    Caught another around 1.5kg and finished up with an OK jack at 2kg for a mate who's parents are in town.
    Nice to see some nice clean water, no dairy farmers up stream 😁

    @bomber. @Dundee. Do you guys have ny failures using a snap swivel to connect to your lure? Never used one but line twist becomes an issue with lures, espeially blade spinners like the Mepps and Veltec's

    Eldest daughter is one term away from finishing her Ecology Degree, smart balanced young adult, very passionate about the environment. I had an interesting discussion with her on Saturday re dairying long and the short of it is we are in the top 10% for dirty water ways = dairy runoff. The clock is ticking ..... Aside to this she was on her way back from banding birds at Miranda - Godwits, Red Knots etc very interesting

    No real failures with snaplock does pay to check them after landing a good fish tho..easy to change lures if having no luck.
    I tye direct to lure a lot as well makes no real difference on fish being caught.

    Mmmm this is a dairy farm looking at the river there is a fence between
    This is not a dairy farmsheep do shitbe alright if it was a level playing feild..Shall I walk a bit further for a photo of the town runoff ending up in the same place🤔.
    I reckon it's everyone's problem...we all need to do our part.

    Shouldn't all waterways be fenced no matter what you do dairy, dry stock, market gardening? As long as I got froth on my latte and flush the shitter it's ok?..
    Dairy ing is an easy target tho I guess. Nice chat @Bonecrusher

    I agree with you Bomber.
    Agricultural as a whole needs to clean up.
    I think most of the problem is the damage has been done buy dairy in the past and that will take a long time to heal.
    Particularly if the testing of the dead crays in the heart of cow country come back to you guys.
    I spent many years boating the manawatu before you arrived and the cows where on both sides of the river from oringi through to the mangi stream.
    The stream that the main road crosses at the golf club was unboatable at cow times as you'd have to stop and wait for the whole heard to cross...
    The river was so polluted behind the aerodrome at timber bay the council put no swimming signs up.
    Lets all hope for a improve.
    Happy fishing lads
