Brown trout<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In January 2091 I went to New Zealand and fished the Ngongotaha which flows into Lake Rotorua in New Zealand. Lake Rotorua is a shallow lake, and during summer the 20m depth\u00a0 temperatures can rise to above 21C.\u00a0 The fish then move into the cold water streams,. The Ngongotaha is a narrow stream, covered in trees and blackberry bushes.\u00a0 Overhead and roll casting is nearly impossible and so we had to wade the steam and sneak up behind the fish to within two rod lengths to cast a hopper using the bow and arrow cast. Accuracy was paramount.\u00a0 Place the hopper within 200 cm in front of the fish to force the trout make a decision and take the fly. Then all hell breaks loose the mainly brown trout are 8-15lb and go ballistic.\u00a0 I was fitted with a WF6F Rio Gold flyline, and a 20lb leader. There was no finesse..this was not gentleman trout fishing with a fly rod\u2026this was warfare.\u00a0 Last year a very large brown trout (est 15lb) ran under a log and bent my tip double\u2026it smashed my top section\u2026so I had a trip back to England for repairs\u2026at least I got a window seat.\u00a0 This year I landed at least 8 big trout, the biggest 85cm and well over 10lb\u2026real stonkers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ratings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Casting.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bow and Arrow<\/li>\n<li>Fish on the reel. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 0 (no time).<\/li>\n<li>Fight time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 20secs.<\/li>\n<li>Chance of getting broken:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 70%<\/li>\n<li>Adrenalin factor : \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 95%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>HTO Competition 2019 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexyloops.com\/htoc\/2019\/04\/30\/sexyloops-hot-torpedo-owners-competition-2019\/\">these are the Rules<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am no 16 HT 6.
