Day 1 saw some good fish to hand on a #14 brass bead-head nymph. Although we release the vast majority of fish, this one of Ben’s supplied a nice entree that night.

Day 2 belonged to Peter, with the only single day trifecta of the season – one on the wet, one on the nymph and one on the dry.

This is Peter with his hands full on the dry fly take. Result was a beautiful wild brown trout around the 1.5lb mark, an excellent small stream fish.

Day one of Grant’s return tour set a new mark for the season and it was not yet November!

He got 14 to hand with some lovely small stream gems on light gear like this one, above.

Then next day more fun in some tight spots leading to success on the dry (emerger again) on another water.

Simon was back for another couple of days on our Tassie streams and was soon into his first wild brown trout on day one.

This one was taken on the dependable copper beadhead brown nymph. Even though still October, fish were taking the dry by afternoon.
