    I crept through the long grass on the aproach to their campsite and yelled 'FISH & GAME OFFICER,Licences please!' fuck they shit themselves but I knew they were all licenced.


    I hit the river and first cast hooked and landed a small rainbow using a monkey fly which is the closest replica of a cicada.

    Looks messy but the trout recovered after asking the lads if they want breakfast and they weren't starving so it was released.
    You might as well have thown that fish in the bushes as it has about zero chance of survival. All the sand and dirt will remove any protection and it will die of infection or shock.
    Not a dig. Just what I have learnt.

    Catch Any Trout Today?

    Picked up a couple local rainbows yesterday. Trout numbers are higher than normal but are also quite small around 1-3lbs. Water temperature is very warm. Measured 24deg in main flow and 25deg C air temp. This has forced fish into deep holes and backwaters. An evening or early morning fish will be the only way to get some quality orthodox fly fishing in HB for a while.

    My dog was a witness he saw it bust off after the aerial monuvures. The mrs was just around the corner and just heard the splashes and swear words.

    Dog thought stuff this time for a nap
