Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how's it going?

Sounds like fun! What do trout fishing lessons look like?

When I was younger we would go trout fishing on a charter boat, the captain would put lures on downriggers, we'd chill out until there was one on the line, then pull it in. In hindsight this feel a bit like the UK's pheasant shooting where you stand with a gun and wait for people to bring the birds to you 😆

I'm guessing the trout fishing lessons are more along the lines of fishing in a river?

More like young kids standing with a adult around a man made pool haha getting taught how to swing the rod back and forth and basically waiting for a bite from one of the 4000 adolescent fish in the pool. Then slowly reeling them in and netting them.

Ah yes, I seem to remember doing that 30 years ago at a prawn farm in Taupo.
