Got a nice and early start to the day yesterday, went fishing for red springs on the Ched. Left the house by 6:15, after a little scrambling to finish preparing the roe I had intended to finish
the night before!!! Oh well, a crazy start is nothing new
Got out on the water after a brief Tim's stop, as well as Fred's to spin some new line on my partners reel. Decided it was a great day for a drive, and went up to Allison. Water was
HIGH, but not impossibly quick. Put a few casts through, ended up hooking a decent cuttie of all things. Didn't see any springs up there, although I did hear some splashing at times.
After a quick lunch on-river, we headed back down the road to Tamahi, and hit the backside of the river. I know this pool has a name, but I cannot remember it for the life of me! We put a few lines through, but nothing. Saw a guy downstream hook one momentarily, but he lost it quite quickly. We ended up just clearing a space on the shore and having a quick nap...lovely! Very much a day to put the fishing vs. catching debate to rest in my mind!
Took a couple photos - had an incredible view downriver!
