Lovely day to be on the river today for some late Cicada action.... just 25 minutes from downtown Wellington... beats work'n!

I'd love to say the first clip has a romantic filter applied but it's the GoPro fogging sorry. Very nearly added a duck to the day's tally of 5 fish as you can see half way through, you can see it chase the Cicada!

Nice work again Andrew, it prom0ted me to take along a rod when I took the kids for a swim today... a few lazy casts and slurp, cicada time.. good to see they are still looking up... not a subtle take, swallowed the fly deep.

Good work mate, great to see the kids involved, Coincidentally I got a couple in that run last week when stopped for 30 mins on way to a mtg in Wairarapa, one bout 2-3lb like that and a chunky 5lber in the head. There are some really nice conditioned fish round the Hutt at present, the hens are really ready to spawn any day. Can't decide to hit the salt or fresh tomorrow - what a dilemma!

Thanks Mike, Matt heading out in the boat, 5am start, the lure of some Snapper and 5 knot variables is too good to miss! Let me know how you go if you get out.
