The days are getting short!

Mark Adamson and I fished together on the Waiau near Te Anau on Saturday. I expected it to be better. We didn’t see many fish and those we did see were difficult. It was still a good day on the water though, they all are I guess! The sun doesn’t get very high in the sky at this time of year, this makes it hard to see fish. Also with the sun so low in the sky, night time comes quickly so if your keen on a night fish you don’t have to wait long. We fished a couple of river mouths into darkness without much success. Again, I expected them to be better. I thought this was about the best time of year to fish river mouths! Maybe I was wrong. Too late? Too early? Not sure…

- Clear intermediate line with a large rabbit pattern for the river mouths. I’ll change to black fly once it gets dark.
- Night time might bring new opportunity…
- Nice place! No fish…
- One of New Zealands great rivers…
- A decent night caught brown…
