You won't see many Northland river trout, not because they are rare, but because no one fishes for them. The urge to go freshwater fishing hit today, must be watching too much YouTube. I haven't cast a line in to a river for a while, maybe a decade. I forgot how annoying trees can be!
Eat your hearts out central North Islanders and South Islanders!

my aunt lives outside whangarei. She has browns in her creek
I thought you were going to catch them?
I caught a few more good fish last week using a mouse lure on a spinning rod - around midnight.
8.2lb and 6.8lb browns and a good 5.3lb rainbow - I finally invested in a good digital scale that goes to 25lbs.
Will post some photos when I get them sorted.
Dinner tonight
