    that's a bloody beauty, well done. If you catch to many GOOD trout, try bottling them, they are fantastic.

    Late Season Stonker!

    PB on the fly rod and likely so for trout.
    Can't get enough of the Blue Duns or Adams favourites

    Did my first trip to the Tekapo canals, interesting experience and learn't heaps. Trying for a Salmon for my lovely wife, no luck on the salmon but landed and released three trout. Nothing huge but for my first ever trip there and softbaiting I was pretty happy.

    Dropped three this arvo walking the dog. Never expected any of them. Need to focus on the job at hand. If the weather isn't shite tomorrow might just leave the hound at home and look for some more winter trout
