She's restricted to G Loomis when fly fishing due to the Shimano thing so the gear is $$$$ but some pretty impressive results. Both these fish taken on egg pattern and rod was NRX 9" 6wt

I should have gone said hi when we got to Twizel on Wed Got away with a day and a bit and was almost convinced the big fish pics were a deep fake by the local tourism board. That was until I saw a guy pull out a salmon of about 6-7kg just 10min before I got picked up. First fish I'd seen landed by anyone.
