Thread: Older newbie needing direction

Pretty much canals at this time of year is your only chance of salmon. Wait till September have a go at some searun trout for a couple of months around the motorway bridges at the waimak. Then when the weather warms up smash some kahawai down the mouth on light trout gear. Then January, February and March try for a salmon. But be careful kahawai is really addictive when they are there so u might not want to try for a salmon.

This stage probably safer if I use this time to learn how to cast in straight lines as I’ve seen the photos of the river mouth and I know I’m going to piss people of with some wayward casts! Will also work out places to go fish, but I’ve some leave that I have to use so I may just well go on a wee adventure and visit these canals I’ve heard so much about!!
