Moon state is still pretty good so well worth a look.

    Failing that lake Rotoma in the corner just where the State Highway goes up the hill out to Kawerau / Whaka is worth a shot during the day as the returning trout spawning area there is close to where they were dropped in by Fish and game - small doll fly or heave and leave a floating glow bug...

    Hope it helps...CD
    Heave and leavers should keep traveling on to Whakatane and go snapper fishing instead. What a disgraceful way to mock the sport of gentlemen.

    Man I've spent some hours down there. Most of them in sand shoes and shorts before I could afford waders. The main current was bloody cold

    Took my 10yr old boy in there even mid-summer with his hoha wader rig. We caught him two but he was nearly hypothermic within twenty minutes

    Got out in the ngo this morning for an hour or so. There were a few rainbows around albeit small ones. Landed one and dropped another but was good to get out there again

    Took my eldest out tonight. Blowing a gale so spinning gear only. She just had her 8th birthday and has been wanting her own rod for a while.
    Dropped her first tonight at the bank. Shame as it was not a bad fish.

    Yes. I think she will insist to be my fishing buddy from now on.

    Checked the river this morning from the top of the bank near the run off and it looked murky blue.
    Got down there tonight for a fish and we have had no rain just severe gales so I'm picking there must of been a blockage upstream at some stage.
    There has been a wave of water down here by the looks but its clean again now.

    Anyway fished downstream one way with a black and gold toby one bite nothing landed.
    Name: picture 6825.jpg Views: 184 Size: 165.2 KB
    Changed the toby to a brown striped one for the fishing on the way back only 300 metres of water to cover at this location.
    Another hit but never landed it and rain was threatening but it didn't eventuate.

    Got to the end of the river that was fishable as I had fished down then came back up and stopped here to put the Taihape Terror on.
    Name: picture 6830.jpg Views: 151 Size: 163.7 KB
    There was a fish breaking the surface about 3 metres away in ankle (waist deep for me) deep water.
    Anyway I cast the Taihape terror about half a metre behind where it was feeding and instant strike.
    Quick battle and I landed it.
