The best time of day for trolling is generally the period between first light and sun up. It is a good idea to start trolling the lake on the side the sun will hit first. Then when the sun hits the water cross over and fish the shaded side before it too is in full sunlight.
Luminous trout flies Doll Fly
Rainbows are particularly curious of lumo flies as are landlocked salmon in the Canterbury high country. Brown trout will also take lumo flies and lures.

Hope's Silvery
Searun browns come into the tidal reaches chasing the huge abundance of silveries which also arrive at this time of year. Trout caught often disgorge silveries when lifted from the water - their stomachs packed to overflowing.

Silicon trout flies
How to make Silicon Trout Flies
I mitations employing the use of RTV silicon rubber sealant are possibly the easiest of all fishing flies to create. The silicon rubber comes in 75gm tubes and is available from most leading hardware stores and service stations. I've done a bit of messing around with this stuff and have found the best method of making them is as follows.

Plucky old trout lures
Old Tackle: Flopy and Plucky
The Plucky was a popular casting lure sold in New Zealand from the early 1950s until the late 60s. Few examples of this great fishing catching lure have survived down the years. Older readers as sure to remember it well. It was however a lure that was reasonably expensive in it's day.

Lake Brunner Rainbow Trout
Lake Brunner Trout Fishing
Lake Brunner is situated on the main highway between Canterbury and Greymouth via Arthur's Pass. It is a large lake being some 10 kms across at its widest point. Brunner is also quiet deep (over 100 metres in parts) and drops off rapidly around much of the shoreline. Set in spectacular bush-covered mountains it is a scenic delight.

Canterbury Lures
Canterbury Lures
Canterbury has its angling traditions in a similar way to the Taupo region of the North Island. Going back as much as 100 years ago anglers were fishing the lower reaches of the Selwyn, Rakaia, and Rangitata Rivers for trout with big flies that were tied in a bulky manner to imitate the silveries, bullies, and whitebait.
