I walked along the river today looking for backwaters where I had see fish before. Unfortunately the backwaters were shrinking and the one of my favourites was occupied by a particularly obnoxious pukeko who alerted anything that might have been there. I did shoot some video of a nice fish though.
I had a humpy dry with a blood worm below it but could not unfurl it. Besides the fish usually came back. A while later I walked to the mouth of the backwater and a fish, I think the same one "pushed" by me to the open river.
Later I walked alomg the local stream. Saw 3 or 4 fish. They weren't too spooky. I lined a couple and they didn't spook but they weren't intertetsted in what I had to offer. I was trying a humpy with a collie below. I tried a caddis with the collie then the caddis by itself. After the linings I tried a midge but sighted no more fish. It was pouring and hard to see.
