Taponga River



Date: 4-5 March 2017
Weather: Suny
Crew: Toon
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: Green celta spinners, tassie devil, rapala jointed
Gear Used: Shimano Stradic Ci4 2500, 1-3kg shimano raider
Catch: 1 Brown
Report: Rivers at this section saw too many big and deep pools. Fished every corner of them but no hits. Moved from the trusty green celta to a pink/purple tassie devil. Those are shit to use. I need to figure it out, they have a weird action, doesnt look natural. Couldnt bend it to improve, was too stiff. Need to work that one out. Ended up trying the rapala jointed just to play around with. Was awesome to cast, nice light weight balsa can hit spots with ease. Retrieve action beautiful. Ended up walking up stream for a small hour, to a running section, then out of the blue got hit by a nice sized brown on the rapala to my surprise. Afterwards saw some small redfin interested in the rapala but they were too small to engulf it. Fun times still. 
Report: 6/10
