Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

Neat afternoon with the girl. Saw this one feeding under a willow on either emergers or duns (hard to tell).

Landed one small brown yesty and lost four gave the new reel a good work out.As the old reel has been worn out.

Today one of the lads made an articulated streamer.

I took it swimming with a bit of split shot to add a little bit more weight on the spinning rod.

I had several chase it and one hit but nothing landed on it.
On the way back I changed to the black fury and landed this solid rainbow hen.

Nice fish Dundee

I had to laugh while in Oz recently, caught some edible? fish in the Murray and the old boy reckons just leave it out for a day or two to 'set'...........oh yeah whatever mate i'll roll with it. First one got eaten by something overnight and only the head was left and the second one he gutted and cooked two days later. Tasted like arse.

Yum,yum more for the freezer

@EeeBees. Thanks for the access directions. Worked a charm.

Got blown away for the first time in a while. Not a big fish but strong and probably foul hooked.
Found some more decent sized fish that can wait for another day too. Wind was not in my favour at all. Nor was it for this Toebiter (Dobsonfly).

Got out last night for a night fish. Managed to hook eight browns in just over an hour yet I was only competent enough to actually get one in the net. Could have done with a net man, I wasn't on point that night. Plus it would have saved me a few flies too haha

Managed to land one yesty in the wind lost 5.
Tonight I trust my dog and cross the river if he gets wet nuts its over my gumboots.
Only saw one and followed the dog back across as the light was fading followed the dog and the barstard took me in the deep end.
Wet boots in the morning no trout but Jakeys pool would be a fly fishers dream. Trout jumping out at flys at 2115 it looked like a bubble bath..probably not big fish but heaps in the river.

I went fishing a bit earlier tonight as the Ruahine Ranges were getting some rain.

Told the Mrs I won't be gone for three hours left at 1800 and back after 2100hrs
Landed a brown trout

Bolt checked the lures to use.

This big deep hole is where I caught my trophy trout but it is a mission to land one in quick sand

I had hooked two and landed one keeper on the brown lure

Fished my way back using a black fury witch is my favourite lure as it was the one that landed my personal best trout.
And I had action

Landed the bugger

3hours and two nice trout same water was coverered last night and zilch last night.

Bloody good on ya Dundee. And yes, 1800 to 2100 is three hours if you put that up to have us check your math.

I wanted to get to the pool by the willow tree just under the Ruahine Ranges

Started heading there still had a way to go when the bloody shearer pulled out of a job.

Few texts later might have it sorted.
Headed back early to get hold of a sheep shearer.
Got some action on the way back.

Nah i didn't get home early I was late again
Was a beauty anyway nice rainbow jack trout

Caught on a black fury lure
