xwordzxon 31 Dec 2009 at 1:51 am 9Hi Tomo,
I’m not the most experienced fly fisherman being 20 yrs of age… However I’ve been told and read allot of articles on the subject and they all say the same thing! it’s not the biggest cast’s that catch the fish, the key is presentation of the fly! if you can ‘read’ the water cast and drift the right lines it can be quite rewarding. Also – Only wade if you absolutely have to, a trout can sense vibration in water from many meters and in NZ they are very easy to spook!
tomo4evaon 31 Dec 2009 at 2:40 am 10hey,
Do you have any tips that you are willing to give away for fishing the river? I usually fish the straights, stand in the water, and cast as far as i can up stream, and fish it back to be, usually results in a few fish, but always wanting to learn!
xwordzxon 31 Dec 2009 at 2:50 am 11Hey,
I’m a local and regular fisher of the Ngongotaha only recently started fly fishing again recently… I have to say inducing a strike in that stream (paradise valley) even with the many trout is often difficult if not impossible for myself just trying to get a good cast away in some places due to the trees and bush around is tough! – However early morns by the Ngo bridge or Waiteti produce many hookup opportunities without fouling it’s awesome!

dave777blasteron 31 Dec 2009 at 4:26 am 13Often Trout and Salmon will attack the fly and at the last second refuse it and as it turns in retreat get their tails hooked.
They all count when you put them back.
dave777blasteron 31 Dec 2009 at 4:57 am 14good sports
for putting back
5*
troutmadness24on 31 Dec 2009 at 5:45 am 15it shoulda snapped off when the “netter” tromped through the creek chasing it
vr4maoriguyon 31 Dec 2009 at 6:38 am 16i hooked up on a 10lb+ brown on opening day last december the next pool down from the photo at 27 secs. after 5ish minutes, it swam under a tree and snapped off. i was so gutted. i had snapped my rod tid during the fight. i almost cried. well maybe ill get another crack at him this decmber 1st!
imachristieon 31 Dec 2009 at 6:53 am 17man, landed an 11 lbs trophy by foul hooking it!?
you were lucky as all hell!!
beautiful fish no matter how you caught it though.
FredAGunon 31 Dec 2009 at 7:40 am 18Hey -getting the guide to “land” your fish??
Come-on thats not really how it’s done is it?
Anyway -nice fish. Comments about the music are spot on!
struck2soonon 31 Dec 2009 at 8:05 am 19Shame you missed filming the take.Lovely fish, bloody awful music!

pre85mazdafiendon 31 Dec 2009 at 9:17 am 21Nice fish. The Nongataha holds a huge amount of good size rainbows and browns, my 1st was 6.25lb and caught plenty more but am still seeking the double figure.
13jelly13on 31 Dec 2009 at 9:22 am 22at least you didnt hook him in the belly, that would be plain embarassing!
Aslinger989on 31 Dec 2009 at 9:30 am 23the music was killing me, but what a beautiful fish
hockyekohon 31 Dec 2009 at 10:28 am 24that fish doesn’t count as a catch if you didnt hook it in the mouth guy
woolleybugger2on 31 Dec 2009 at 10:32 am 25Awesome. isn;t this river near Murapara? Or is it the little one in Rotorua? I have fished this one myself…
