Rotorua Anglers Association

Larry, Brian, Rod, Ron, Martin, Gerry, Piet and Rika all left tha RAA clubrooms for the annual Tuituki trip. Accomodation was again the Hastings Anglers Club rooms. Fishing that afternoon revealed lots of scappy small fish that gave a good account of themselves on light 5 wt rods. Weather was changeable over the three days but 35 fish still hit the net. Highlights included Ron getting his truck stuck (4 wheel drive next year) , the flounder at the local pub and  we had our Scots member Martin Smith with us.

On the way back to Rotorua the Ngaruroa and Rangitaiki Rivers were all fished successfully.

Over all a very social trip and one for the calender next year.

A big thanks to Larry Ware.

Below are some of the images captured on this trip

Seven club members departed for Patangata to stay at the  Hastings Anglers club rooms. Larry and  Byran decided to get in quick session before the main group arrivied and landed 2 nice fish within the first 10 mins. This boded  well for the next two days.

On  Saturday Billy, Tony and Jim headed upstream while Larry and Bryan headed downstream. (The ladies held the fort) The days tally was a respectable 31 fish.

On Sunday Larry, Bryan and Jim fished the Ngaruroro, Taruarau and also the Rangitikei River on the way home adding more fish to the weekends tally.

A wonderful weekend thanks to Larry.

Below are some of the images Larry captured during this stunning weekend.

The club fishing trip to Lake Rotomahana was changed to Lake Rotoehu due to the summer fire restrictions. Despite a dismal forecast 10 members decided to take their chances and some 40 something trout were landed and many lost. Below are some images from this day.  Thank you Peter West for a  great day.
