Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

One yesty,heading out soon.

And just to show how polaroids work in tuff conditions,this trout was spotted thru the glasses and the next pic, same spot trout was still there but no polaroids.

Caught this massive rainbow on the Manawatu River.

Another cracker today in the scorching heat.

A guy sent me these homemade softbaits to try in the Manawatu River.

I put the big one on yesty and this rainbow smashed it!

@Dundee you're getting some nice fish at the moment...good stuff

Caught this one last night half hour before sunset on a white soft bait.

It was all on with the labrador in the way,man it took some stopping!

i
Nice wee brown to blood the new rod and reel.

Caught this manawatu rugby ball of a trout the other day.

Fish n Game just put a report out on a tagged canel fish being caught twice 7 months apart nearly doubled its weight 3.5 lbs to nearly 8lbs and grew 148mm longer.Must be good tucker dropping thru those salmon farm nets.

Couple of ripper rainbows from the last month or so.

Beautiful fish and streams!!

I can't handle a fly rod anymore and have to drag hardware behind boats now.

These cutthroats were caught at Pyramid Lake NV and range from 8 pounds to 14. There is a slot limit at the lake. Keepers are from 17" to 20", then fish over 20" to 24" must be returned unharmed for spawning. The slot goes Keep two from 17-20 or one from 17-20 and one over 24".

The 17"-19" fish are good eating. I like to bake or poach them. The big ones are best smoked, but finding ZigZag papers big enough is a problem.

Great trout and great photos. Shame we didn't have Cutthroats introduced here. We did have Mackinaw introduced but unfortunately the truck taking them to a selected lake crapped out and the young fish were released into a shallow lake by the roadside. Lake Pearson in Canterbury. They seem to be extinct there now but were caught for many years in small numbers and never attained the size of their progenitors

Picked up these 2 night fishing a Taupo stream mouth with a mate.
Was cool standing there in the darkness listening to roaring stags

This is my 53rd trout landed for 2021 on spinning gear.

@Dundee can you fish through the winter or do all your local streams close?
