Kina chameleon


Finally, a fishing post that loosely references Boy George. And no surprises that it's a fly fishing post, for surely these are most delicate, passionate, creative artistes of the fishing fraternity. Downing my pilchards for a minute, I chucked a smashed kina in and left it for a few moments, using the time pull my beanie so far down that it impaired my vision. Then, I pitched in the fly, and whammo, this 44cm fish was on it like a professional cyclist on a performance enhancing drug. Fly fishing is a pretty damn productive way to catch these fish, but it leaves you worryingly stench free at the end of the day, so you should always take some pilchards to rub about your person at the end of a session. Otherwise, your wife might suspect you haven't been fishing at all: she'll assume you're doing something awful like playing golf or learning bikram.
