    I am not sure what that big ugly fly is called - it looks like some variant of a "bugger streamer" - maybe an UGLY BUGGER STREAMER

    It is not articulated.

    Here is a photo of 4 different flies that I used over two hours (7pm - 9pm) on the same night - and landed a fish with each.

    The small black dry is a Black Gnat - looks like a Twilight Beauty - but is black - obviously.

    I stocked up on some fishing gear before I moved back to NZ.

    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

    Catch Any Trout Today?

    Hard arvo fish but finally succeeded with this 2.5kg hen.

    Followed by an epic evening rise of mayflies. My dry fly fishing needs some work. Pricked a few tiddlers but nothing connected.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
