    Nice condition rainbow caught on a stream mouth in Taupo, lumo wet flys seem to work well.

    Headed to a CNI river today to make the most of the fine weather. Cicadas were in full voice, nothing screams dry fly action as much as hot weather and Cicadas chirping away, ended the day with 8 landed mosty smaller fiesty rainbows with a couple of bigger ones in the mix, lost about the same amount and had a few smash the dry fly buy no hookups. Even had the indicator smashed by a feisty little bow. Good day on the river and my fly throwing skills are improving.

    Rainbows of this size made up the day, this one took the cicada, love the surface takes thats what dry fly fishing is about for me.
