You don't get much for free nowadays, but last weekend te awamutu fish and game ran a free bus from te awamutu to nongataha trout fish hatchery for parents,guardians and children over the age of five. This was a full day trip and the kids were all given a tour of the hatchery, and following this they all caught a trout fly fishing, with the help of the the helpfull and friendly fish and game officers. Most of the f and g people there were giving their time for free. The weather was great, and the trout hungry. I took sakoboy along for the day, and like the rest of the kids he too scored himself a decent trout for a five year old. All the children had to pay five dollars for a day licence just to keep it legal. There we many excited and Happy kids, running about showing off their, for most first ever trout.. After lunch with time to spare we all headed up to the blue lake to fill in the rest of the day. A few of the kids enjoyed the water while the rest played on the beach, even a couple of the adults went for a quick dip, the water temp was still to low to really stay in for long, even tho it was quite a warm and sunny day. It was an outstanding day and everyone had a enjoyable time. Thanks to dave for driving the bus and getting us back by five thirty. Cheers to te awamutu fish and game.
