Lake Waihola - A great redfin fishery in the South Island of New Zealand

[@robbiefishing]

Absolutely sensational. WOW. Inspirational too I must say. I'm certainly inspired to go over there. I loved this.

Thanks Robbie. So many fishing opportunities in NZ, and the redfin are definitely an under targeted species, but with sensational trout fishing, I can understand it.

What a fantastic fishery for redfin. I will be travelling to NZ later in the year, and I'll be checking this place out. Thanks for posting.

[@FishtalkVideo]

You'll have a lot of fun here, Ron. There are a number of good redfin spots to explore, and of course world class trout fishing as well.

Nice one Rossco Thanks and I wish I was there.

[@FishtalkVideo]

Thanks mate. I had 3 trips to this lake and never saw anyone else fishing. Definitely an underused resource.

Enjoyed watching your video… I like a good feed of Red fin but fish that size are hard to come by here in Tassie.

[@FishtalkVideo]

Thank you. They were all in excellent condition and the average size was much better than what I am used to as well.

[@galantbeast]

When you cast do you let it sink or do you retrieve straight away? Also how fast are you retrieving ?
thanks

[@FishtalkVideo]

Hi there, Lake Waihola is quite shallow with tremendous weed growth, so I tend to start retrieving when the lure hits the water. I usually do a twitching, reasonably fast retrieve to stay above the weeds.

How good is that place ross

[@FishtalkVideo]

Sensational, Michale. No virus, and well conditioned fish that fight strongly. Well worth a visit if anyone finds themselves in the area.

I'm part of the yacht club have been since a child I could cast with a worm on back in day and before it hit the bottom fish on 😂

[@FishtalkVideo]

I can just imagine how good it would have been back then, Dan. I love fishing at Waihola.

[@danhartigan9529]

@@FishtalkVideo I like how you talked about the weed if you can get the youre lure over the tops of beds you get lots of action very predatory fish
