Fishing Pukaki Canal

Softbaiting just below the Pukaki wall at the head of the Pukaki Canal, this lies just north of Twizel, New Zealand. These Canals hold large numbers of Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Salmon. Record fish of up to 40lb can be and often are caught in this Canal system.

A nice video pal. How come you didn't use a net instead of letting those fish flap around on the rocks ??

Also, I once caught a small canal trout w 13 soft baits in it's gut... Needless to say it was emaciated and weak. I'm very careful to put used soft baits in the bin, too many on the bank these days.

If you're going to release the fish, you should really use a net, that way the fish at least has a chance of survival. I know it's hard when by yourself and the rocks are slippery tho.
