Nice fish Dundee. Do you think those beads make a difference?
Who'd have thought it?

23 rainbows and three browns for January.First rainbow for Feb.Attachment 104311Attachment 104312
After struggling to catch a cold I went for a quick evening fish on the Tukituki. Not my regular and has been a bit of a jinx river for me. Strong wind has the 6wt Radian on the roof racks.
First cast and boom. Straight into a solid rainbow that jumped like it was in a rodeo. Woohoo. Caught me by surprise and I dropped the damn rod. One lucky save later and I had him in the net.

Over the next hour in between howling wind gusts I managed to pick up another 4 and dropped another.

Most were little fatties around 3-4lb.
Looks like the Tuki finally likes me.
Blade spinners haven't had many hits this month so I put on an "Enticer"

@Dundee, with the water conditions as they are in your photos, do you think something small with a swim tail like a Black Magic 'Jelly Bean' would work ?? - needs a few split shot on the line for casting
