I saw them in the complete angler maybe 18 mths ago. I think they represent a cockabully (the the wing above the head makes them swim along the bottom kicking up sediment ala bully like) You can also get a one made by the same guys that is a small eel, havnt caught anything on that yet. The first big trout I caught 19 years ago was a 7lber on a…[Read more]

awesome Kris can’t wait to see the sequel next year.

Ended up buying a rio grand couldn’t be happier thanks miliwolf.

Do a search on trademe for it then click save this search and you can make it email you when one is listed ( this is how i got my copy).
Then all you have to do is wait when i did it there was one every week to 10 days. ( i bought one and forgot to cancel the search so i kept on getting emails until i did 8 weeks later )

Great looking fish well done.

I was out on the middle reaches last night the river is very braided hard to find good water. went in at darrochs road drove right up came out at teparita rd.
Colour was bluey grey IMO should be perfect by tomorrow. Might go out my self after work.

they are the best eating IMO.
As for returning them it depends where you fish, 30 yrs ago i remember fishing in a lake near wanganui that you were asked to toss em up the bank if you didnt want them. I think it was because they were ileagally released and numbers had exploded.They can get to plauge preportions but mostly I don’t think there is a…[Read more]

Thats enough man love on the forum!
Hows about a report

what area is the best to fish at the selwyn clean/dirty water near upper or lower huts?

yup thats a monster alright make you wonder what lurking out at sea.
Some of my best trout i have caught in the rakaia were caught on small black ticers.Generally i use them to fish the fast water where a toby would just plane to the surface, no current like that down there eh.
I think a trip to the selwyn is in order and give my vibrax a crack.

Wow cracking fish, what were you using? What are the most productive methods down there? I have only fished there in the day time.

[quote="GrumpyGel":25t7k085]Did anyone see that bloke down at the Selwyn on Tuesday evening wandering around asking other fishermen to pull an embedded Rapala out of the back of his head?[/quote:25t7k085]
Was it his own? or had he really annoyed someone I wonder

Found this big fella knocking off cripples and Duns.
Fishing in the rain had been snowing Brrrr

7.5lb took my CDC emerger that was fresh from the vise and totally wrecked it can’t complain though

The selwyn was better to me today a couple of nicely spotted brownies

when you are writing your posts click preview rather than submit and you will see what it looks that way youll be able to make changes and figure it out.

sent that to a mate he said its probably a taniwha

Cool to see something different. Do you eat them if so what would you compare it to?
Looks a bit like a monk fish

2m is a fricken big eel!!!
I saw a big one maybe 1.5m but really fat in lake selfe (swam past me as i was launching my float tube!! not impressed )
I have seen in one of kevo’s vids him hanging a trout in the water off his float tube wouldnt want that bugger taking an intrest if u were out in the middle.

ok you nearly have it right.
on that imageshack page you have there down the bottom right of the screen there is a bit that says “Links to share this image” click the arrow.
Then where it says “direct link” copy whats written there.
Go to the forum, typing your message above where you type are some buttons click “Img”
this will put img and img…[Read more]

After work I headed to the upper selwyn for a look and drew a blank
Plenty of good looking water but not a fish to be seen did some blind nymphing through some good looking pools and stripped a woolly bugger under some willows but nada. The selwyn has been running to the lake for sometime now I expected better.(maybe someone had beaten me…[Read more]
