Five rods and I was the only one that landed one.Mrs D hooked one and it snapped the nylon and took off with a fancy piercing on the lip.

I am finally on the board for the 2015-2016 season. A good friend took me out to a new found SPOT X on the Oreti River just outside Invercargill.
These weighed in at 3lb 11oz and 3lb 13oz (gutted) on the kitchen scales.
Yes, Catch and Eat is the name of the game down here.

With the length on that spool I can cast from Dannevike to Pahiatua:D
Went back down at 1600hrs for a bit longer. Sighted a beauty from the top of a bank and a few carefully aimed casts had this rainbow fighting. I had to take the fighting trout 50 metres downstream before I could land it as the bank was to steep.Trout came to the waters edge just as the lure came free. Some fast work and job done.:cool:

Trout gutted and packed away and I carried on fishing when I saw an eel 20 metres down stream heading to the gutz so I followed it up and took a few pics.
