Waitahanui Browns

Angela with a Waitahanui Brown taken on a nymph. We came across quite a few which were not intrersted in our offerings, turning away and slowly cruising of to the cover under the banks much to our frustration. In one pool we came across a dozen or so. I couldn't believe our luck, bound to get one of these. About a fly box later we had to admit defeat , move on and try and find a unsuspecting fish . It was coming towards the end of our 1/2 day, we had some fish in our sights. Pin point accurracy was required for the cast , Angela was doing a great job for her first time fly fishing but couldn't quite get the fly to where it needed to be. Let me have a cast I said as we were ready to go. Sure enough the indicator plunged under, I lifted the rod and came up solid, quickly handed the rod to Angela who did a great job playing the fish which took about 10 mins to land. Webster took some great photos and the brownie was released woundering just what the hell just happend .

Brett, Thanks for a great day of fishing. We had so much fun. Even though we had never gone fly fishing before you had us casting in no time. We can't wait to come back.
