Arrived Friday avo , so after setting up camp I snuck away on foot starting at the mouth and working upstream , across the main road and up to the area by the horse show jumping paddocks. No fish as mainly walking and looking . Water was coloured slightly.

Mid morning Sat , got dropped off at paradise valley access and went for a walk. If any has left behind a SM size guide shirt it should still be hanging up on a bush stream side by the way. Spotted several fish but man were they spooky , water a little clearer. They just seemed to know where to look , from 2oft above and behind them I still spooked a couple . The fish I saw were hanging out in very hard to cast to spots , definitely have to roll cast here. Was a frustrating morning to be honest. Ran into local guide Mr Hammill , friendly gent who gave us a few tips . So after collecting all my toys and putting them in back in the cot away I went . About 20min before pick up time I landed rainbow at 4 lb.

Sunday avo , 2 hours for 2 more fish in the same location. River running more clear. First fish another 4lber with the next nudging 5 lb. Lost another which felt bigger to the blackberries
