Back from Turangi... stayed for two days in the Garden cottage of Sportsmans Lodge great accommodation!
Went first day for few hrs to Ota. I've tried hard on the fly but not a single taker...olive wooly bugger , black ones ,beaded ones ,float tip sink tip....nothing.
My mate was spinning and got already a few so I started as well and got 4 fish in the last hour biggest was 3,5kg...
The nyt was heavy rain and thunder ..next morning sunshine... beautiful day!!
We decided to give Kuratau a shot. Was a bit windy but not too much ... so casting the flies was the go for me..my mate spinning again...
It wasn't that hot fishing as expected. I've landed 7 but all pretty small...my mate had a lot of bites but landed only one and she was tiny!
I saw three nice big brownies very close to the yak ,but they were spooked away by me.
We decided to try the last hours of the day at Ota again but got not even a single bite, not on fly or spinner...
The water was very high and kind of milky from havy rain the nyt before
It was a good trip even if it wasn't that fishy ...would loved to test my Epic #6 a bit harder on one biggie but that's how it is sometimes...
I'm pretty sure to give it another try in the next couple of weeks before it's finally closed again.
