Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

Crucial when jigging to let the fish come up slowly, otherwise the pressure difference kills them, buggers there ballast? I use very light gear jigging. Nothing worse than a belly up release fish floating away from the boat

Shit Kiwi that's enough to stop one swimming in rivers!

Nah he does Gibo but just not by an eel. I hear tell he favours Bobby calves.

yea that brown is skinny,
I think browns spawn in the autumn, and rainbow's in the spring, might explain its condition, its also been a hot summer,

A small rainbow this arvo.

A good rain and the river flushed, headed upriver which was covered in weed. Landed 2 browns and released On the bank to safely and quickly remove treble hook Same spot 2 weeks ago

Whats your point?

Whilst I fully understand your convictions @kiwijames these a all wild trout and the catchment is quite plentiful, hence the all year round fishing, no size limit and yes treble hooks are allowed. In my opinion landing it on the bank removing hook and releasing them would be just as quick if not quicker then a net after a "posh" pose photo opportunity holding the fish. I often sit down the river and just count and watch fish, yesterday alone in a small pool 8 decent fish in 20 minutes.
Said fish swimming away no lung operation or snuff movie required.

So because they are wild does it mean you can abuse them or is it because they are plentiful? You're really missing the whole point.
