Manawatu river is open all year except above a bridge about 13ks upstream from me.

Went out for a quick fish after lunch. Turned out to be very quick. 2 Salmon (bag limit) in 3 casts.

Finally got one in May. Been chasing ducks and roaming the hills between work so haven't done much at the river this month.

57th trout I've landed on the Manawatu River this year.
Battered trout.

This one chomped on a pink mepps.

Yum.

Quick flick with #no.3 black fury

At the river waiting for ducks,multi tasking.

Anyone got any tips for trolling Lake Dunstan? The fish there don't seem to like anything I offer.

We just ate the last of our trout gravad lax in bagels with cream cheese. Damn, it was good despite being in the freezer for a year! Fires me up to go trout fishing again.

Caught this today on the old school "Toby" lure ...yellow ,green with a flash of orange.

Had a great day fishing at Kai Iwi Lakes, landing three fat healthy trout. In their wisdom, Kaipara District Council have refused to allow Fish & Game to continue stocking the lakes. Since the trout cannot breed in this location, this is the end of trout fishing in the lakes and that effectively means the end of trout fishing in the whole of Northland. Trout have co-existed with indigenous species since they were first stocked in 1968, so I cannot understand the logic behind this decision.

That's a bloody shame. Nice fish.
