Went for a morning fish on Lake Grasmere - foggy start to the day. I was using a cobra lure on a spin outfit trailing from my kayak. Hooked 3, landed 2, kept one good rainbow. Whilst paddling back, i approached a shore fisho using spin outfit who was camping on the DOC reserve. I said to him, "the fog makes it hard to see about, was it like this yesterday?" His reply was - "not allowed to troll on the lake, been like that for at least 3 years, read the F&G sign". I replied that i am not trolling - do you know the difference? No reply aside from his missus on the bank taking a pic of me!
I believe he interpreted the sign and his regulations incorrectly. Grumpy old bugger!
