Thanks hcmiller,

Had a great holiday. My parents were in from Canada to see their newest grand-daughter for the first time. I was able to get a week off, so we spent the whole time (pretty much) in Rotorua. Only one day had fish come in to the river mouth, and I landed one 4lbs jack on a pheasant tail nymph before switching to the Bluenose Squirrel tail. I hooked up on a 2nd, but it busted me off. I had it tied on behind a Mickie Finn, and I may have had it tied on 3lbs tippet (which is too light for that area; 4lbs is not an exceptional fish for the Rotorua Lakes).
