So this is Day 2 on New Zealand's best Trophy Trout river. possibly even best in the world. While comparatively, it was slow compared to Day 1 Opening Day, Me and my Buddy Lance had an absolute Blast Chasing these mega-sized Trophy Rainbow trout from tricky pocket water.
Hope you enjoy it.

40 odd years ago I used to fish rough places like this, after 3 days I was spent. Used to call it full contact trout fishing. Fun times.

I'm heading to your beautiful NZ for the month of November. I was curious if 5/6 wr rod would be suffice but thinking from what I'm seeing (Large Rainbows) I better bring my 8wt?

Im looking forward to casting the fly again in the sth cant region & explore the high country waters ive never fished. Which brings me to a couple of questions: In this river what weight rod and what lb leader & tippet do you use to catch these monster tanks of trout? Cheers, Pete

Apparently the conditions in New Zealand are perfect for the trout to grow big, oxygen levels, good food, clean water, conservation programmes, water temperatures, climate temperatures, all combine for great environment for the trout. I probably cannot explain it more that that, that is as biologically scientific as I can get.

@TroutHuntingNZ 2 жыл бұрын

@humboldtfisher8319 2 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure these big rainbows live most of the time in a lake where they grow big, and these guys are catching them during their spawning run into the river - the fish look like spawners, based on coloration and the big kypes on the males.

@DoubleMonoLR Ай бұрын

It seems this was the Tekapo hydro canals - there are some Salmon farms, so wild & escaped salmon & trout get huge on food that drifts out. So yeah, not so much to do with the natural environment in this case.
