    So I have no fish photo on this post. However I did do a Tekapo canals trip and it was one to remember.
    The fishing was hard but I did help another angler and net a stunning 15lb Rainbow.
    I got two small Salmon but released them.
    The conditions were something else. Here's a few photos. Name:  20230610_071523.jpg

    This is a wire deer fence, looks like Trellis.
    Freezing fog, no sun all day and after 7 hours fishing it was still just the same and frozen

Thank you for sharing this, I bought a winter fishing pack just for this weather in there

    The one on the left shows he does`t give shit, the one on the right is pretty angry.
