There is reasonable sized tributary I have often hunted here in the Hawkes Bay. I alway see fish in it and have often thought to myself I should make the effort to give it a go with the fly rod. This Monday I walked in and pitched the tent. The main river was terrible, with a chocolate milk colour so I hoped my little stretch was OK.
Fortunately it was crystal. The day started off not so well with the first back cast ending in the manuka and a lost fly. Second cast though, and we were in. The day pretty much went to plan all afternoon with a bunch of good fish caught and put back to fight another day.
Decent fish all day. Hard to take photos though, especially on my phone (camera was flat).

The whole Hawkes Bay certainly got smashed after the 2015 winter snow.

Made for hard going between runs with a 9’ fly rod [emoji30]
caught just the one this morning, the pigs wouldn't even eat it.
Four rainbow this morning with the family off the Pohangina river.
Picked up a quick double this evening. Both hens. Both around 1.6kg or 3.5lbs in old money.

I have caught some good ones in the Manawatu River lately but can't upload photos on my computer,don't use phone on the net.:XD:
Was talking to a local fisho here that does well for himself that said he has seen more trout in the lower hoki than ever. Says he seen a searun chasing herring that was the biggest trout he has ever seen. I suspect it was a salmon as they are getting caught as by catch of hoki now. He has also caught plenty of double figure trout so it has to have been big.Quote:

That's not saying much @Dundee. She's a good looking girl and I'm an ugly bastard. Takes after her mother.Quote:

Gotta couple. Blowing a lot but still high 20'sQuote:

I may have fudged it if the person wasn't specifically a fly fisherman.
We have had a lot of enquirys lately for fishing and have no local guides. They have all retired or moved on.
If l liked trout fishing I would dust off the fly rod and get current.
