FishMan wrote: Fly addict, Adam's on the money. There are certain places that work and ones that don't. Once you identify a good area then stick with it. It's a numbers game, but it's also worth hitting marker poles just for practice... these Auckland kings seem a little bit fussier than the Tauranga ray riders so it does pay to be well schooled in 'getting the eat'. I say that because I'm hearing about an awful number of fly refusals out there. People are finding the fish but not getting bit. From my perspective I'm glad it's not easy And if you were fishing where I think you were fishing yesterday the 'other' fly fisher in the distance had three kingies crashing around at his feet, but couldn't get a touch on a clouser! How do I know??? I got spies everywhere, ha ha Let's just say- if it was easy it wouldn't be such an exciting challenge |
