Went fishing this afternoon looking for new lyes on the Tongariro and was introduced to a couple from a friend. Also found a couple of others by noticing the regular hookup rate of a couple of other fishermen. At this time of the year when there are other fishermen around you don’t necassarily need to be able to read water - just know what a bent pulsing rod means! Hooked around half a dozen while my mate hooked into around a dozen for the afternoon. Nearly all of the fish were fresh and in good condition averaging 3 pounds.
