rollcast 1 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Have a look at "once in a blue moon".Its about mouse feeders on the south Island of NZ.I make an annual trip to NZ (did 4 months last year long service leave)and have tried much of what both islands have to offer,from spawn run on the Tongariro to match the hatch on the Matuara or sea runners of South Island west coast and even spring creek stalking for massive selective browns.I still haven't been there for the mouse plague that coincides with the beach tree mast(flowering).After watching this I can't wait to get back hopefully during the mouse plague.

rollcast 1 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Also have a look at the series NZ trophy trout.I think theyre up to about no 6 .These guys get into some amazing back country fly fishing on the south island.They work hard for it hiking long distances and occasionally utilize a helicopter.But geez they catch some good fish.Destination trout (nz) is not bad and quite informative for first time visitors.Highland Gold 1 and 2 (tassie) is very informative for first time Tassie visitors.But why bother its not much further or dearer to go to NZ which is paradise.

rollcast 1 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi Chris,Well doe at new England!!I must get up there one day.Its been pretty slow down here.The big dam(you know where I mean )is not fishing that well.The fish are big but not enough of them.I have been chasing other species such as snook and Ye llowfin whiting just to keep myself occupied.They say the Beach tree mast that causes the mouse plague happens approx every seven years and must coincide with a warm winter.One day Ill strike it.Read some good stuff by Morsey a while ago about fishing deer hair mouse patterns in a lake somewhere deep south on the South Island out of his float tube.I joined TALTAC which is the "tomgariro and lake taupo angling association" so now I have cheap accomadation at there lodge in Turangi next time I visit Turangi.Cheers Mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
