Those I hooked were the most acrobatic I have ever experienced with the three lost all throwing the hook mid air. Fishing with nearly no barb makes it hard to control. These fish were not huge at around 2kg estiamted but looked in good nick.
Sounds like you have the release technique sorted mate ;)Quote:

The son came home to help with a dive job yesterday. Went out a 6.15am and came back in at 8.15am. Caught 8 released 1 and lost 3. The 3 I lost, because I was trying to lip grab them rather than netting them. Good fish and a couple of times we had double strikes, hot fishing.
Landed and released 6 hooked a few more..http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0ba388fdba.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...254176249a.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...1b40fd5e44.jpg

If you guys that fish the upper Manawatu had to use just one spinny thing, what would it be? Rainbows and browns.
I don't fish there but I'm gonna say Black and Gold Toby, if you can't catch trout anywhere in NZ on one of them you're doing something wrong.
PS: I can't catch trout on a black and gold toby.. :)

Ta. I'm just getting back into it. Used to fish Oringi quite a bit. With the Hutt river close to me now I thought I might as well give it a crack.Quote:

I quite like the action of it on that youtube video. I might have to find some top have a go.Quote:

@kiwijames I've got a couple spinsects in the lure box. Landed a couple with them, hence used a Mepps Thunderbug as river up and a lot wider casts a bit further to the clear edges on opposite banks.
Some evenings change a few lures, most success here black fury then a red veltic.
Must get up to Hunting/fishing Napier again they have an awesome lure selection🖒

@Tahr blackfury is one of my favourites. There is a guy called Andrew Harding that fishes the Hutt river and has put some vids on you tube. Is utube channel name is troutboynz.
@Dundee, do you think those holes are from a spear or possibly a shag?Quote:

I'm off to the river now I hope the Tsunami doesn't hit:D

Good luck with the fishing.

He's a proper fisherman though and doesn't chuck metal at trout.Quote:
