Another season done and dusted - interested what other users thought of fishing in the Lake.
Most consistent spot - Hauparu bay / moose lodge
Biggest fish - pb of 4kg from Russells point , just east of vercoes farm
Spot review - narrows - never really slayed them here but b4 xmas some nice fish caught here. Very limited room and you have to be right on the spot - hard spot to fish
West bank - Pretty average really, a few fish seen here but never really fired for me
The hole - dont think i caught much here this season
Vercoes - did get some really good fish here, fished best for me jan- march. The outside drop off in 25-30m really had its moments
Russells hole - between vercoes and Russells point, if smelt showing worth a crack - got a few fish late in season
Russells point - just south of vercoes got my pb 4kg fish here, look for the punga on the point , can find fish out at 30m or in the shallows on weed bank 20m or less- seem to be scattered a bit but was pretty consistent for me.
The sKIDS - a couple of good days here around xmas feb - hard up against the slip was the go in 25m
tHE PIPE / SLIP - not much fishing done here, got a couple close to ramp but nothing special
Transformer - did ok here late in season fishing shallow chasing smelt schools but overall not alot of time here
The stream - near the shop on main road - pretty quiet
Gisborne point - had a good day only a few hundred metres from the ramp drifting offshore in a fresh breeze - green flies
Ruato - still yet to land a fish here despite many people claiming this spot very good - saw plenty on sounder.
Hauparu / moose lodge - the standout - most of the season good numbers of fish showing here- some days hard to get to bite but some awesome days too - fished well to the end of the season - most of the time fish 25-30m but last trip we got them right in shallow 15m on the small smelt schools
Best flies - grey ghost most of the year, late season mix it up a bit, wooly bugger, green orbit, rabbit , killer styles
Already looking forward to next season
