River needs a major flush,slower waters are full of green algae.

The normal water line would be at the willow weed

Finally! After 10 or so trips of seeing fish, hooking up but not landing... I landed my first river trout on the first bloody cast of the day!
Small Rainbow on a Veltic from the Rangitikei river! Absolutely stoked!!

I had to go too the local sports shop today to replace some lost lures. All have been lost with good chunky trout in the same pool. Landed one tonight and lost another,no sign of the jewelry that they have eaten. Landed one tonight,lost one but still kept the lure. Landed 5 yesty and the last bastard took the jewelry.
It has been mentioned P38 but the fight on a little 6lb nylon spinner rod is worth loosing a bit of kit.
These were the modified lures,I cut the trebles off so if a release was required less impact on the trout.

Also cut off the ring at the tip of the lures.
Results tonight.

You could have just swapped the treble with a normal hook.........:yaeh am not durnk: that's the whole point of the split ring :P
There were single hooks in the package but nothing like a bit of butchery,two more landed tonight. River is getting a mess,choking up with layers of weed.If we don't get a decent flush soon Jaycobs pool will be out.
