spinning for trout in the Hutt river?

hi all

is it possible to catch trout in the hutt river on a regular basis? I would like to get into some kind of fishing and i did a bit of trolling for trout in Taupo as a kid. i dont think i have the patients for fly fishing but was always good at slinging a lure. so that narrowed it down to spinning for trout. that and the fact that Dad still has a whole bunch of trout fishing bits and pieces laying in the shed so minimal financial input (which will keep the mrs happy after buying a new rifle/hunting setup)
so before i buy the license would like to hear what the chances of being able to catch fish regularly enough are?

not expecting a fish every time but some regular luck would be nice

cheers

The Hutt trout are pretty educated. You can always try a bubble float with flies as well. I often tie a wooly bugger or fritz in front of a mepps spinner. Lots of good fishing over in the Wairarapa, check the Welly fish and game website.

What ever lures u put on its just luck black tobys are good.

You tried the Kourarau dam out Gladstone, used to fish it years ago, had some good perch in it, worms on a bubble

I have heard that the Wainuiomata stream has some of the best fishing in the Lower North Island .

Andrew does well spinning there
