The Hinemaiaia Rainbow - Central North Island Fly Fishing

Описание: A quick trip to the Lake Taupo area was called for. I remembered a spot on the Hinemaiaia River that I fished twice before. Both times I hooked and lost a decent fish. I decided to try and find that spot again and redeem myself if possible. Enjoy.

The equipment that caught this fish as follows:
The rod is a Loomis & Franklin IM12 11' #3 weight.
The reel is a Sage ESN.
The fly line is an Airflo SLN Euro Nymph Comp Special.
The leader is 30' 12 lb mono, to 10' of 3X Fluorocarbon to the point fly.
I tie my own Euro flies. I usually only use two patterns all year. Both are linked here    • Pheasant Tail Nymph - Version 2.0   tied on a size 14 or 10 Barbless jig hook with a 3.0 or 4.5mm slotted bead. The other is this one    • Generic Soft Hackle Nymph - Version 2.0   tied on a size 14 or 10 barbless jig hook with a size 3.0 or 4.5mm slotted bead. On this day I was also continuing to test a small, weighted Pheasant Tailed nymph on the dropper tag. I have tied a few to test using three different methods. I will continue testing until I can confirm the effectiveness and durability of this pattern. Then I will publish a tying video.

Filming equipment as follows:
