Beautiful Spring weather in Turangi today and pleasantly warm once the sun chased away the early morning chill.

I didn't get to the river until 10.00 am and with no cars parked in Koura street decided to head to Judges. Walking down the track I was surprised how few anglers there were ... just one in the Breakfast pool.

Even my favourite town pool was empty and I didn't see a sole the whole time I was there.

Anglers may have been thin on the ground but the fish certainly weren't.

The Tongariro is firing at the moment and I had a great day moving up and down the pool chopping and changing methods.

All the fish pictured came on the czech nymph. But I also caught fish on the indicator and under the dry. And things didn't really slow down until I finally moved on later in the afternoon.

So with the holiday weekend coming up things are looking good. See you out there.

Gidday Mike…. Just thought I would say gidday.



Just read your report and I was also in Turangi yesterday and had an absolute ball on the Cicada and Stag. Was planning on moving around but was into so many fish there was no need….



In the afternoon I intended to walk to the Major Jones but noted the Troll hole was empty so thought I would have a quick flick … well ... got several beauties out of there and never made it to the Judges!!!



Certainly plenty of great fish around- look forward to bumping into you on the river some day!!!



Regards,
