Hit or miss...

| Not much to report because although the fishing is improving it continues to be pretty hit or miss on the Tongariro ... even if you move around. There are still a lot of juvenile rainbows in the river and if you're using small patterns under the indicator you'll inevitably hook a few during the day.

Already the mornings are much cooler and overhead you can here the honking of Canada geese as they fly to their autumn feeding grounds. Soon the deciduous trees will begin to shut down in earnest and on breezy days it will "snow" leaves all along the river bank. My "boatie" friends tell me they've been getting some great conditioned fish from the lake. So although its early days we should start to see a difference over the ... |
