Hard going on the Tongariro yesterday. Being low and clear there wasnt much action but I was rewarded with a nice 6lb silver bullet.

About 10 past 6 it just kicked off, was the most epic session I've ever had...hooking well over 20 and losing count of numbers landed. All fish were in superb condition around 4-6lbs and full of fight:cool:

Though we did not catch any trout but son was pretty keen on going fishing. Took him out to Manawatu as it's just a 10mn walk from home. He was chuffed as but I was too afraid to be there without a freshwater fishing license. It's sunny here today and he is going to pester me again for taking hm fishing so need to sort out the license asap. Another thing I don't want him to get discouraged coz of not catching anything so anyone familiar with this area please suggest where we ill have high chances of catching anything. Size species doesn't matter. We were using Mepps spinners for lures.

Take yr son out within near casting distance of those willows in the last photo.Trout like the cover of trees with insects dropping of them.Small black and green hex 12gram there abouts.Fish the last hour of day light.
All the rainbows hanging around for drifting eggs from browns spawning.Quote:
