My egg setup for the canals (Tekapo/Twizel)

This is a more in-depth look at my egg setup, from my braid line to sinker line. The knots and everything I use are what I am comfortable with tying and have a good idea of how much pressure I can put on a fish during the fight. This is only a guide and if your more comfortable tying other knots stick with what you know. The basic setup will still be the same.

Went up to the canals in Twizel and Tekapo did some egg rolling for the first time this year managed to hook a nice small rainbow.

Trying out a new combo Shimano Zodias concept 7ft 2-5lb Ultra Light paired with a Stradic Ci4 2500. It's a pretty fun set up to try the fish put up a good fight on the Light rod.

Had a crack at some night fishing in the Southland region, with mouse lure it was all most pitch black and still 20 degrees at midnight. Its an awesome way to fish. all you have to rely on is feel of the strike or the hits before the take... The first two fish I hooked broke me off straight away, was a bit disappointing but also thrilling at the same time. Gear I used - Rod - Okuma Nanomatrix C...
