Why they stop biting. ?? Who knows?
 
Will see next week. I want to get at least 3 fish to be smoked. in my new smoker.
 
 
 
Yes Stika.
 
The fishing at Pupuke has certainly slowed down over the last week or so.
 
As for the reason? I am inclined to think the "full moon" of late has a lot to do with it.
 
Then again we have to realise there are only a certain number of trout in the Lake & as presumably they are not breeding at Pupuke, then given the number of fish regularly being taken out, it only stands to reason it must slow down sooner or later.
 
Maybe it is a combination of factors, food for thought anyway.
 
 
Cheers
 
P.S. Does anyone know if the coarse fish breed in Pupuke?

bazza, all coarse fish breed in their.  Ive caught small juvenile perch.  Come to think of it, I havent seen any carp smaller than 4kg in the lake, so maybe they dont breed?

Rusky, Remember that one we speared that had millions of eggs spewing out its arse when we got it on shore? I suppose this doesnt prove they breed but shows they still produce eggs.
Yeah all the Koi are big buggers in there eh. Who knows.

Another day (Mon) of blanking.
 
Have to agree with Stika, the fishing really seems to have slowed down, altho one couple caught a fish using worms.
 
Ranger was checking licences etc. which is gratifying to see. Had trouble finding mine with so many pockets in the fishing vest, but located it finally.
 
Cheers

Fished the lake Friday 7th . One Trout 38sm. Not bad little fish. Thats all.
No more bites. No more activity.
 
Nice night to be out.
Will try to fish this week. Last 2 weeks the air is colder and that may be good indication for the trout to get on with it again.

Thanks Stika for that update seems as tho the fishing is still very quiet.
 
Personally I have not been lately due to recent visits being such hard fishing, plus the weather has been atrocious on many days.
 
May go again soon & perhaps take my one man, personal fishing pontoon,
in order access different water & to maybe get a bit deeper.
 
Does anyone know if a fly rod using  a sinking line is suitable for jigging with a fly, in case I get desperate & also what depth of water does jigging work best?
 
Cheers

Two and a half hours in a freezing cold relentless wind for zilch result.
 
Three others there caught just as many as I did, which was of some small consolation.
 
In fact the only fish sighted was one of reasonable size that "hit" my indicator on the surface.
 
Whatever they are feeding on must be something different to a month ago, because they simply do want to know what was working then.

Stika you may be pleased to know Fish & Game are doing something & only this Tuesday, a person such as you describe faced charges in the Nth. Shore court for fishing Pupuke without a licence. Once word of this gets about, hopefully we will see less blatant infringements such as you outline.
 
I agree that the use of multiple rods or lines is a real problem & those doing so probably do not have licences either.
 
As a licence holders we are entitled question, then advise anglers we consider in breach of regulations, if they then refuse to desist, we can report their actions to F & G preferably at the time by cell phone, so possible immediate action can be taken.
 
Claiming not to be able to speak English, I am pleased to say has now worn really thin & a much tougher line is being taken in that regard.
 
Cheers

Bazza> Sounds good. Hope that this will be now in past. And we can enjoy our fishing with out looking at people using 2-3 rods and be ignorant about that.
Fished the lake tonight 7-8pm . Got one nice size trout. So at least this was productive

The lake is slow on fishing at the moment. I guess summer is coming and the fish getting ready. So will I. Salt water fishing season starting in 3 weeks.
Is anyone still catching trout?
