

Have you seen the new Chinese southland sock copies Munsey?
Half the price of the NZ ones and good colour.
I have only just bought one but it is working well so far.
Works really well in a strong or soft current.

They square or round ? , did see some grey ones in the shop but never took any notice of price etc , I'm pretty sure they where square ones . Never used one , the stand I'm using don't alloy set nets only scooping . And we close to mouth , I'm picking they are better upstream ?

They are square mouthed and round sections/hoops.
Yeah. Generally you need a current to fish them properly.
If the bait are on a mission any, water will do.
