Well i had the day off(my Birthday) and the wife was working from home
So i hit the Ved about 8am
I tired at one are first only three guys fishing the run so lots of room


After a few casts i notice the guy above me has a fish on
so i walk over and tail the fish for him
it was a nice chrome doe about 8-9lbs
He says this is the second one so far from the same area
so i ask if i can start above him(he replies sure lots of room)
well we both try this whole run but nothing
Then he heads down to the next run
A few casts later and down goes my float
I strike and feel tugging on my rod heart starts to spped up then i realise it was a snag and a brach had come off and that was the tugging
Then the guy who left returns with his buddy to fish the run
His buddy had a fish on at the lower run but lost it at the shore
His buddy gets a hit after a few cast but it just took his gohst shrimp
They leave and i work my way down to the next run
There is another guy there just leaving and he informed me that he had one on for a while(pink Worm)
and he had a few hits on Roe Bags
I tried the run with all i had Shrimp, blade, Worm. jen egg,wool
but nothing
I then move up river a bit and no one there(nice)
great run but nothing doing
by now it was getting cold with the rain but thats fishing
i move down to another run and star with a blade
after  quite a few casts float goes down,strike, snag
tug tug blade gone
So i switch to a small pink worm
Just as i think ok time to go home my eyes deviate from the float as it gets to the end of the drift
i look back and no float damn i think another snag
i give the line a tug and fish on
I ease off it a bit as i dont want it to head to the rapids
this works and the fish swims up river toward me well i cant see it yet
a few little runs up and down and i get to see its a hatch
well this run doesnt have a good landing spot but i make the best of it and she is in safe hands
bonk photo and i am off home Yeeha

I'm surprised you saw this many fish. I was out from 7:30 until 2 pm and I only heard of one fish hooked all day, and I didn't see any. We fished the train bridge in yarrow for a bit but really crowded, moved up to Lickman road for 2 hours but talked to 4 or 5 people that said they hadn't seen any so we headed up to the limit hole. Fished the limit hole for a while and didn't see any hooked, water was really shallow and clear. Ten we moved down to Peach where a guy told us he saw someone lose one at the Vedder Crossing. Fished Peach for a while and nothing so came home, hopefully I have better luck tomorrow.

Every Day there is a lot of good water between the Lickman and limit hole
Pick a good run and fish it well
cover all the water
change up your presentation
depth etc
and good luck

We were going to fish up at Tamahi but the river was completly blown out at around 11 am when we drove by yesterday up until Allison Pool. After Allison Pool was packed out so we just kept driving until we found an open area where no 1 else was. When we came back to Peach later in the day the brown/silty water had already reached there and almost every one that was there before had left, I only saw 3 anglers that had stayed put.
