Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

Nice 4lb jack night fishing


Plate of fillets for me and a bowl of titbits for the Hungarian furball

Best brown to date in my recent year of fly fishing, was all the better after bush bashing into new stream

Cut the two extra hooks off this mepps. Getting hit after hit with this lure.

Lost a few,then landed this.

Had no luck. Have been going to Horotiu bridge after work almost every night after work for the past two weeks, theres trout there but getting no bites only baby trout following my lures. I will admit I'm a novice at trout fishing, using different lures, baits and softbaits and using all the different techniques I see n youtube but no joy. Must be something I'm doing wrong, the trout there are fussy eaters or the water conditions there aren't right and I need to move somewhere else? There's koi in those waters but they won't take the corn baited hooks I throw out. I've only caught rudd there without even targeting them.

A rare Whangarei trout, or should I say freshwater sprat!

Reel and braid are JDM, 3lb braid not available in NZ. Ultralight rod is AliExpress, seems to work. 1.4g jighead.

Thought i was going blank today.

Then got a keeper!
