We have 3 rivers here guys, Waitawheta,Waitekuari & Ohinemuri all hold good numbers of trout & no bugger fishing really .
That is great, Chris....browns and rainbow? We are at least another four or so days off having reasonably mannered rivers here...can't stop thinking about your FOUR KILOS of sawdust :P:D
Have probably 95% Rainbows but a mix of wild & released fish. F&G put some fish into the river couple of years ago ,some of the trout are very orange & more the color of salmon.
The 4 kg sawdust is 2 kg of each Manuka & Pohutukawa ,that's a 12 month supply.
Drove 172km looking for clean fresh waters in the last two days and sighted 1 trout in the Mangatoro:pissed off:
That sort of K's you could of gone out the coast for a surf cast
Yep did some ks
Finaly got cleaner waters and caught my first trout using a galloups monkey streamer.

well, after two gloriously fine days, the local stream and the Ngaruroro and the Tutaekuri look a lot tidier...however, as I write it is TEEMING again:oh noes:
A nice solid rainbow this morning caught using the old black & gold zebra toby.

Good stuff there Dundee ,,,flash looking beanie!!:thumbsup:
Had to give the new rod a work out this morning ,a few small fish released but got 3 round the 1kg.
The graphite rod might be worth the money ,was quite worried when I saw how thin it was but works fine.
I must be having a trout drought:( Drove for a while down stream from our main fishing hole the Mrs hooked one and lost it and I got a few bites but nothing landed.Saw a nice fat rainbow but only hit the monkey and no more takes.Tonight in the usual water hole plenty rising hit two and landed zilch.Bring on tommorrow!
Got 4 today all tiddlers.Spoke to another fisher that politely spoke too us and his son got a 3.5lb brown upstream.
Mrs D also got 2 sardines.:(
And another angler rang tonight and got 4 @ 2.8lb/3.5lb/1.8lb/and 1.2lb
Theres plenty of water and plenty of trout..........most of it is luck!
Another small one today lightning toby did the deed saw some good trout and had some good chases.5th of may the trout will be left in peace:P

Look out he is into it again:thumbsup:
Now that'll make a nice change from rabbit and hare.
A brownie ,nice smoked those .
Went for a cruise out to the quarry near Oringi the fisherman access track has been washed out and drops right into the river.,if someone goes hooning down there at night they'll get a hell of a shock.
Anyway I went further downstream and landed this rainbow.:D

Well that's dinner sorted!
Nice one Dundee. I'm going to put the effort in this summer to get out and try catch some trout.
Smoked rainbow is delicious.
Anyone read NZTout magazine ? What do you think of it
Nup. Seeing all these pics of fish makes me think some cunt(baldbob probably) has to teach me how to catch a trout.
Yes bloody good read!! And the article by Andrew Hearne is well written. I had the privalage of taking Andrew and Badger (the Riverworks team) bloody top men too our local River last year.Quote:

Far out, I should have done like Cam said and sell my first stag story!! $170 would go nicely in my "Dougie's Tikka T3 fund"! :D Maybe I need to take a leaf out of PossumTrapper's book!!Quote:
