    Been meaning to have a proper crack at trout fishing for a while, shitty forcast today and a work call-out in the morning meant no spearing so decided to wander a local waterway and have a flick.

    Managed to bag a pretty decent rainbow. Not bad for the first ever trout caught from the shore, and the first trout landed in about 15 years.

    3.7kg and 70cm....

    High country rainbow. Lakes have been over full with all the rain, better day yesterday with a bit of sunshine and activity.

    Tried fishing the upper pomahaka.

    Last 3 days.

    From below hukarere station and all through it.

    Word of advice.

    Don't, don't even bother.
    Paradise ducks galore. Fish in places that get spooked by the parries which follow you for km after km landing in every single pool or likely spot to hold fish.

    Fish are extremely finicky, have had some pressure by the looks and are super super spooky. Only managed to hook 1. And then like the twit I was I put a touch much pressure on and snapped the knot.

    Take heaps of flies, be prepared for heaps of shitty wind that changes constantly due to high gullies funneling it in . A powerful 6 or 7 weight that has heaps of power like a Scott Radian would be the type of rod to take. Big fish in places yes but very frustrating. As they say thats fishing

    Take the shotty those noisey bastards do the beat up our river too,1 o 2 km from the ducklings they still hound ya.Clapping hands only works for 5 or 10 mins.

    A quick mission yesterday morning for the trout lovers of the family. Deboned and ready for whatever recipe is used. More than likely fish and chips, with the flesh tasting like whitebait.

    Haha that's classic, just had a look at the website. We tried calling the number on the tag after we caught it to find out what the story was but they are on holiday like everyone else

    Lucky we kept it

    Great spot up there, boys are super keen to go back, youngest one wants to go again tomorrow. Checked out the campsite, plenty of shade so reckon next time we throw the tents in
