Retired my old spinning rod as the eyelets were cutting the nylon. Got a free rod from the Daiwa rep a year ago with a broken tip and got it fixed for $12 can't complain about that. Had a few flicks after work,nothing landed but nice rod to use.:)Sighted two trout.
It has been a while between trout for you Dundee.
And I'm still waiting Rushy:ORLY:
Headed down to river tonight after work.

Stopped off at the canals on the way home
The other day and had some success.
Plenty small salmon too
What's their main source of food in the canals?

Not sure but bit of everything I'd say.
Salmon pellets sometimes obviously but plenty of insect
Life for trout. Seen em rising good on green beetles
In the season and seen em grazing snails off weed beds too
Lots bully's. And some big buggers get fooled on
Size 16 pts and the like by those with delicate hands.
I'm not aware of any freshwater prawns in the system but
It doesn't stop them eating the Pam's ones.
Always wanted to have a crack at those canal fish - definately on my bucket list!:cool:
One day soon i hope:)
Bought a new fly line today and figured I'd take the afternoon off and take my eldest daughter for a fish.
First cast and bam! Fish on. Primo. Tried a bit more to get one for the girl but only dropped another tiddler. She was real keen which was cool so it's a fishing rod for Christmas.
Local rivers are showing a bit of colour still (last of the snow) but are clearing, just needing the wind to drop a bit now.
Was in the Oamaru over the weekend, was super busy with hunters everywhere so I didn't do as much hunting as normal but did a lot more fishing which more than made up for it. Ended up with 17 to the bank, all very nice fish. A great weekends fishing.

Fish were a bit skinny post spawn I guess.
Last of the snow melt still has a faint touch of colour in the water. Looking forward to some balmy summer days on the river.
Love your posts Dundee - you are a generous man with information and always entertaining
I see in one of your posts that you fish a fly, spin and bait river - so I am guessing you are on the upper Manawatu
I started fishing the Manawatu round Palmy when I was about 12 - a friend that got me started was into bait fishing - worms and shrimps
Trouble with worms was the eels - so shrimp was best and very effective - much more productive than spinning -but sometimes a bit boring stuck in one place
We used to catch the shrimps in the grass or weeds on the edge of the river - using a small net with a one of Mums stockings
Put them in a baked bean tin and light a little fire with some twigs - wait until they turn a pink/red colour - thread them on a small hook a bit like we do with soft bait lures
Two hooks and a light sinker - out in the river and just pull them in ;)
Has anyone tried a shrimp
Not that I am suggesting anyone try the Manawatu River round Palmy - these days
Yes Upper Manawatu river. When you say shrimps do you mean fresh water crays like these?

The little things they crawl in my whitebait net all the time pain in the ass
They are like a tiny prawn dundee
