That gorgeous fly rod I'm swinging is a 9' 5-weight G.Loomis Asquith... definitely my all-time favourite wand. You can watch my earlier video review of it here: th-cam.com/video/bw_fMIFRgGE/w-d-xo.html
Nice! Pond fishing can be fun and rewarding, as shown. Thailand fishing parks, for example, give opportunities to catch many different species, have a nice meal (catered) and spend a relaxing day out with mates. 👍
@@StarloGetsReel I used to "haunt" Pilot 111 Fishing Lake (Bangkok), Greenfield Valley Fishing Resort (Hua Hin) and the old Bungsamran Lake (Bangkok). I haven't been to the new Bungsamran. Greenfield Valley was my favourite.
Just come over to NZ Starlo, catch trout 3 times that size for free and have a holiday at the same time. The hydro canals in the South Island are amazing, 28 lb trout is my best so far.
so I guessed the rod you were using was that a WF Line? that fishery with the bream fishing in the estuaries plus the squid and whtiing shows tassie is very very attractive
One more thing. Did you fish the Montana nymph all the time or did you try some other flies? I’d be interested to know what flies you had success with.
Well done Starlo on yr biggest Aussie Rainbow I think you said? What a Trout escape and holiday lodge. Almost makes me want to learn the art of fly fishing myself. Just happy at mo that I learnt a basic version of the F.G.knot, which I thought I’d never master, now to put it into action on the local salt species. A Kingfish followed one of my 60mm Daiwa Double Clutches the other day, makes me salivate, to think I was that close to at least hooking my first Kingie. Stay well Starlo!!
Fantastic. Confession: I have never caught a trout on a fly in a lake or dam, only rivers. Was taking copious notes, especially on the retrieve. Thank you!
I agree with your comments of paid fisheries Starlo. Great opportunity for trophy fish if well managed. I fished Twin Lakes last year and had a great time. Wished it could have been longer. I loved watching you fish for those trout … gave me a few ideas for the next time I fish a dam.

Well said! Yes, I'm keen to have a crack at one of those Thai ponds. Any suggestions on a good one?

28 lb? That’s not a trout that’s a spotted freshwater tuna
Sounds good.
Yeah, at Twin Lakes in Berkeley
😮
Looks a lot easier than Cressy Dam Jo!!

Yep. I run a WF6 on that 5-weight. Tassie rocks.
Growing up in NZ I've been lucky enough to see some stockers, but that was a ripper mate!
Cheers!
Amazing video im moving down to Canberra in a few weeks im excited to go catch trout
Good luck!
Great video mate, what an awesome fish! Looks like a cracking spot. :)
It really is!
Awesome work Steve! My biggest Rainbow Trout so far is 10.5 Pounds from Malpas Dam, such a great fish you got.
Very nice!
One more thing. Did you fish the Montana nymph all the time or did you try some other flies? I’d be interested to know what flies you had success with.
Tried a few others but the Montana was hard to beat!
@@StarloGetsReel was I mistaken or did it have a red thorax? And what size hook did you find the best?
@@lauriebroomhead5044 orange. I had other thorax colours but the orange got the most attention by far!
PS: that Montana was tied by Norwegian fly tying Queen Torill Kolbu about 30 years ago! It features the crocheted body she invented.
Thanks.
Like the dehooker
Yep, they're good.
