This morning effort, nice little Brown, black and gold softbait. Released.
Great afternoon swinging wooly buggers, hooked 9, landed 5....released 2 beauties around the 6lb mark and kept 3 ranging from 3 - 4.5lbs:cool:
Had the pleasure of sharing the pool with an older Ozzy gentlemen out on a fishing holiday, I tried for an hour but just couldnt get him onto a fish:angry: dont think I'd make a very good guide:(

HB rivers are pretty much stuffed for the short term. I went with a few mates to Taupo for a golf and tennis weekend and decided to take a rod. Fished the Hinemaiaia last Sunday. Very cold but primo day. Plenty of fish, clear and low river. Spawning fish in great nick. Mildly hung over. No shortage of other anglers. Caught a couple and went home. I think I'll be spending a bit more time in the region till or rivers come right.

A few hours chilling swinging flies, hooked 6, landed 3....kept a nice 5.5lb jack.
Still not huge numbers but the quality of the ones coming through is pleasing.

Rainbow from Lake Dunstan, again softbaiting with black and gold paddle tail which work very well in the lake.
Actually kept this one and given to elderly neighbours for their dinner.
Just a couple of fish there [emoji3]Quote:

Bo checking it out on the way in.

Not a bad one.
Attachment 233010
Then a small one.

Hey all the pros...Do you think #12 fly hook can catch a legal size trout? The biggest hook I can buy from here is #10, but I do `t like it. The fish is about 25cm I landed recently, a stream fighter using #12. Thank you, I am going to fishing my shopping list and go "home".
Attachment 233234
Easy. I'm often using size 14 in Taupo rivers and mouths during spawning runs. No problems for fish 6lb+. And plenty big fish get landed on 16/18 dries which are finer wire.
