    nah but did fillet the 5 Mrs n I caught trolling in what is left of the lake yesterday....getting very low as of late,its at mongrel level for duck shooting,but feeding the ducks gives good excuse to troll a tassie for an hour or two.

    Today no bites and hurried home for a heavier lure to cast and landed two with the 7mm08 spinning lure when I got back to the river.

    The local creek has been pretty ordinary over Summer but Autumn has had a decent change with good numbers of great condition fish. 8 fish this arvo with a couple self releasing including one large jack I’m picking at 3.5+kg.
    Most fish around 2kg mark and super fit. Tennis elbow and fly fishing are not a nice combo.

    I'm going trout fishing tomorrow. Not often you'll here a Northlander say that. Now I've said it, I have to go and put some effort in to catching a mud fish. I'll report back.

    Mission accomplished. Three Northland trout, ranging from about 1.5 to 2.5lb. I hope they make good snapper bait.










    That was a joke about snapper bait.

    There's probably more trout in the north than most people realise, however, they're often muddy-tasting due to the environment. Good fun for C&R if that's your thing.

    I don't have any fly fishing gear at all.

    So not even a spicy rub or something like bbq sauce would help? Catch and release isn't really my cup of tea unless there's a quota and I'm having fun

    You don't need fly fishing gear, a light soft bait outfit works for chucking spinners which are legal in Northland. Muddy flavour can be masked to some degree, but it is still going to be there. Smoking is probably the best option.

    Kai Iwi lakes?

    You'd not be the first to use trout for snapper bait.
