    I found some wacky jig heads that @Pengy gave me ages ago and fitted them.

    Looks much bigger than 6lbs that fella.
    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

    Hell its been that long since I've caught trout I'm no good anyway. I spent yesterday arvo in very leaky waders trying to fish Tutira. No luck and I only got more frustrated being unable to double haul a 90' flyline. A feat I used to perform all night as a teenager on Lake Rotorua.

    Back to the canals today, 3 trout, nothing big and all released. Another couple of good grabs but didn't hook up.
    Over all most fisherman complaining it tough going and quiet. One guy I spoke to had being there a week and hadn't caught a fish so I am not to upset with three fish for the day.

    Catch Any Trout Today?

    Lake Tutira fishing well this season. Stocked with strong Rotorua trout.

    Got this jack this evening wearing his full on spawning colours.
    Kept him for the pot.

    Still have to catch up and do a mission there. My casting is super shite at the moment. I have a bad tailing loop (you know the cast that puts knots in your leader) that I need to sort out before I tackle any decent fishing.

    That loop is my middle name.
