    This river is alive and has such bad media bullshit put on it. The last Nz flyfisher mag had a good article about the Manawatu River

    I have PM'd the recipe to you Dundee. If you do use it then post a pic but guard the recipe with your life otherwise everyone will be living like a king and we just can't have that. Only joking mate, by all means share. It is only my venison marinade that I will leave to someone in my will.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    My experience is even small pools can hold 1/2 dozen trout all round the same size but also very often there is a big fish with them
    He'll generally be very cagey ,he hasn't got big by being stupid.I've taken 3 fish out of the head of a pool with out moving my feet & then picked up another 2 at the tail end of same pool . They also seem to be quite territorial & 1 good fish in a pool or run is common.
    The prime spots on the river are very popular & doesn't take long for another fish to move in.

    You want some plum sauce to go with that baked trout .

    Seeing these fotos makes me think I might have to review my lack of licence status...but vehicle upkeep comes first
