    Lake Selfe yesterday. As you can see it was gorgeous to be out on the float tube. Mirror calm all day.
    Fish were real deep in the weed beds. 4.5lb jack and a 6lb hen.

    First time on the Tongariro. Magic day in Turangi and what an epic river. Caught a couple maiden hens for the day.

    Uncle managed the Trout Hatchery so I fished it days on end when I was a wee fella in the holidays. Also stayed and was a member at TALTAC is it? A nice place to stay.

    You must know a shortcut then cause Hawkes Bay IS the real bay.

    Not often the days off clash with me and the wife so we headed into the Hawkes Bay catchment.
    Waipawa looked good but not a bite or a trout seen.
