Fly fishing in New Zealand; monster trout battle



Fly fishing for trout in New Zealand at 6am Somewhere, far, far away, in a small stream hidden in a the remote kiwi wilderness, a monster trout stirs, blissfully unaware of the international stardom awaiting it… A flinch for the pheasant tail nymph and a battle ensues as Olly the otter clutches the camera and Dougie the Nose heaves on his splint of graphite (also known as sting)! Eventually a huge trout comes to the net, albeit in an unorthodox fashion!

    Hi Siggilce,

    Thanks for the message. I am waiting for winter to go away too. I guess you are in the Northern Hemisphere. I have been very tempted to fly South, maybe next winter….

    Cheers
