Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

Every couple of months I catch up with an old hunting mate and we head somewhere for a trout fish, the weekends are about exploring, cooking and sharing good food and a drink or two and hopefully catching a trout.



This weekend gone we headed into the King Country to explore a new to me river/creek and one that my mate has fished in the past but not all of it. We headed well upstream the first day and found a great few kms of small creek fishing, presenting flys to spotted fish we caught a couple each on both dry’s and nymphs.




The highlight of the trip for me was this one taking a well presented terrestrial dry fly, spotted in the pool in front sitting on the sand, he came over 5ft to take the dry, a great fight had him around rocks and under trees. Other highlights were spotting fish ahead and putting my mate onto a couple calling the strikes. Great fun sight fishing has to be for me the best form of flyfishing.
