Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

I gotta ask Dundee. What were you thinking when you did that?

Well Rushy I never said it was my finger but just added the picThanks for your concern anyway Rushy,VC and Toby

Today was quite a day on the water Had a few now

Hope this story works out

Went to town early and bought a firefox lure off Neckshot

Hit the river with this virgin lure and wallaa!!



Get a call from Neckshot that a rep wants too for a fish.

Yes another top fisho guided by Dundee

The Daiwa team turned up same make as my rod



We fished for a bit then a local fly fishing guide turned up and gave the Daiwa rep some tips.



Bloody neat as this guide is pretty good

The guides mates scarpered over the hill a little where I told them there were trout holding in a pool



Meanwhile the tutorial was kept up by the guide.



The guide said too me when you goin too start fly fishing,my Dad taught him the trade. I carried on spinnining



The dude from Daiwa had too make a break as he had a date with the H&F team for tea.
He got a couple bites and a free tutorial from a top guide

I scored a telescopic rod for taking this dude for a fish





This nymph was given too the Daiwa man from the guide

Fuckn cool bro hes a good guy aswell aye heil be wrapped you took him for a flick.

Sweet. Dad went for a trout hooked 5 lost 5. I went to the river mouth today got 11 kahawai 2 of them were massive as.

Dundee I am actually quite happy that it wasn't your finger and I did think that the gauge of the hook looked big for trout and had noted your previous advice to someone about cutting two of the jags off. I have know some "hard out" anglers that have done that sort of thing though and know that accidents can happen. Anyway glad it is not your finger as it would severely limit trigger time.

Excellent post. Clearly you are a spin fisherman with no reason to change to fly fishing Dundee. You catch a lot of trout.

This trout from the Waikaia River in December 2011 does not really count as "recently" . . . but I am headed home on December 9th and looking to do some more fishing in Southland.

Good trout

Nice fish! and nice country

Very nice KiwiinseatleHeading off now with a shit load of sunblock on.Kids coming this time.

Neckshot be leaving 1730hrs tonight if you fullas are coming.

Yesty was grand hot and no wind.The whole family ready too hit the water but Possom trapper had borrowed the weed eater from his grandad so I ferried the boys up too the shed to return the tool.

PTs pack and rod on Mrs D's quad but we headed to the river after the drop off.


PT waited on my quad for his mumma and I get a text on my cell "quack,quack" yep thats my text tone.
Mrs D at home waiting for PT bloody communication any way said we at river waiting.
Any way she heads down towards river too meet up with us AND forgot her rod
Turns back home and runs out of petrol

That pissed her off more

Sean Dundee and I scarperd ready for buisness but I left him in my tracks

Thats Sean near my rod tip and he crossed the river too
We saw a few but no luck.

After lunch PT joined me cause I told em I spotted a Henaki (Eel net) in the river

And he yanked it out and is going to untangle and repair it.


We also spotted a big brown right where the middle branch is but the photo does no justice as we were quite high up on the bank and I have no polaroid lense.


Neckshot joined me last evening and the rise and nearing full moon created quite a stirr on the water with trout rising everywhere but we both failed At least we weren't fishing blank water they were there but no takers.
Neckshot and I lost a lure each,my one caught the 3lber the day beforeMight go swimming soon

Tonight I saw some big browns and one big rainbowYeah right no one believes you unless you catch em.

I had a couple off the big ones swim past my lure but no connection.

Landed a small rainbow released too get bigger

Those big ones tease the shit out of me too ,feels so good when you do get to nail one .

Found a sheltered spot out off this bloody wind
Some good ones cruising


I threw a rapala at it.

Nice one bro!,good condition brown there!
