Thread: Catch Any Trout Today?

over the last few days, i have caught about ten nice size rainbows. smoked them up, yumm. few about at the moment. lost a few as well.

I landed two today,the first was a 20km drive away and where I parked was a mates car we never saw each other as she went upstream and I went downstream. This was caught on the Waihi wonder,bit shakey after recieving the bash from Mrs Dundee after putting pics in the freshwater pics thread.

I fished about 8 km of water after work tonight lost a good brown and a reasonable rainbow but landed one.

Got to see you can still get out and about Dundee. I was worried that Mrs D might have lopped you off at the knees.

Been a hard week on the water Rushy had a few hits but nothing landed till Mrs D took a trophy too the bank

That sure is a keeper. Hope you have room above your fire place or em

Poor little thing give it back to its mother Mrs D .

Still battling the warm conditions sighted 30 odd browns yesty epic fail but cooler temperatures tonight still a fail but I landed 2

I have been fishing the Tukituki river for over 35 years and today its at its lowest water level that I can ever remember, at this rate the rapids will flow under the shingle in a month. I work less than 200 yrds from this river and its not in very good condition. A ten year stint as a honorary fish n game ranger with Bill Spooner then Roly Bagshaw saw me covering its length many times and i appreciate the recreational opportunities it gives,im hoping it recovers quickly from this drought.

That is terrible. Someone smarter than me needs to figure out how to get the Fiordland rain to those parts of the country that need it

fukn dry here too and have to pick the water as cynabacteria has set in the low flowing waters. Rivers can kill ya dogs in these conditions

There was a feature in our local paper (herald tribune) only days ago, where a well loved labrador swam in a backwater here before convulsing and becoming paralysed before getting euthanised at the vet. I hate seeing animals suffer.
