    Sweet mate, will do. Never fished out there as I tend to keep to the Ngo with it been on my back door, hopefully the weather stays decent and doesnt muddy it up too much. Ill get in touch with you Sunday sometime if I get a chance to go out

    Managed to get on to this one Monday night, my guess would be somewhere around the 7 pound mark. Let it go to go and spawn

    Been a while since I landed a decent one so I thought a blue toby might be the go as the veltics haven't had much luck lately.

    Looks to be a good fish Dundee.

    What months is the season open for a licence ?
    I might get around to trying to catch a trout "properly" some time soon but it will likely be a bloody expensive fish if I get one so want to start at the start of the season if you get my drift.

    Good evening all.
    Had a chance to have a flick in the river this arvo. Lost a rainbow on a black and gold toby that put up a good fight and spat the lure about 2metres from landing the bugger.
    Changed the lure to a 10gm blue toby for extra weight from fishing from a high bank and landed this wee fella.

    Went back down after work and used a black rublix and landed this brown.

    Well done
    I may be retarded but that just means you cant discriminate against me.

    Is that a Trout or Salmon and how does one tell the difference?

    It is a rainbow, though salmon can look similar when also in spawning colours.

    It's not a canal trout, it was caught in a lake within an hours drive of Christchurch.

    Taupo's been good for the last month or so with plenty of freshies coming through for the eastern side of the lake but if it sticks to the weather forecast (which is poo's) I'd be looking at getting early evening to the Pipe on Rotoiti or off the beach at Okataina (far left as you can go if there is a slight wind as the food gets corralled in the corners off the beach and the fish come in and prowl the weed line. Moon state is still pretty good so well worth a look.

    Failing that lake Rotoma in the corner just where the State Highway goes up the hill out to Kawerau / Whaka is worth a shot during the day as the returning trout spawning area there is close to where they were dropped in by Fish and game - small doll fly or heave and leave a floating glow bug...

    Hope it helps...CD
