    Nice. You are the Troutmeister Dundee
    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!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    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.

    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.

    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.
