First cast an 200mm fingerling, smallest trout I have caught on a fly rod. Half an hour later a 4.5lb Hen, thought it was a Jack in the dark, wasn't till I got home to fillet it that I saw eggs. Bummer!.

That's a bugger GA. Smoked roe then?
I have never done it, was always thinking of doing it, anyone else done trout roe? Would imagine it being very rich.

Back in the 70's an old Maori fella that regularly fished the lower reaches of the Waitahanui river gave me a tip on "local knowledge".
He was catching fish, I wasn't. :(
He said here young fella try one of these, handing me his fly wallet.
I said, Which one is good for here?
He said, Doesn't matter they all work.
I opened his fly wallet to find several streamer fly's inside, mostly different coloured rabbits, all were quite sticky.
Sandwiched in between these fly's was a good sized piece of dried Roe.
I picked a fly, tied it on, and was hauling in fish before I knew it. :thumbsup:
Seems the "Local Knowledge" worked for me too.
