It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

Got one more on new years day under the influence of brown bombers and my bomber replica did the trick.

Did a cuppla hours fishing early arvo,saw heaps but no bites.
Replaced my nylon as it was getting a bit dodgey.
With the length on that spool I can cast from Dannevike to Pahiatua
Went back down at 1600hrs for a bit longer. Sighted a beauty from the top of a bank and a few carefully aimed casts had this rainbow fighting. I had to take the fighting trout 50 metres downstream before I could land it as the bank was to steep.Trout came to the waters edge just as the lure came free. Some fast work and job done.
Trout gutted and packed away and I carried on fishing when I saw an eel 20 metres down stream heading to the gutz so I followed it up and took a few pics.
Landed another further downstream and released it.
Started to head back to the bike as it was just beginning to rain,we need it here. Great place to leave the wet weather gear when you are 2km away from bike.

Hot down there this arvo no luck on the lures so tried possum trappers home made articulated streamer.
Once wet it takes a different shape and bang got one. Bloody good fight took a while to land the fat rainbow.
It was well and truly hooked.

Dundee if it is hot down there then why the hell have you got a jacket on? Or is that one of the archived photos that @BRADS keeps telling us about?

Don't think there can be many fish left in that river.
Bloody wet down there tonight....still clean here in the upper Manawatu and down stream it was dirty all the run off from the Ruahine Ranges flowing in down stream.
Landed one small bow and a big brown won the fight in Jacobs pool,reel was screaming and trout was heading for the lower rapids as i was trying to tighten the drag but the bugger won.![]()
