Trout fishing in New Zealand - glen - 08-02-2004
Hi everyone,
Here is a photo from my recent trip to New Zealand <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nz.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':zorro:' />
This was the biggest brown trout I have ever caught! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/zorro.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':zorro:' />

this was captured while fly fishing.
the fish was sighted from some distance away and a small nymph (which is a type of fly that imitates an aquatic insect) was cast in front of it and the fish happily came up and grabbed the fly <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

ive always wanted to learn to fly fish, but i dont think i would be able to go much, living in melbourne.
is it hard to learn?

its not that hard to learn fly fishing but i agree that melbourne is not that great.
though if you have access to a boat you could chase australian salmon on fly...that would be fun!
also you can catch big european carp on fly in some places.

i know, its a bummer eh? speaking of carp, do you know any parks around the melbourne area that have carp in them, i like catching them for fun, besides its doing the council a favour! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
thanks again,
pj

the best areas for carp are in the west. i believe Lake Modewarre has huge carp but i have never tried for them. there are also carp in the National Water Sports Centre. The address is -
Riverend Rd
Bangholme
VIC, 3175

see attached map. you can fish anywhere on the eastern side of the mornington freeway...its quite a large waterway.

thats a top looking trout there mate. did you have any luck on lures?
Trout fishing in New Zealand - glen - 04-04-2006
lure fishing is not that great over there....the fish tend to be very spooky and they will run and hide when presented with a clunky lure (a lot of the time).
small flies and light line are much more effective
