Most Trout caught in rivers & streams..

Post by meppstas » Sun Aug 20, 2017 12:23 pm

Well we finally had our Angling Club Trophy night & dinner Saturday night and I was lucky enough to take out the trophy again for the most trout caught in rivers & streams for the 2016-17 trout season.. Winning it again made it 11 years in a row now which I was pretty happy with as I thought I was in for a tough trout season.. So it just goes to show that it doesn't matter how old you are if you put the time and effort into what you know best, then the rewards will follow in the end.. :thumbsup: Doing my hammy in early this season is going to make the 2017-18 a challenging one as I think I'm still out of the rivers for two more weeks at this stage.. :down: I have more physio next Thursday and I've been doing the stretching and strengthening exercises so I'm going to see if I can maybe, just maybe get back in a river after next Thursday.. :notworthy: I'm itching to get back in that's for sure, then again I don't want to rush back too early and go back to square one and be out for another three or more weeks either.. :)

cheers

You need to be awarded a trophy for winning it 11 consecutive years! :icon_lolz:

Well done Adrian, wonderful achievement and recognition for your dedication. Was there an award for great reports!

11 years straight is a stunning effort Adrian (although hardly surprising given your amazing reports!).

Ah Hammies! I reckon I've done mine close to fifty times to varying degrees. Perils of not taking enough time to recover and thinking you are younger than you actually are! Look after yourself.

Thanks guys, no there wasn't an award for making the 11 years in a row or for my trout reports either ;-) thought there may have been one last year when I reached ten.. :-D :-D
I may have the mind of a 25 year old at times when fishing, but the body is getting closer to 72 and I never think of it being that age and that's half my problem sometimes, well most times I think.. :oops:
Most anyone have ever won was 6 trophies in total, they weren't in a row.. So I'm pretty stoked of what I have achieved over the years anyway... :P

cheers

Well done Adrian, congrats, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Nice work there
How is it judged...do you take pics off all the trout before you release them?

Cheers bm
