    @kiwijames you made the right call to bypass here tonight with your fly gear.

    I fished in these gales for 2 and a half hours tonight and this was the calmest pool I found.

    That pool is where I caught my heaviest trout but the landing zone is like bloody quick sand.

    The wind got worse around every bend of the river.

    Conditions were tough with the spinning rod and probably useless with the fly rods.

    Had 5 chases but landed nothing tonight.

    The 6.3 earthquake damaged a bit down there but lucky no one was fishing over that side at the time

    Well if there is someone under there I haven't looked yet

    Lots off sand has fallen into the river from the "Sheep & Beef" side that isn't fenced off

    Tight lines.............

    @Dundee mate. Chose the wrong day
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
