Neat afternoon with the girl. Saw this one feeding under a willow on either emergers or duns (hard to tell).

Landed one small brown yesty and lost four gave the new reel a good work out.As the old reel has been worn out.

Today one of the lads made an articulated streamer.
Attachment 43267
I took it swimming with a bit of split shot to add a little bit more weight on the spinning rod.
Attachment 43270
I had several chase it and one hit but nothing landed on it.
On the way back I changed to the black fury and landed this solid rainbow hen.

I had to laugh while in Oz recently, caught some edible? fish in the Murray and the old boy reckons just leave it out for a day or two to 'set'...........oh yeah whatever mate i'll roll with it. First one got eaten by something overnight and only the head was left and the second one he gutted and cooked two days later. Tasted like arse.
Yum,yum more for the freezer
@EeeBees. Thanks for the access directions. Worked a charm.

Got blown away for the first time in a while. Not a big fish but strong and probably foul hooked.
Found some more decent sized fish that can wait for another day too. Wind was not in my favour at all. Nor was it for this Toebiter (Dobsonfly).

Got out last night for a night fish. Managed to hook eight browns in just over an hour yet I was only competent enough to actually get one in the net. Could have done with a net man, I wasn't on point that night. Plus it would have saved me a few flies too haha
Managed to land one yesty in the wind lost 5.
Tonight I trust my dog and cross the river if he gets wet nuts its over my gumboots.Attachment 43599
Only saw one and followed the dog back across as the light was fading followed the dog and the barstard took me in the deep end.
Wet boots in the morning no trout but Jakeys pool would be a fly fishers dream. Trout jumping out at flys at 2115 it looked like a bubble bath..probably not big fish but heaps in the river.
I went fishing a bit earlier tonight as the Ruahine Ranges were getting some rain.
