Autumn can be a great time to fish for trout near Queenstown New Zealand for many reasons and one of them can be the last of the cicadas left in the back country. They have darkened right off to almost black and on a nice hot afternoon if you hear the odd one still chirping away it can be a great option to run past a trout as they are still zoned into that as a food source and being such a big morsel of food a trout may find it hard to resist.
Fishing a small beaded streamer as a nymph can also induce strikes from fish that are not responsive to anything else. Try not using a indicator and watch the fish, strike went it finishes the sideways movement or if you feel a knock or tug, tug back.
