Fishing Friend From Far Away In Ozz 
Andy Baxter You Are Missed Thanks For The Fishing Friendship Good To See Some Big Troots From New Zealand

Hi there.
Just returned from New Zealand. These pics were taken on the banks of the Hinemaiaia which runs into lake Taupo. I was fishing 4lb leader (had to go up to 5 lb on 2nd day as I got broken twice the first day) We fished 6 days during the two weeks. First 3hrs or last 3hs of day light. During  the 6 days  I hooked 54 trout landed 32 and got broken 3 times ( never even saw these 3) The smallest landed was 4lb the biggest 10.25lbs . All taken on glow bug size16 on tail or hair and copper Immature on dropper it was size 14. I only killed 2 trout. John Black smoked them and they were great.  Smoking was done with tea tree sawdust and apple tree chips. We are now back in the warmer weather on the Gold Coast. Hope you are all well talk to you soon.

All the best from one  rather  excited old trout fisher
