And so again we come upon the time of year when we are forced to say goodbye to our faithful small streams that close on the 30th of June. If you get the chance, make sure you get out and give the small streams a crack over the next few weeks. They are generally full of fish that are busy putting on condition for spawning and so will eat just about anything you put in front of them. With this rain you will need to make sure your flies are bright enough to compensate for the dirtier water. DO NOT write off a steam with a brownish tinge to it. This is exactly what you want, shiny nymphs and woolly buggers can be devastating and you can get a lot closer to fish without them spooking.
The close of the season also makes me reflect on the season just gone and all the fun I have had in our fantastic country. I also find myself hanging out for October...
It is now time to turn the attention to the bigger rivers and winter lake fisheries. It is worth remembering that if you are goig to fish the Taupo region, new licences come into effect at the start of July so make sure you stay legit.
Awfully sorry, couldn't help but share this one.
On a more fishy note, this style of fishing (on a smaller scale) is worth a go on your local small streams in the last few weeks of the season. Who knows, you may bump into a good looking Simms clad girl on the river yourself...
