Cicada pattern only today.
3 small ones, then 3 1.5kg rainbows - all but 1 blind fished.
Then, to a pool that always seems to have some nice fish....spotted 3 and just about to cast then saw a whopper rainbow just 2 metres away under grass bank.....never cast, just dibbled my fly close to nose and immediate strike....5 lb rainbow.
Next cast to a fish behind a stone....swallowed the same cicada and my best brown for many years.
Next cast to far bank and another 4lb rainbow.
3 good fish in 3 casts...can't beat that so packed up and came home.

Been using a 4 wt double taper with a floating furled leader and extra mono. Makes casting so easy and turns over so well.

Specs on the furled leader mate? could be keen to give it a go down here while its still warm

Will get back on the furled leaders.
It's a tough life being retired....2 y/o grand daughter all day today, then next 5 days volunteering at Seddon Park for test match against S Africa.

These are the furled leader I bought.
