Upper Manawatu Fishing

I went for a look at the Manawatu River, just out of Woodville. The river was clear and low, with large slow moving pools between small riffles and runs. Almost immeadiately I began to see trout. The sun was shining and the wind was light which made the spotting pretty easy.

I was fishing with a spin rod (my fly rod on order didn't arrive as expected) and the trout weren't interested in my lures.. I had about 5 or so follows, including one half hearted nibble, but mostly the trout were chasing away my lure rather than trying to eat it...

Oh well..
