Yeah - wonder if he sort of regrets that post now as only negative post in 9 pages on here. Bit strange really - maybe he wants to start a thread as what is trout fishing really and why .
To the purist dry fly fisherman I can understand not his cup of tea and I know some other fly fisherman in rotorua and taupo areas that are anti jigging too.
There are plenty of fish for everyone really - jigging is fun for the family, anyone can do it , young, old and the infirm.
Me personally - i concentrate on fly fishing in the winter mainly, do plenty of all sorts of other fishing in the meantime - jigging really only summer and a bit of Autumn and really enjoy it. Even finding the fish doent mean you will automatically catch them in numbers - presentation, the right rig and fishing it the right way are the key - sounds a wee bit like fly fishing ?
