I have just started fishing again, I havent fresh-water fished for about 30 years so I've been practising on the Southern Reservoir and at Sullivans Dam in Dunedin for a few weeks now. I know I'm a complete novice and really dont know what I'm doing but I would have thought after fishing almost every day, sometimes twice a day for a few weeks, I'd have had more than just one nibble, right? Admittedly that one nibble did turn into a landed rainbow trout, but the fact that was the one and only nibble I've even had, I now suspect it was just a fluke. My question is, are there actually any fish in these locations? I never really see anyone else catching anything either. What lures should I be using? And lastly, for now, is there anywhere in Dunedin I can get lessons? I would love to spend a few hours with someone just going over the basics, and get some hints and tips, so I can try and get the best use of my licence and gear. Thanks. |
