mgj Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Just got back from NZ.The kings were a bit more wary this year,but we did OK.On fly I got salmon,snapper and some hoodlums. I lost some gear (a flyline) to the rampaging kings,but the trip was enjoyable.On fly this year the kings would not touch any fly on >30lb leader.It made fighting hoodlums in bad shallow country interesting! The weather was good and we ate well-a good trip. Mark Hooked up! Edited December 14, 2013 by mgj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 NICE!! Out of interest - did you have to burley up to get the kingies and snapper into a cube trail and then drop the fly in it, or were you just fishing known kingie & snapper haunts, hoping they'd take the fly?! A lot of fun, no matter how they get there, eh? Great pics - great fish! Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
