Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

Trout count 11 for March only 4 from the Manawatu River since the cyclone.
Another Manawatu trout.

The rest were all down at Mangatainoka.

Another three on the Manawatu,heres two of them.

All released.

I am amazed that some of these little ones survived the force of the river when it was in flood.

Cracking pannies

Another wee salmon today.

Going off at a small tangent here
I picked up a wee Ryobi Superlight Magnesium 355 MG reel at a market this morning.
Fly fishing is not and will never be a thing for me, so if you know of anyone starting out on such a journey, let me know and I will get it to a worthy owner.
Please note: I think it could do with a little tlc but there really cant be much to go wrong with such a simple mechanism

Lake Dunstan on softbait this morning, probably around the 4 lb to 4.5 mark.
Nice colours and condition.

First real cracker since the cyclone. Caught on the far right jarvis walker red lure.

Heaps rising an hour before dark,I reckon the Manawatu fishery has done well.

I got loads of these sort of lures, do `t know what you call it but we call it under water tractor, slow retrieve, noise....

Another night mish in very windy conditions, the lake had quite a bit of chop but the fishing was still good
Hooked 9, landed 7 and kept these 2 beauties, 5.5lb hen n 6lb jack in great condition


Also got a huge brown just over 7lb but in very poor condition

They are a pair of beaut 'bows. That size they sure can fight too. I wonder what the snake would have weighted fat - would have to go over 10
