Ive tried night fishing with flys, too much of a hastle not know where your line is landing etc. Baited hooks with bread sounds the go.

Havent dived it since. If you do go for a walk along the rowing club at night, you will see goldfish, possibly a carp, tench to good sizes, millions of eels, and of coarse perch in the shallows.
Only way I find how to catch perch is on live wriggling worms, but dead ones are fine.
One still night me and my mate will venture back to these parts in the hope of catching a trout and maybe some perch for fun.
Carp in Pupuke are rare, but anyones left remaining (after me & blair have speared most of them) are to good sizes of around 5-6kg.
Saltiga, I could be keen to join you, but no bugger all about catching them except on fly in rivers. Night fishing with a fly was impossible for me. Bread baits would be my only method to use! |
Stika, good on you for telling them to put them back, its not like we go hungry in this country!
You've got is sussed out stika by sounds of things, youve caught more trout than anyone else I know from pupuke. How long do you wait before you get a trout normally? Were you fishing the bottom again with bread?
With regards to the snails, they are not close to the banks, only on the long green kelp strands you see infront of the pump house in a few metres of water. If you can manage to grab the top end of one of these kelps and pull it out of the water, you may find some snails on the root ends of it. However, they are from my memory too small to put on a hook, but yet again there could be some bigger ones.

I was casting no problems the other night, only problem was that I wouldnt know how to present my fly or what type I should use. Any pics or examples would greatly be appreciated. I soon grew bored and came to the conclusion that it wasnt working. Places I want to try is of the aftificial pontoon wharf to the right of the rowing club, and straight in front of the rowing club facing east. These places allow maximum back casting with no obstacles in the way. What gets me is how can a trout see a fly at night time?
