About LinkBacksYeah 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.Originally Posted by silentscope
I was there last Friday and it was bloody hard work, I got a fish or two but saw nothing else caught.
Everyone I spoke to was getting no results.
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.

Tried some new water earlier last week still using the "joe fly" from the states.
Tonight I got a message from an Aussie company to trial their lures
