The new rig works very well Adrian and a few good looking Trouts in the net too mate, 12 hookups was great and trund out to be a nice day too.Enjoy the day with you, thanks, thumbs up and greetings from NZ,, Tony.
Hi Tony, it did turn out to be a reasonable good spin session, very tough on the body but well worth the effort even though I hooked & lost way too many fish, but that's fast water isn't it. Thanks for dropping by mate, it's always appreciated, hopefully I will soon be back in a river.. Take care & stay in good health. cheers Adrian
Good day Allan, it's certainly a great spot to fish, it's a stretch of river that normally fishes a lot better than it did on this trip, too many hooked & lost fish didn't help either. Glad you enjoyed the video as well mate, take care & stay safe chasing those Bass etc.. Cheers Adrian
Thanks for your positive comments, they are very much appreciated. It was a good spin session in what was tough waters to fish & very glad you enjoyed the video. 👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Well, everyone is entitled to their opinions, I've seen plenty of trout caught on a fly that have had mouth, gill damage & poorly handled, as for spin fishing for trout as being skill less I don't agree with that at all. Many of the rivers/streams that I fish have a lot of tight waters where accuracy is a must & all my trout are released for another day. Also one still has to find the right inline spinner that will get a trout to take it, just like the fly fisher has to select the right fly on the day. For me it's not just casting a lure into a river/stream and reeling it in, it's also knowing how to read a river and know where the trout are. So I don't really care what spin fishers are called in Scotland by the fly fisher's or anywhere else. 👍 cheers Adrian
@@adrianwebb7399 I understand your defensive take on this and I do not mean to offend but I was a spinner once and you do not know what you are missing - you read the river the hatch and conditions with a fly and NO-ONE can defend treble hooks and the weight of metal bashing into fly sippers mouths its a no contest fly hooks are way kinder. Spinning for trout imo should be banned. In Scotland it is.
@@scottthefunkRedPill So what you're actually saying is that the rivers/streams & lakes should be for the fly fisher's only and that's it. Sorry but we have enough fly fishers water only here in Tasmania, it will never be banned here anyway as the Inland Fisheries would go broke.. anyway, we've both had our say and our opinions are different, but that's life.
@@adrianwebb7399 Fair play my comments refer to the UK - I respect your position there and I know us fly fisherman seem a little aloof plz try it if you haven't the fight is amazing. I once upon a time used night lines never mind spinners I am 57yrs old and I am surrounded by spinners who have never tried fly because they do not want to learn lol Good luck and tight lines have a good day too.
@@scottthefunkRedPill No worries mate, I did try fly fishing way back in the 1960's in South Australia but couldn't afford to go on with it so went to the Mepps spinners, I'm not all that far off 79 years of age now & have five damaged discs in my lower back & not sure how much longer I can continue to fish the rivers. Our trout season opened back on the 3rd August and I am yet to wet a line due to the lower back pain. I appreciate you comments and hope you continue to have success with your fly fishing, take care in the rivers/streams and have a good day as well.. cheers Adrian

Put a fly on spinning for trout is skill less and damages their mouth in Scotland its called mugging.
