Thread: Rotorua lakes

Okataina is pumping. My son and his mate got 17 on Wednesday and kept 7 av 6/7lbs.

@TeRei off a boat or shore based, it's a lovely lake, been a long time since I have fished Okataina


@Danny nice Brown Trout was that shore based? Just shifted back to Ohope so will definitely be in touch to get some tips and ideas for the local lakes, grew up in Pongakawa so spent my early childhood on the lakes.

Cheers FBD

Jigging off an IBC inflatable. Using Daiwa gear like Pat Swift and home made flies. 10M water. He brought some magnificent smoked trout down for Xmas. He is a fishhead. There is no doubt trout fed on koura equal the best Atlantic salmon. Apple wood mixed with smouldering chunks of kanuka. It is crazy nice.
