Paringa, West Coast

My PB Brown Trout! Absolutely chuffed - 65cm. I realise for locals who've been fishing in NZ for years, this is a long way off how big they can get. But for someone here only 2 months so far, I was delighted! Best fight I've had whilst fishing & so stoked to land this big male.

Great day for catching Browns on the stunning Moeraki River (South Island, NZ). Managed to lose the first 3 I hooked! Thought I was in for a stinker but then followed up by landing 3. This was the best of the lot.

Beautiful Brown Trout in New Zealand. I've just made the move to live & work at Lake Moeraki on the South Island. Stunning spot & the fishing is out of this world. So many beautiful browns who love to bite & love a fight. Very excited to get stuck into it all summer. Salmon run is coming soon too!
