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.

Cruised up to hit the Tongariro after the fresh. Unfortunately even though the flow had dropped, she was still pretty dirty. I wet lined for a bit but nothing was happening so pulled pin and headed to a small stream mouth for a flick.
Only there 10 minutes and this cracker grabbed my fly:)
Thick as, big Brown jack just under 8lbs:cool:

Been a while since I chased any trout, stopped to stretch our legs on the way home from up north and managed to trick this one.
Kids are handy for making a small fish look bigger haha!
