That's a pearla of a fish Dundee. Makes me jealous
in between rows! ya unit.Im pulling tits 2 morrow for mr payne been a few months not looking forward to it dundee.
That fish is in good condition ,be a nice 1 stuffed & baked in Microwave .
Thinking bout my stomach again . New season starts Monday .
Its the mighty Manawatu VC before it gets too PN so its prestine this end,so lucky 5 mins after work can land a beauty like that.
Chris this one I might fillet for supplies ,,never tried baked trout. The creeks bloody good too holds some killer eels:D
If you take a trout out of a hole or stretch of water does another move straight in? Ie if you had a magic pool that you regularly saw a big trout in and caught it(to eat) would another move in in a week or so?
I know nothing about fresh water fishing.
Dundee baked trout is fantastic done well. I have a great recipe that I could PM to you tomorrow if you would like.
Yes Rushy send it too me thanks.VC the men you need too talk too are the Riverworks team they catch and release.I catch an eat so have no idea:D
This river is alive and has such bad media bullshit put on it. The last Nz flyfisher mag had a good article about the Manawatu River
I have PM'd the recipe to you Dundee. If you do use it then post a pic but guard the recipe with your life otherwise everyone will be living like a king and we just can't have that. Only joking mate, by all means share. It is only my venison marinade that I will leave to someone in my will.
My experience is even small pools can hold 1/2 dozen trout all round the same size but also very often there is a big fish with them
He'll generally be very cagey ,he hasn't got big by being stupid.I've taken 3 fish out of the head of a pool with out moving my feet & then picked up another 2 at the tail end of same pool . They also seem to be quite territorial & 1 good fish in a pool or run is common.
The prime spots on the river are very popular & doesn't take long for another fish to move in.
You want some plum sauce to go with that baked trout .
Thanks Rushy and Chris I'll stick too the watties:thumbsup:
I'm not lucky when it comes to good trout but my brother is so here ya go, these are river fish, lake fishing is boring to me.

Nice fish
Couple of nice jacks ,those hens are good fish too .
I wanna see more of them .
Good trout there Toby! Just had Neckshot out here on the river today.Good times:thumbsup:
Thank's guys. The trout fishing used to be good, but it all changed after the commercial ellers came then it got pretty bad.
Thanks for that dundee water wasnt good for it like you say but it was good to travel 5 mins from my house and have a flick around with great company.Jakey wants to buy himself a rod like Daniel was using tonight with his b day money and wants to know when were going back down to the river with your selves.thanks again.
Anytime Neckshot:P Cleared up a bit today but that wind was bloody cold. Hour and a half down there tonight:D

aaarrrgh i was going to flick ya a tex then the neighbour asked if i wanted to go with him couldnt be rude!.flicked the oringi end no luck but good spots down there two mate.Weather was cracker for most of the day two and I was thinking the water will improve two:D
You guys fly fishing or spinners?
Seeing these fotos makes me think I might have to review my lack of licence status...but vehicle upkeep comes first:oh noes:
Im spinning! dundee can do both ive never fished for trout so im just getting into it wanna learn to fly fish dundee is gonna school me up.
yep keen for all those things:D
Yea that license fee is pretty heavy considering there is no stocking round here and Id be pretty unlikely to catch more than one fish for a season:D
I agree its a hefty cost.
The Pelouris near your way is spose too be pretty good.
We have no size limit or catch limit in this river so :wtfsmilie: but we don't keep all trout.
I think its common sense too take enough for a feed and release the rest but why the need for a license when theres no restrictions:oh noes:
Just too keep Jacob hooked Neckshot I snuck off for an hour before lunch today and landed this in Jacobs pool:D
