First Trout of Many?
OK, so it's not the very first trout of the season, but it's the first one on a fly in a high country river...
Grunta worked on it for about 45 minutes, while the kids played noisily about 20 meters upstream. Not you usual scenario, normally with that mouch noise she would've been long-gone. This one just kept feeding on nymphs happily, so I couldn't resist having a crack.
A shade over 2lb, it's not exactly a trophy, but the kids were stoked (and so was I after having a maiden on opening day) so we pulled out Grandad Thompson's 'priest, banged her on the head and took her home.
