haha yea that will work theres a reservoir i fish at your only allowed to spin fish or fly fish. there a rainbows browns and eels in there.an there are some monsters in there but its quite hard cause they just dont seem to bite even the smaller fish ive tried tobys rapalas veltics fly storm soft baits and got a wee few the released about 750 but there alot harder to catch than trout in the river. they seem to be getting used to the lures any ideas?

 I'm assuming you mean Sullivan's dam? If you go to the rocky shallow end that is where the fish are released and although it doesn't look as good as the nice deep end it is generally the more productive area. I found the soft minnow storm lures worked well, as with articulated rapalas.
 
If you ever get into fly-fishing use an sort of woolly bugger or a damsel nymph, caught loads on these up there. 
Have you been out on the lower Taieri? I was out there a few days ago and while I only caught a wee tiddler the river is in good condition with decent flow but still relatively clear.

Ah ok, I never found the southern reservoir to be that productive to be honest, but haven't fished there in a while. Best spots I found were the shallower waters on the other side from the entrance and that little inlet pipe. Pretty much the same lures as for Sullivans dam though, but add on a rainbow trout coloured Super Kobra (better style of tazzie devil) was my favourite for there as it gets deep, casts miles and catches fish!

Good luck.

Catch a bus out to waldronville and fish the estury there on the incoming tide. There are a few locals who catch the odd large trout there. Use something small and silver to imitate whitebait / smelt at this time of year. The mouth of the Leith, whilst not too interesting produces a few fish at this time of year also.
Have fun!
