So I have no fish photo on this post. However I did do a Tekapo canals trip and it was one to remember.
The fishing was hard but I did help another angler and net a stunning 15lb Rainbow.
I got two small Salmon but released them.
The conditions were something else. Here's a few photos. Attachment 226276Attachment 226277
This is a wire deer fence, looks like Trellis.
Freezing fog, no sun all day and after 7 hours fishing it was still just the same and frozen
If someday we get chance to go for a ice fishing somewhere else not in NZ....then you can feel the cold. -12 is not that cold since you still got bites. I have been there before in winter, now I really do `t believe what thermometer or weather report say about temperature. Thank you for sharing this, I bought a winter fishing pack just for this weather in there :)
Couple of primo conditioned bows from last nights mission:cool:
