    That was the last trout left in the waitaki river, no point any foreigners coming down and looking for more, there are no deer in the South Island either.
    Well, actually she is still there as I don't take trout unless they have swallowed the hook or are unreturnable then it's the smoker, other wise released.

    One for @Danny.
    The wind finally dropped enough to get out for a pleasant fish. Looks like it is picking up again though

    Some do, some don't. Their sheer bulk means they are stubborn to move and the one I got this morning made three or four good runs but they fight clean so you just have to be patient.

    Nope, didn't catch a thing. First time out for about 15 yrs or so. I forgot how engrossing it is. Afternoon just disappeared. Hooked and lost one and 4 others followed the spinner. Good relaxing afternoon.

    Tally for me from the Manawatu River was 50 for last season.
    Not a bad start here.

    Nice one @Dundee, I might have to get me some of those softballs to try. What weight heads are you using?
