Went to check out the damage after the big flood and found my favourite pool longer exists. After a bit of exploring I found a little pocket that looked like it might hold some fish and managed to hook 5.
Of the 3 I landed 2 were long, skinny and quickly released and the other was a nice conditioned 3.5lb jack that I kept.

Then it was off for a night fish where I managed to pick up another 3.5lb jack

Maybe you will need to sharpen your hooks, and get better setting hooks next time. Help this could help a little.Quote:

Nice coloured hen from Tongariro last weekend.

Had a good few hours chilling on the Tongariro. Still plenty of fish in the river with a nice mix of freshies and post spawners to put a bend in the rod.
Hooked 11 and landed 7.

Some of you catch a lot of trout. What's your preferred method of preparation and cooking? I asked a while back, but it would be good to update.
I fillet and pan fry in butter about 95% . Smoke a few occassionally.Quote:

I ate trout in raw once, Sashimi dish, quiet nice actually. But, considering parasites....may will never do that again, but maybe will try one more time for a nice trout from a crystal clear river in high country.
