Mate if you start getting
Mate if you start getting upset about idiots on perthnow you'll never die happy.
The website is full of trolls and thumbsuckers.
It may be a public news site but the total anonymity it allows provides all sorts of idiots a soapbox to rant from.

your not getting my point
your not getting my point...... ruby.
the point is we already have enough of a "bad image" with the governenment/greenies comments like that on a public thread doesnt help. Fishwrecked promotes catch and release, fish handeling etc etc, but when these are ona public forum for everyone to read........thats my point.

I get your point but most
I get your point but most rational individuals doesn't take to heart all they read on perthnow.
An article to do with mining ends up one with someone slagging FIFO workers, another article about Out of control parties will blame Woolies liquor for having too big discounts and so on. There are plenty of active trolls that post deliberately inciteful comments, this one may even be the work of one of those cretins.
If these comments were posted up on a fishing site, such as those that are sometimes put forward about sharks, then I would definately be agreeing with you.
The sad fact is there is a % of the fishing population that take undersize and over limit fish, stab and maim stingrays and sharks and leave rubbish everywhere (Not always at the same time). There are facebook pages and greeny websites that illustrate these issues without needing to use some anonymous idiot's claim of stabbing stingrays as evidence.

why dont you get your facts
why dont you get your facts right buddy.......the main spawning systems were closed off before i even got here. Secondly the fish spawn for 4 months. with different systems requring water flow. Third do you fish the pinkie spawning aggs? or the dhuie spawning aggs? your a idiot mate.....feel free to PM.
and when the hell do i talk about spawning fish, im regarding the quotes about killing sting rays.....Management of fisheries is here is how they protect the spawning fish, just like we do with the pinkie bans. Im not braking the laws,i adhere to all the regulations and rules and fish the back contry that is only open to this date( the rest shuts 30th of june) here just like home. plus all fish were released in respect to spawning time of year.
get your facts right,Dont get me started. enough said. You have missed the point incredibly.

At the risk of making you
At the risk of making you even agrier i will quote you directly
"the point is we already have enough of a "bad image" with the governenment/greenies comments like that on a public thread doesnt help"
The point is legal or not, fly or spin, fishing for fish that are paired up for spawning is bad form.
They are are in those water getting getting their freak on with each other. When you get a bit more experience you will come the realisation that flyfishing for trout is about more that catching as many easy fish as you can. But, because you are still new to it, i will forgive your ignorance.

Aaron, please you might as
Aaron, please you might as well submit to the government of NZ to close of taupo, and all of the river systems feeding off it for spawning, you might as well close of the waganui,awakino,wappaua, etc etc..please i ask you to start a petition, in fact why dont you just start to petition to close of all river fishing for trout for april - aug at the minimum. Do i see you putting your hands up to? i bet you have fished for spawning fish running up the systems to spawn many of times. If not dont say you have fished at all NZ during the winter months as that is just bull s***. what about the salmon fishing on the south island? when they do there spawning run up south island river systems, have you fished that? ha!
you and i know both know what backlash they willget, the NZ make enough money for management of there fishery with their license system.
You and i also both know, that it is still a tad to earliey for rainbows to be "properly" spawning and all the browns i have came across havnt been in pairs or i spooked them far to early. Get a grip mate i fish with a guide(a very wll known one all through taupo, and is well known through alll kings country etc etc) who promotes catch and release and repecting where we fish , where we go and wont keep breeders full stop. In fact all my larger browns/rainbows i have released sucesfully back into nature to do there thing, due to we get them into the shores green as , for a far better chance of releasing, and just a point to proove how mcuh he is about sustainable fish stocks, hes fished the taupo area for 40 + years and takes the rich and famous to get there trophey 12 + pound rainbows and browns, and flat out refuses to let them kill them for taxidemery, in fact he takes measurements, weights of the fish, photos and gets these french local artist to paint life like sculputres of the fish scale to scale.
" When you get a bit more experience you will come the realisation that flyfishing for trout is about more that catching as many easy fish as you can. But, because you are still new to it, i will forgive your ignorance." i quote you, your right its not about catching as many fish as you can, its the about where you fish, the isolation of where you fish, the serenity,the location, the prestince landscapes, the time you put in for that one small hook up and just the satisfaction of that, the nature you come across. Im sorry "Aaron" i have had a good run of fishing here,jealousy sucks.(and no the main fishing i have done, has been in larger systems with trouth mooving up to spawn, oh what you will find something to have a go at me for that) Get a grip with yourself your trying to ruin someones joy and satisfaciton of experiencing a new style fo fishing, and the love for the wilderness and is eperiencing a life that you obivously either once had or wish you had. Ive done nothing wrong, in fact I have kept just 3 fish this entire time.
Please tell me:
Ever sambo jigged the breeding aggrigations of perth?
Ever hit the pinks spawning aggrigations before the ban?
Ever hit the migrating Aussie salmon heading up the west coast?
Ever hit up any demercal aggiration of dhues etc in the deeps offshore for breeding?
Ever hit up the south island for the annual salmon run into the rivers for breeding?
there is no differnce to what i have done, to any of these, so please keep having a go at me, you might as well be taking it to all of the fish wrecked community then.
Go back to you donger (not having a dig at anyone living in dongers,i have done mine site work for years, more of FEW AND FAR BETWEEN kiwis getting all shitty that some ones enjoy life over there, where they think they should be) and keep dreaming sunshine. Your just one of those whinging pricks trying to ruin something for some one having a great time while doing the right thing as well. P*** off mate, as i said keep this off a public forum, PM ME if you want to keep going. If not F*** off out my thread.

Im not trying to ruin
Im not trying to ruin anything for you. Im also not trying to shut down the taupo fishery.
I thought the thread was about stupid comments on public wesites that give fishers a bad name. I hate hypocracy and will call it whenever I see it. You put your comment up on a NZ website about targetting fish that are paired up and see what reaction you get.
Guess you only allow people on your threads that agree with you on everything huh?

not really aaron.. once
not really aaron.. once again you have avoided half the questions i asked, as you know what the answers will be. Every man and his dog fishing right now for trout is fishing for spawning fish its as simple as that.
i asked you to PM this , so it doesnt fill the thread up with a argument between two people, but you dont. You want to proove me wrong. Post all you want Aaron it is a public forum, but i asked you in a polite manner to sort this VIA PM, but you choose not too. And mate this thread is about stupid comments, and your comparing myself to some douche bag,and i have taken offence to this. I pride myself in my fishing and have been fishing since i was 5 yrs old. that is my problem. Im all for constructive criticsm, but your not doing that, nor are you taking in any of my points bar your own. which are wrong.
So tell me again:
Have you ever fish the pinks spawaning before the ban? The aussie salmon run up the coast? Have you ever fished winter time here in NZ? have you ever fish the south island salmon run? please answer me this, we will see who the hypercrite is, i think thats why you have avoided them
its all exactly the same. and thats that. Your acting like i have killed every fish i have seen(which i asically have prmoted catch and release) and your also actling like im the only one fishing the trouth right now, That one afternoon, we came across a couple of pairs, i failed miserbaly at it, read the thread, and we came across other locals fishing the exact same stream.You keep finger pointing at me, but realistically its the guide taking me to places like this, and hes that much into his fly fishing, i have alot of respect for his knowledge about the NZ trouts.Do you want his email?maybe take it up with him? ha. tellme what the difference is when your fishing the larger systems with 100's of kiwis already fishing it, dropping into the deep pools your not pullling pairs out of there? just cause you cant "see". Your not understanding my point, i would take in what you say if you could happly admit to me that you stop all fishing for anything as soon as the trout are running in the streams (from april onwoods), or any of the other spawning aggregations i have brought up. But i can guarentee you have, hence why you avoid the answers.
Get over it, and in fact im on a NZ fishing web site.Why dont you post on a NZ forum about your feeling for banning all trout fishing in the winter, due to there spawaning runs,because thats what your point is saying or on here to ban all aggregation fishing. I have broken no rules, nor has anyone else unless there fishing closed off areas of the bans. so sorry buddy. once again feel free to PM, this debate is just going backwars and forwards. Im off for a little bit.
There is NO DIFFERENCE to what i did that one afternoon,to people jigging the sambo breeding ags here, nor the pinks spawning in the sound before the ban, nor the aussie salmon run, but more importantly, the stream we went up comes off the tungaro in turangi, and i was there last sunday just gone(the tungaro), and there would of been KIWI fly fisherman in every pool possible, oh wait you consider fish sitting in pools, waiting for the water level to rise, to get up higher in the altitudes not spawning fish,which is a joke. I have never fished any of the back country that is closed off and you need to get over it.
keep hiding behind a computer.

Yep the perrthnow comments
Yep the perrthnow comments section is infamous for peolpe (loosely termed) to have a say on something they have no idea about, the anonymity it provides is a great way to get the reaction the paper wants and generate some angst and buy in from those it affects. Just viewing it creates the numbers and justification for the paper. From what I can tell (and this is only anecdotal) the rec fishing fraternity and it's concern with it's management of Western Australia is well ahead of many of those in other many other countries.
The view expressed in this post is that of a self opinionated bullshitter and does not reflect that of this website, it's owners, mediators, other members or anyone else for that matter :-P

Not having a go at you Terboz but I think you need to get over it. Fishermen are regarded as rednecks anyway by anyone with a green tinge. Just forget that crap.We all know it's bullshit.

Not to be picky, but if you
Not to be picky, but if you ask anyone who's been diving under Ammo jetty in the last couple of months they will also make mention of the number of dead rays under that jetty. I have seen at least 4 dead rays. One with both wings taken, one with only one wing taken, and two with the tails cut off and that was it.

and youll find those dead rays because some people have a total
disregard for this creature's life and only want a trophy for their own exploits.....sad really when that is all you live for......
