@kiwijames you made the right call to bypass here tonight with your fly gear.
I fished in these gales for 2 and a half hours tonight and this was the calmest pool I found.

That pool is where I caught my heaviest trout but the landing zone is like bloody quick sand.:ninj:
The wind got worse around every bend of the river.

Conditions were tough with the spinning rod and probably useless with the fly rods.:(
Had 5 chases but landed nothing tonight.
The 6.3 earthquake damaged a bit down there but lucky no one was fishing over that side at the time:ORLY:

Well if there is someone under there I haven't looked yet:ORLY:
Lots off sand has fallen into the river from the "Sheep & Beef" side that isn't fenced off:pissed off:
Tight lines.............:thumbsup:
