My rod has been broken for a while missing the last two eyelets and Saturday night my reel gave up.Its certainly gets a work out.
Attachment 83031
Sunday I borrowed one of my boys rods but the reel was stuffed also but was a nice evening down there with the wife.
Attachment 83032
Today I purchased a 4 piece Shimano spinning rod and on my first cast this evening landed this rainbow.

Third trip to the Canals and nothing but poxy trout so far, I have never caught a Salmon and it's the wife's favorite eating fish so I had the excuse to keep going back.
Water colour very cloudy and different canals flowing at different rates.
I have ALOT to learn yet and it's not easy going at times when nothing is happening. Anyway I got my first Salmon yesterday, not huge but a good eater.
They fight well for their size, stubborn like a brown but with heaps more go and stamina.
More trip needed.Attachment 83544
Been a few days since i landed a trout but haven't stopped eating them,still a few trays of trout fillets in the freezer.
Tonight I fished the same area for an hour 100metres up and down stream and just on dark landed this hen full off eggs.

Got one last weekend, kinda feel like im cheating fishing in the canals but still a trout! off getting cold smoked should almost be ready mmmmmm
Attachment 83796
Yeah I used to think fishing in the canals would be like shooting fish in a barrel ( excuse the pun on a hunting forum ) . However after 3 - 4 trips there I know it's certainly not.Quote:

The problem with the canals is they are so featureless being man made. It's not like you can look up the river and see a boulder or log that might hold a fish, the canals just go on forever and look the same.
I have yet to experience it when it's firing.
Nice fish @silentscope
They certaibly have their moments but i usually try something for half an hour and if no luck ill switch methods and keep doing that till something takes. Got that one on a egg glowbug under the tekapo farm nets i was the only one that got something that afternoon of about 20 fishermen i saw.
Caught a good trout tonight left the house at 1910hrs and headed home just after 2000hrs.The eels are hungry after the march floods.
