How many big rainbow trout can we catch? [Creek Trout fishing] 

Thanks you, it is a great stream indeed. Tight lines.

Yeah it was a great day for sure. Nice to get a good session in as I hadn't visited it yet this season.

That orange one was getting them all day. Did you see the one coming out from under the trees and chasing it downstream? You'd think it was a cicada in summer!

Yea I could make it out, would have been cool to see in the flesh. I liked the snag that turned into a fish, if only that happened more often!🤣

@haydenstewart1659 yeah it was definitely better in real life. That log fish was so funny, still not entirely sure what happened there. I suspect the fish took it and then unsnagged me in the process.

It was really nice to have some good weather for a change. Those slushies surprised me. The are bright and big but darn the fish liked them even in the clear water.

Absolutely!

Yeah, it's nice to have so many good sized rainbows in one stream and there are some really nice looking stretches on the stream, especially further upstream.

Yup, saw your vid. Hopefully next time se can hit it together.

It was a pretty good day for sure

Yeah only saw one brown but I heard there are more up the top access.

I haven't had a big brown yet this year, pity this log turned into a rainbow but hopefully I'll sneak another trip before the end of the season and head upstream to see what I can find. I'm looking forward to the winter fishing on the T. I plan to do a bit of swinging and have got a TRC line now for my 8wt so I'm keen to try that out. Tight lines.

@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Hi, I bought the Orvis Helios 3D #8 rod to replace my Killwell that I smashed on the T swinging a big lure. Big mistake, should have bought the #6. The technology in rods has changed so rapidly that my knowledge has not kept up with the improvements. I find that where I use to have a heavier rod before I can go down to a #6 on the T and have the same results yet do less damage to my shoulder. Mind you I managed to break the top tip on the Helios just like I did on the Sage and the Kilwell and CDC. The only rods that I have not broken was my first fibre glass rod and my first carbon fibre rod. Mind you they were heavier, but in those days I could only compare them to split cane rods. Now I go for the lightest and least carry gear I can manage! Back to Turangi on 16 June with hopes for better results. Cheers mate. Harera

@@pierevojzola9737 I just fished with the T for the first time in a long time with my 8wt Primal mega and a Tongariro Roll Cast line. It was a real please. Using speycasting techniques on a heavier rod required a lot less effort to cast those heavy setups and I could use the same line on my 6wt on the TT as well. I want to try putting that line on my trout spey rod since it's pretty similar to a scandi line anyway and at 380 gr perfect for my 11' 5wt. I am very curious how nymphing with a spey rod wiland this line will combine. I'll keep you posted. I am looking for the least effort as well because I have some issues with casting as well so anything that reduces effort helps.

Hi Thad, make contact via my website www.crazyaboutflyfishing.com com. Winter is a good time to catch up on the rivers and I am always happy to meet folks. Tight lines and sorry for the delayed reply.

It's funny how often that happens on this stream. Was great to get a good day in with not too many anglers about either.

Thank you 😊

Thanks. Angel tried to find the details of the vest but it has no brand and he bought it off Amazon and can't find the details unfortunately.

It's a worthwhile trip over here, always happy to catch up with folks on the river. Tight lines and hope you make it over.

Angel tried to find the details but he isn't able to. He said he bought it off Amazon, no brand name.

I must say I only euro in winter on a couple of rivers, in summer I like to cast my fly line and if I can a dry dropper rig. The trout spey/micro skagit is also really growing on me. Been having a bit more success with it lately too. It's just another good tool to have in the box so worth learning when you get the chance.

Still thinking about it?

We are pretty lucky to have streams and days like these. Often have to pinch mysefl.
