Sunday 21st October, Lake Opuha

Snow fell on Saturday around the lake and it was still underfoot when I began. I went to the lake because the rivers were up.  I parked at Bennett's corner and started to walk around. The lake was relatively clear and high. I quickly hooked a fish on the weighted woolly bugger but it quickly broke the line or the knot failed.  I was using a long length of 6X tippet that was on the line already. For the next three hours i trudged around the lake.  I saw and spooked enough fish.  The woolly bugger was the only one of that pattern I had. A thoroughly disheartening day and the holidays ends without a fish.
