My mother has a brown trout mounted that was caught by her in the pomahaka river when I was 7 years old. It is one of my great childhood memories that fish. It went 9 & 3/4 pd whole.
Her fish has held the family trout record for 42 years but it has now been broken by my 7 year old. I can't tell you how special that is for both me and her. [emoji3]
Amazing !!

Took my old man (visiting from Oz) out for a cast up the Wairau on Friday morning. I've caught a few along the river in the past five years but always released them to fight another day, safe to say though my luck on finding spots you can walk to and reliably catch something has been fickle.
This hen absolutely inhaled the spinner and gill-hooked itself, was bleeding badly turning belly up by the time it was in the net so that's the first trout I've taken home to eat since moving to NZ in 2018. Long time coming and still a good day on the river with the greybeard.
Few more and I might start recovering the costs of my fishing licenses...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4d559c705a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8dc7360455.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8b5d7884f4.jpg

Been a long time since I've been out, took a mate for his first proper river trout, he managed to snag a nice one on a softbait that I designed and made the molds for.Attachment 241962
Here's what they look like, I'm pretty happy with them

They look great. How do I get some?:D
Flick me a PM and I'll get some heading your way, I still need to refine them a bit but you can give them a crack as is if you wantQuote:
