I've been trout fishing rivers/streams since 1965 and 98% of my trout have been caught on the Mepps inline spinners, I always practice catch & release of all the trout too. The only ones kept are those that have taken the lure deep and bleeding from the gills & that's only three or four trout per season. My average catch per season is 500-600 trout, my best ever trout season was back in 2009-10 Season, ** River Trips: 126.. Total Fish caught: 1167 brown trout. 89 rainbow trout. To me, there's nothing better than fishing the rivers/streams for trout, from time to time I also use small hard body lures as well.

Small stream trout fishing
Переглядів 202Місяць тому
This trip was in late January when the Cormorants started to invade the rivers in large numbers. Thankfully this trip to a small stream was worth it with a few tannin water trout being caught & released before the Cormorants increased in big numbers in it as the season went on. Don't forget to change your settings HD for better viewing. Thanks for watching & stay safe in/on the water. cheers Ad...
Trout on jointed hard body lure
Переглядів 1362 місяці тому
This is another of my early season trout sessions when I had to use a jointed hard body lure, I also came across a large mass of Caddis Moths on the river which was good to see. The conditions were cool & the river a little on the high side, good thing was the fact I did catch & release a few (5) medium size wild brown trout. Enjoy the musical photo slideshow at the end of the video, Thanks for...
It's back to the fastwaters.

This was a follow up trip back to the same stretch of river that I fished six days earlier. The river level was a little higher than the last trip, thankfully I still managed to catch & release a few trout on the Mepps inline spinners. Thanks for watching and stay safe on or in the water. Cheers Adrian (meppstas)

With the trout season closed until early August I still have a few of my 2023/24 trout season fishing videos left over. This one goes back to mid January just before the Cormorants arrived here in Tasmania. It was a tough few hours chasing trout during this trip too, thanks for watching & enjoy the musical photo slideshow at the end. cheers Adrian (meppstas) tackletactics.com.au/Tips-Techniques...

You did well mate, thanks for sharing
Thanks for your positive comments, they are very much appreciated. It was a good spin session in what was tough waters to fish & very glad you enjoyed the video. 👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Hi Adrian, i always seem to have better luck on the gold with blue dots mepps comet, i find the comet has better action in the water than the aglia
Hi Jack, yes I have a few of the small #00 Comet spinners that I in the small streams from time to time, the Aglia blade works well (as do the Bug spinners) for me when fishing the fast flowing runs due to the larger blade rotating at a wider angle than the narrow Comet & Black Fury blades. Like I say to a lot of spin fishers here in Tassie, stick with what you catch fish on & are happy with, at times I have to regularly chop & change lures when the the trout are fussy. Eventually one lure will get them on the take, many times during a spin session trout will take one the lure. Tight lines Jack, Cheers Adrian (meppstas)
@@adrianwebb7399 Thanks for the reply Adrian 👍
@@lazyjack1 Not a problem Jack..👍👍
Nice fishing rrip Adrian and a few good ones in the net too mate, enjoyed the watch, thanks, thumbs up and greetings,, Tony,
Hi Tony, it wasn't a bad trip overall with quite a few (8 all up) trout caught during the time I spent in the small stream, I really love fishing the small streams because they are so peaceful and I often come across a Platypus from time to time as well which makes my day even better..Always good to hear from you mate, take care & stay in good health.👍👍 Cheers Adrian
@@adrianwebb7399 Eight fish is pretty good Adrian and it is good to be out, fish and enjoy the day mate, tight lines and have a great weekend.
@@waikarimoana I was happy with catching & releasing 8 fish too, look after yourself Tony & have a good weekend as well mate.. 👍👍
Hi Adrian, Crackin video mate, Can i ask what you have on your line above the spinner? is it just a swivel, cheers
Hi Jack, Thanks for tuning in mate, it's an anti-kink which helps to stop line twist when using fine ultra thin 4 lb mono line with inline spinners, you can see the details & photo of the setup on the following site. tackletactics.com.au/Tips-Techniques/Adrian-Webbs-Trout-Tips/Summer-Trout-Tips-with-Mepps cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Put a fly on spinning for trout is skill less and damages their mouth in Scotland its called mugging.
Well, everyone is entitled to their opinions, I've seen plenty of trout caught on a fly that have had mouth, gill damage & poorly handled, as for spin fishing for trout as being skill less I don't agree with that at all. Many of the rivers/streams that I fish have a lot of tight waters where accuracy is a must & all my trout are released for another day. Also one still has to find the right inline spinner that will get a trout to take it, just like the fly fisher has to select the right fly on the day. For me it's not just casting a lure into a river/stream and reeling it in, it's also knowing how to read a river and know where the trout are. So I don't really care what spin fishers are called in Scotland by the fly fisher's or anywhere else. 👍 cheers Adrian
@@adrianwebb7399 I understand your defensive take on this and I do not mean to offend but I was a spinner once and you do not know what you are missing - you read the river the hatch and conditions with a fly and NO-ONE can defend treble hooks and the weight of metal bashing into fly sippers mouths its a no contest fly hooks are way kinder. Spinning for trout imo should be banned. In Scotland it is.
@@scottthefunkRedPill So what you're actually saying is that the rivers/streams & lakes should be for the fly fisher's only and that's it. Sorry but we have enough fly fishers water only here in Tasmania, it will never be banned here anyway as the Inland Fisheries would go broke.. anyway, we've both had our say and our opinions are different, but that's life.
@@adrianwebb7399 Fair play my comments refer to the UK - I respect your position there and I know us fly fisherman seem a little aloof plz try it if you haven't the fight is amazing. I once upon a time used night lines never mind spinners I am 57yrs old and I am surrounded by spinners who have never tried fly because they do not want to learn lol Good luck and tight lines have a good day too.
@@scottthefunkRedPill No worries mate, I did try fly fishing way back in the 1960's in South Australia but couldn't afford to go on with it so went to the Mepps spinners, I'm not all that far off 79 years of age now & have five damaged discs in my lower back & not sure how much longer I can continue to fish the rivers. Our trout season opened back on the 3rd August and I am yet to wet a line due to the lower back pain. I appreciate you comments and hope you continue to have success with your fly fishing, take care in the rivers/streams and have a good day as well.. cheers Adrian
Great spot! Great vid!
Good day Allan, it's certainly a great spot to fish, it's a stretch of river that normally fishes a lot better than it did on this trip, too many hooked & lost fish didn't help either. Glad you enjoyed the video as well mate, take care & stay safe chasing those Bass etc.. Cheers Adrian
The new rig works very well Adrian and a few good looking Trouts in the net too mate, 12 hookups was great and trund out to be a nice day too.Enjoy the day with you, thanks, thumbs up and greetings from NZ,, Tony.
Hi Tony, it did turn out to be a reasonable good spin session, very tough on the body but well worth the effort even though I hooked & lost way too many fish, but that's fast water isn't it. Thanks for dropping by mate, it's always appreciated, hopefully I will soon be back in a river.. Take care & stay in good health. cheers Adrian
Good day Adrian, we use the same spinner in our waters too and it work well too mate, nice video, enjoyed the watch, thumbs up and greetings,, Tony.
Hi Tony, yes, the Mepps inline spinners certainly work well on the trout & a variety of other fish species that's for sure. I started using them back in the mid 1960's (in South Australia) and have used them ever since, they have served me well over the past 60 years. Always a pleasure to hear from you mate and stay in good health.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian
Nice job out there!
Thanks Allan, just a starter video for the new trout season this coming Saturday mate..👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Great footage with the new camera Adrian and 300 fish for the season up to now is awesome mate, enjoyed the trip with you, thanks, thumbs up and greetings,, Tony.
Hi Tony, the new camera did really well, it's a nice compact camera & easy to use, reaching the 300th trout was good, it just took a little longer than expected this season, Always good to hear from you mate, take care & stay in good health.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Great stuff
Thanks Vulcan21, It was a good result in the end and I did achieve what I set out to do on that trip..👍 Cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Gratz!!!
Hi Allan, thanks mate, I was pretty happy to finally reach the 300 mark even though it took a lot longer that season than many of my previous seasons..👍 Cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Good day Adrian, great fishing trip this was and a few besauties in the net too mate.Enjoyed the video, thanks, thumbs up and greetings,, Tony.
Hi Tony, always good to hear from you mate, it was a fairly good time spent in the small stream & the trout even though most were small they were in good condition which was good. Stay in good health and keep those lines tight over there in Kiwi Land mate. 👍👍 cheers Adrian
Thunderbug is a great lure! Great vid!
Thanks for tuning in Allan, you're spot on about the Mepps Thunderbug, it is a great lure and it's certainly caught a lot of trout for me during the 2023/24 trout season..👍👍 Cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Nice work as always buddy 🤘🎣
Thanks Jamie, It did turn out to be a fairly good session in the end, we've still around six weeks to go before the next season opens, looking forward to hopefully having a better one mate..👍👍 cheers Adrian
Good day Adrian, it is good to be out and fish a few rivers and landed a few in the net too and enjoy the day mate, thanks for the invite and good to be with you on this trip, thanks, thumbs up and greetings from NZ,, Tony.
Hope you're going along okay Tony and thanks for tuning in mate, after a couple of trout less waters it did turn out to be a good spin session in the end with some nice medium size browns being caught & released. Take care and stay safe when you out there chasing those beautiful big trout over there in Kiwi Land..👍👍 cheers Adrian .
Beautiful fish. Congratulations ❤
Thank you, it fought hard too and was in top condition, I was very happy once I had it in the landing net before I released it for another day..👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Good day Adreian, that was a great fishing trip on a nice river and a few very nice and beautiful fish in the net too.Enjoyed the watch mate, thanks, tight lines and thumbs up from NZ, Tony.
Hi Tony, it was a good trip, one that turned out a little better than expected, the trout were in good condition as well. Always good to hear from you mate, take care & keep those lines tight.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian.
Great vid!!!
Thanks Allan, this trip was a little better than the last one, river level was a little high & fast for my liking, still good to get onto a few trout before the body tired on me. These fastwaters take a toll on the body the longer I'm in them, the effort can be very rewarding, so it's well worth the effort most of the time Allan. Thanks for tuning in & take care on the water Allan..👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Howdy Adrian Looks like the fast water suits you better mate, Prity bloody well Kean mate, Good catch of Fish mate Well Done 👌
Hi Mick, good to hear from you, yes the fast water is where I love to chase the trout, very hard on the body that's for sure especially with five discs in my lower back being in a very poor state. But, it's what I love doing and the day will come when I'll have to give fast water fishing away and just chase trout in the slower flowing runs, hopefully that's a few trout seasons away..😉😉 Thanks for tuning in Mick, take care and stay in good health mate.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian..
So great to see you out on the streams Adrian.
Thank you, there no better place to be that's for sure... 👍👍 cheers Adrian
Nice buddy 🤘🎣
Thanks Jamie, a bit of a tough time in the fastwaters, reasonably good result in the end mate.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian
Great video! Slideshow is very cool!
Hi Allan, I've had better days, thankfully I still managed to catch and release a few trout in the end, glad you enjoyed the slideshow too. 👍👍 cheers Adrian
Good day Agrian, nice day for it and fishing is good, 9 is good one, enjoyed the trip with you mate, thanks, thumbs up and tight lines too,, tony.
Hi Tony, always great to hear from you mate, yes it was a reasonably good spin session and beautiful surrounds to fish in as well. I'm looking forward to the next season too. Thanks for tuning in and stay safe while chasing trout over there in beautiful New Zealand mate..👍👍 cheers Adrain
Great season mate. Some lovely trout and scenery. Cheers!
Thanks Sean, yes it was a reasonably good season, not one of me better ones due to the large influx of Cormorants that hit the rivers, still a good one with over 300 trout caught & released mate.. Glad you enjoyed the video too Sean..👍👍 cheers Adrian..
Good day Adrian, awesome photos and great memories from the last season mate, nice music track to go with it too, enjoy the watch, thanks and thumbs up too.
Hi Tony, thanks for the positive comments mate, I always like to have something to look back on after each trout season closes, this is just the short version, my original one runs for 20 minutes.😊 I''m glad you enjoyed the short video Tony, take care when you're out there chasing trout and keep those lines tight... 👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas) ** PS: I've just finished making two photo books of the 2023/24 trout season as well, something else I do each year..
😮😮
Great vid!!!
It's a great little stream to fish when there's some good flow, it does slow down when the water level drops, a beautiful peaceful place to fish that's for sure, Thanks for tuning in Allan..👍👍 cheers Adrian
That’s a cool place!
Thanks Allan, yes ti's one of my favourite waters to fish, it has died off quite a lot since this trip due to the large influx of Cormorants that have invaded the rivers here in Tasmania.👍👍 cheers Adrian
Beautiful day, nice water and great fishing trip Adrian and a few nice fat ones in the net too mate.Thanks for the show, thumbs up and tight lines,, Tony.
Hi Tony, the water was at a good height and the trout were aggressive which was good, plus there were a few nice size fish caught as well, always appreciate you dropping by mate. Stay safe and keep in good health.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian
What did he say?
What an awesome trip this was Adrian, a real jem was netted too and a few other good ones the same mate, awesome trip, nice water and good fishing trip mate.thanks, thumbs up and greetings from NZ,, Tony.
Thanks a lot for the positive comments on the trip Tony, it was one of my better trips with some nice trout caught & released, the river was at the perfect height too which was good. Look after yourself & stay in good health mate.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian
Wolly Aglia, every time for me!
nice looking water
It's a great little stream that's for sure, a little empty now due to a big influx of Cormorants (shags) in the rivers/streams & lakes. cheers Adrian
Great fishing trip today adrian and a few nice ones in the net too mate, enjoy the trip with you, thanks, thumbs up as always and keep well mate, Tony.
Hi Tony, thanks for tuning in as always mate, it was a reasonably good time in that little stream with some nice medium size trout caught & released. Look after yourself my friend..👍 Cheers Adrian..

Good day Adrian, that was a great fishing trip and a few good looking ones in the net too mate, seven Trout in three or so hours is very good, enjoyed the trip with you, thanks and thumbs up as always with greetings from NZ,, Tony.
Recognise the area well mate. The army worms are in big numbers still.
Yes, it's an area that runs hot & cold on the trout too, as for the army worms they are still around, we've even been hit with them here in Sheffield, thankfully not in real large numbers so far. cheers Adrian
Good day Adrian, nice day for it, great river and fishing is good too and a few nice ones in the net,mate.Great trip, tight lines and greetings,, Tony.
Great job out there! Some great scenery!!!
Thanks Allan, it is a nice scenic river to fish, it was one of my favorite river to fish many years ago, it hasn't fished as good as it used for a few years now which is a shame. The trout are a lot smaller too which is disappointing, still a nice area to spend time at, very peaceful area. Thanks for dropping by mate..👍👍 cheers Adrian
Good day Adrian, nice day for it and good to be out fishing and enjoying the day mate and have a few fish in the net too.enjoyed the video mate, thanks and greetings,, Tony.
Good morning Tony, it's always nice to be in a river chasing trout mate, it was a bit of a mixed catch with several small browns being caught & released but that's to be expected when fishing small streams. Always great to here from you Tony, stay safe & keep those lines tight mate.. 👍 cheers Adrian
Always a pleasure to watch your vids pal, here in uk are rivers are suffering with pollution ,a ban on otter hunting protection given to cormorants and a plague of Eastern European's who eat anything thats left, so watching other like minded fishermen is very welcome tight lines mate.
It looked like a nice day of fishing :)
Good day Adrian, good to be out and enjoy the day on a beautiful day and land a few fish mate, thanks for the trip, thumbs up and greetings,, Tony.
Hi Tony, it's always good to be out and about chasing trout in good conditions & beautiful surrounds, the fish caught are an added bonus to the day. Stay in good health & keep those lines tight mate.. 👍👍cheers Adrian
Sometimes it’s a grind, but just being out there is awesome!
That it is Allan, it's always great to still be able to go fishing that's for sure, we have our god and bad days when fishing. Thanks for tuning in and take care on when your out there fishing too mate.. 👍👍 cheers Adrian (meppstas)
Do you feed them any treats? Or they have enough in their natural habitat? 🌳
Wow, so unique & beautiful ! ❤ Seems like he took them for lunch at your place, enjoying treats from that tree ! Love from USA. Peace and blessings 🕯
Great video mate. I've started seeing them a bit in rural Victoria and they always remind me of seeing them flying around Great Lake as a kid.
Thanks Sean, glad you enjoyed it mate, good to see that they're still around on the mainland as well, I think they're on endangered species list too..cheers Adrian..
What a beautiful bird Adrian, great footage mate, thanks and thumbs up too, have a great day.
