Wow another Kiwi, or maybe you're turned Aussie nowadays, don't blame you the way we play Rugby lately.
Was in Southland this week, doing a big 4WD trip. Waikaia-Roxborough-Duntroon. Great trip.
Regards

RE: Brown Trout pics
Tim,
Nice photos.
You folks are lucky to have some awesome looking country down there.
Here in Boise we have brown trout in the river which runs through town, they have been caught up to 20lbs. My largest is a 5 pounder.
Nice looking fish, great colors.
Here in Idaho we concentrate on the steelhead and Salmon.
The runs have been good the last couple years, with steelhead up to 20lbs and salmon up to 40lbs.
The Salmon River which runs through the middle of Idaho is the main fishing river.
I don't get up there much as I spend my winters hunting for coyotes mainly and catching up on my honeydos from being gone all the time during the fall off on hunting trips.
Keep the photos coming!

RE: Brown Trout pics
Tim,
I am jealous of you lads down there, but we have a few nice spring creek browns of our own........
This is one of my better ones. I never did put a tape to him before releasing, but I'd guess a solid 25" and probably 6 lbs.
(Not sure if it's of any reference but I'm 6'3" tall)
Caught on an 8 ft #4 Winston IM6 and a Shenk's Black Sculpin. You should have seen the bend in that little rod.....side-pressure!!![:-]

Great fish on a 4 weight rod Matt. I got 2 26" rainbows one day on my 3 weight but only because I was in one of the few slow moving rivers around here. Most of the mountian streams around here run so fast if you get a fish that size on a light weight rod not much chance to keep up
