    First trout for me for the new season was last Saturday as the river had just cleared.The heavens opened up while I was down there and river rose fast and got dirty quick too.27 mils fell in the catchment making it dirty for the next 5 days.This was 3.45lb caught on an enticer lure.

    There are no trout in the Waitaki river this year, well except for the six my fishing buddy caught and released, at all times within sight of me today.
    The one that got away doesn't count as 7 , right?

    I congratulated him each and every time though the teeth were a little clenched by the fourth.

    Catch Any Trout Today?

    Took me 13 days to get out and get a few runs on the board for 2010/2020 season.
    Tried some new water as I was getting bored fishing the same reaches.
    First cast success too I hope this bodes well for the coming season. The other 3 I dropped don’t count though.

    Pretty water.

    This guy watched me from his office for a while

    I've not been for a decent fish for a while so decided to take the rest of the week off and explore some new turf.
    I'm also received my new Lamson Litespeed and another Scientific Angler MPX line. It really loads the Radian well and is an awesome setup now.

    Landed a solid rainbow on a lure that is the closest to a frog imitation that I have in my tackle box.

    I boated a small half pound rainbow and a pound brown...then as per the norm drove boat and netted browns for the Mrs...she is a fish catching machine some days.
    lake opuha sure wasnt going off fish wise,far too many fizz boats zooming around all day long for trout to be settled/comfortable......it seems in last few years the new treand is for jetboats to hoon as fast as possible as close as possible to the shore/treeline.....absolute murder on ducklings aswell as a not so good thing for the fish.

    A couple from Taupo on the weekend. This one is a real munter @ 4.3kg, biggest caught in the lake by the group over 25yrs



    The following would have cleaned up any other year but was a distant second @ 3.01kg
