Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

And then I go and pick this stonker up night fishing....8.5lb Brown

With the Desert Rd closing for 2 months, me and the mate shot up for a night mish. Wasnt a heap of action but the quality certainly made up for it
A couple 8lb Browns for the pan

Lake Dunstan Brownie

The Mrs and I got a tandom today within a minute of casting the lures.

Then got another one later.

The Manawatu river is full of trout.Saturday on Silver vibrax before losing it when a trout snapped my nylon.


Sunday on a Silver panther Martin.

Another fat hen from the Manawatu.

First trout in 32 years

The weekend I got a few.



20 this year on the spinner.

Just getting started into trout fishing, at the moment collecting all the gear I need. I picked up these spin lures but I want replace the treble hooks with singles after losing a lure while practicing my casting down at the local creek while fishing for carp. Does anyone know how to get the treble off without cutting the eye? I'd like to keep the hook.

Cut two of the treble off

Thought of that but I have other uses for the trebles

Lost a good one, busted my nylon 5 minutes later landed this fat hen.

Went and had a look at Hakanoa lake in Huntly after work, no luck, can't see why any fish would live in that rust coloured water, maybe koi? Tried lake Puketirini last sunday but too many people swimming, jet skiing and boating

Nice 4lb jack night fishing


Plate of fillets for me and a bowl of titbits for the Hungarian furball

Best brown to date in my recent year of fly fishing, was all the better after bush bashing into new stream
