Thats a great vid, I bet the canals will be picket fence for the next few weeks.Hopefully the fisheries inspectors will be out in force as well

looks like the canals are going to be busy this weeked, 3′ gulps and 1/8 jig heads are selling out, lots of talk about the canals at the H&F shop today.

my 10lber from Ohau. 10 min fight, not much action.

I made the mistake of taking a far to casual approach with a much bigger and stronger fish. fought like a small salmon at first and as soon as I got a glimpse of it, it smoked the hell out of me, taking about 50 yard of line before rubbing my leader on something. I estimate about 15lb rainbow, but very fit, not a lazy slug like the 10lber.

Went to the canals today with my Father and he caught his first Large canal fish, A estimated 20lb Rainbow.
I caught nothing but had a big take which destroyed my large pink glowbug.

Up to the canals again today, very quiet due to the lack of current so went around to the eastern shore of Lake Tekapo and caught 5 small Trout and lost a good sized Rainbow.

Is there anyway of knowing what time the spillways are going to be open/flowing??

[troutfishernz]

There’s info about the flow of the Tekapo spillway on the Ecan website, Not sure if spill goes down the river or the canal though.

I find if there’s no flow your wasting your time on the canals, well the Tekapo one anyway.

Called into the canals this afternoon on the way home and watched a guy land a very fat 8lb brown. I had a few cast with some new soft plastics but no takes.

Went for a mid-day fish in the Taylor, saw a reasonable number of trout. The recent floods have washed away most of the weed and the river is looking very good. Even same nice gravel sections has been exposed. Caught a couple of feisty sea runs.

PB for me a 9.5lb brown mid river rakaia.
Awesome looking critter released after some snaps

Great fish baitman.
