Thanks guys, trout of that size don't get caught all that often in the rivers up my way.. As you stated huckleberry, they're very wily.

Well done Adrian - Congratulations on a great fish and as always, a great report. Certainly would have given you setup a work out. Yes it certainly tested the lightweight trout gear out Russell, I wasn't all that confident of landing it at one stage & very relieved once it was in the net. cheers Ad...

How many years you have been participating Adrian?
Great collection there.
I've done it once years ago, it was fun to set a goal and a challenge.

This will be my 11th year in a row Sebb.

Thanks Russell, the weather is going to be good and the rivers are at a nice wading height too, all I have to do is land a decent size trout from
a river..
cheers
Adrian
