Monday 29th Tengawai Bridge

Popped down the river for 45min after work.  Game plan was to fish the confluence of the "farm" creek and the Tengawai where I has seen a small fish yesterday.  I used a green caddis below a Kakahi Queen but there was no-one home.  I went upstream to a glide where I had fished last season.  There was a rise and I retied with a Grenwell's Glory below the Kakahi Queen.  I caught (and landed!) a 150mm long trout.  My first fish in the Tengawai.  It had the Glory through its upper lip.  I stuck gently and retrieved the fish quietly  It was released because of its size.  I fished on for a few more minutes but it was time to go.  When packing up I noticed that both my Queen and my Glory were gone. Lesson: retie your flies after catching a fish and don't touch the water on your back cast!
