Waders?
Yeah I crossed last night but leggings were over my boots.Would of got wet without them they prevented water going in my boots.
@Danny. Are you around this weekend? Was going to fish the Waiteti Saturday (tomorrow) morning if you're about. I'm thinking it should start to fish OK by now at the mouth.
Unfortunately I'm out Kaingaroa pig hunting. Rain check. Very keen for a fish and catch up[emoji106]Quote:

Some good solid fish there bomber. The first pic the trout has the lure the wrong way round.:D
The weather has been good down South over the past week. Fishing on the Waiau River 7pm - 9pm (in the dark).
Hooked into 7+ fish on Wednesday - landed 4, tossed one brown back to live another day, lost 3+ rainbow after they jumped and spit the fly
Hooked into 10+ fish on Friday - landed 4, lost 6+, nabbed an eel with knife while cleaning trout
Major rise going on from 7pm to 9pm - had fish at my feet when I turned on my head lamp !

Nice. Do you leave the fly in there lip while you gut em so they don't get away?:D:thumbsup:
That is a big fly is it an articullated streamer @KiwiinSeattle .I have a mate in Christchurch that ties them.:)

Good question - and YES - I was standing in the bush with waders on so there was no way that I was going to remove the fly until I had the fish under control (dead).
streamer?Quote:

Here is a photo of 4 different flies that I used over two hours (7pm - 9pm) on the same night - and landed a fish with each.
The small black dry is a Black Gnat - looks like a Twilight Beauty - but is black - obviously.
I stocked up on some fishing gear before I moved back to NZ.

Followed by an epic evening rise of mayflies. My dry fly fishing needs some work. Pricked a few tiddlers but nothing connected.
Kiwijames can you please not remove the fish your letting go from the water.

Nah it'll be fine mate. Actually I think I made it healthier with a gravel bath cause the cheeky bugger not only swam off sweet as, it even started showing off by doing tricks like swimming upside down when I let it go!Quote:

Hooked one today and the bugger got off.Wouldn't of been a keeper as only 2lb maybe:thumbsup:
Where is your f..k.. net? Don't you need one in your waters bro? We give our trout a good stamp if they are naughty and land on the bank before they are released.:PQuote:
