Hi, I have never seen so many little fish caught on the Tongariro. I know the stretches of water you were fishing since I first sighted them in 1971, the river changes after every flood and the pools have to be re learned, but honestly, you must hold the record! Cheers mate. Harera
I think I must be a specialist in catching small trout:-) I don't catch many big ones. I've done a lot of small stream fishing and I like to mostly fish dry fly. I think I gravitate to the shallower water where the smaller fish are. I don't fish the deeper pools so much as the dry doesn't always work. I also tend to fish blind rather than sight fishing, so I'm just fishing the likely spots. I probably need to make an effort to try a few different methods, but it's fun catching the small ones too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm stunned. I have never caught small trout like this in the Tongariro.
I think I'm a small trout specialist!!
It's the big ones I can't find 😊

I fished at the bridge yesterday. 2nd cast caught a nice 3-4 Lb , none of this 50 gram fish stuff
Great!
On a nymph or a dry?
I seem to be a 50g specialist:-)
I have never seen fish so small being caught in the Tongariro.
I seem to be good at catching small fish!
Not so good with the big ones though:-)
Thanks for watching.
What size fly rod did you used 4wt?
Hi @haiongolf, thanks for watching!
I'm using a 5wt rod that I made myself from a St Croix blank.
