  1. darrin go with a 9ft if your nymphing.

    im fishing a 8' 6" fast action rod right now

    and its a bitch for nymphing.

    much harder to mend, casting in wind makes you really work.

    i would say go with the 9 or even 9' 6"

     

  2. how did you make out with the trout aquarium?

    i picked up a 175gallon tank this weekend and live within 100m of the river.

     

    "Possess live GAME FISH unless the fish have been lawfully caught by angling and are within 100 m of the waters from which they were caught." from the regs

     

    so would this mean i can keep fish i caught seeing as i am within the allowed distance?

     

    as for a chiller did you end up using one?

    i have an idea of using an old water cooler to do the job.

  3. nice fish guys!

    here is a reed study done by trout unlimited. click..

    they did the studies the last week of september and by that time the fish were off the reeds and had moved back down.

    who is to say this fish has not already made the trip? maybe this bull spawns every second year as it states in the article that some do....

    btw only a small amount of reeds were found below the closed areas on the highwoood sheep and elbow.

  4. Hey "Big Bad Brown" How was the fishing on the Highwood this Sept? Thinking of hitting it on the weekend.

     

    fishing was decent.

    didnt really fish for cutties much most of our time was spent hunting bulls

    we saw a few bigger bulls but only managed one around 24 the rest in the 20 range

    the last day i went(sunday) with the intent of fishing for cuts.

    i was rigging my rod up and snaped the tip.

    it must have been fractured or something maybe from hitting it on sharp shale or something down there.

    so i was forced to fish streamers for the day.

    there were lot of mayflys later afternoon.

    they were brown but have no clue what they were. maybe size 12-14

    goodluck this weekend.
