Busy day with classes at UM in Missoula beginning. We're also off to the Lake Taupo area later in the afternoon for a multi-day trip with some friends. Work at the "Uni" was completed around 2pm. Quckly finished errands and was ready to fish by 2:45. We planned to leave for Taupo prior to 4:30 leaving plenty of time for an urban fishing excursion (45 minutes?).
At the end of Ruahine Avenue sits a small park with a great trail that I bike daily. It's a five minute drive from our flat at 160 Ruahine. Here sits several productive fishing runs. After making the short walk with my nymphing setup, I was pleased to see a great hatch of mayflies (March Brown looking) with fish feeding on the surface. With the tight timeline, today there was no opportunity to go back and retrieve another fly box, but the river smiled anyways yielding a couple of small fish. Conditions permitting, I'll return to this place next week to throw some dry flies.
