Jack was really keen so we went below the Aniwhenua Dam for a quick, evening fish. I caught a yellowfin yesterday and I am heading out again tomorrow. The whole river system is still a bit high and dirty. There were lots of fish stuck below the dam as is typical after big flows. Jack used a soft bait and caught three before I got one on a bead head grey bugger. Then I shot down to the stretch below and picked one up on a grey Wulff; it was literally the first fly that fell out of the box. Then I got one on a chartreuse glo bug. Then we left after about an hour of fishing. There are plenty of fish there folks, go get them.
