What do you need a shearer for Dundee. You are a bloody dairy farmer.
Caught two 4 kg fish in one afternoon a couple of weeks ago ... finally got the images off my mate who has been off fishing all over the south island ever since.
North Canterbury high country on a Rapala and spin fishing into the holes that were un-fishable by the fly fishers.
I lost two big ones ( broken hooks ) in the Upper Grey the week before and also broke my rod on a 2kg brown.
So it was nice to land a couple of trophy size ones this time.

Been to the river with mr dundee and sean dundee this morning heaps of fish 7 bites and 6 chasers,try my luck again tonight down the river yay love it.
Certainly some good fishing to be had.
I nipped down to the local creek for a bit of R&R this arvo. Picked up a good condition rainbow hen after only a couple casts. Too small so let it go for another day.
Found a back water that had promise and hooked an old jack that was in poor condition so let him go too. He was well past his prime but would have been a good fish in his day.

Found another fish cruising a beat another 50m upstream. Great fight from a surpurbly conditioned hen. The MIL is in town and like smoked trout so this one came home.

Is that electronic scale calibrated the same as your range finder Dundee?
Top of the range Rushy:)
Got a mate downstream into fresh water fishing.He and his mate came out last night and grabbed some lures off me and went back to the river at his place.They were itching to give it a go but the warehouse was only shop open and the bought rods with 15lb nylon which is not ideal for trout fishing.The trout will see the line.
Anyway young fella asks me to go to H&F this morning and heres my mate spending up on freshwater fishing gear. Rod and reel withe line,lures,tackle box,polaroid glasses,and a fishing pack and a licence.......................$350.00
Dude at H&F owes me a deal or two now.;)
I went fishing for a couple of hours this arvo and seen heaps.

Polaroids really do help as this next photo the trout were further away but a just blurrs on the picture.

Tried all my fancy lures,rapalas,veltics and even used a few articulated streamers and few chases but nothing.
Put on the black/gold striped toby and landed a fat rainbow.Let it go.

My mates coming out later and I'm going to take him to a few pools that hold trout hope its "tight lines" for him.
Later in the week @CANKIWI and his family are calling in to try there luck.
That rainbow looks more like a rugby ball than a fish
One minute Trout! Spent the afternoon with my wife, daughter, husband and three grand kids on the Great Lake, out of Whangmata Bay to the left into Whakaipo Bay, for a lazy afternoon swimming and enjoying a magic day, weather and lake perfect! Left about 4 pm and stopped for a quick bit of jig fishing half back into Whangamata Bay. Dropped in 3 Ginger Micks, 46 metres, hit the bottom and Whamo nice hen, chucked rod in boat, Grand kids suitably impressed, trout for breakfast! Doesn't get easier than that!:cool:Attachment 44072
Picked up this 9 pound brown yesterday evening.
Canterbury low country river.
Third fish over 8 pounds this month.
