Guided Jeff, Jim, and Chris from Auckland today R4B8F28Green/14fbpt. The guys hooked 11 and landed 4 including 1st ever browns for Chris and Jim. Jim also lost one good brown estimated at around 7 pounds. Broke my Sage SLT for the 3rd time since last October – but still had an enjoyable day guiding in great weather.
Tongariro Report
Barometer: Risen slightly since yesterday and pretty high
Cloud/Wind/: Blue sky all day and a little nor wester wind at on the river later in the day
Water Temperature: Pretty bloody cold if you ask Jim who tripped playing a fish at the end of the day and got some down his waders
River Conditions: Clear
Recommended Flies: Sawyers pheasant tail and black bead hair and coppers – gold beads also working of course – but I noticed a lot of Hydrosyche Colinica on a stick the other day (olive free swimming net building caddis I think)
