Trout for Breakfast..anyone?

Ahh, nothin like living in the rat race. I got up this morning at 5:35, hopped on the bike and was fishing before 06:00. I hooked two, and landed one - both on a size 14 pheasant tail nymph - home by 7:00 am for breakfast!

Both trout were in the 2- 2 1/2 pound range

The escapee benefited from a poorly tied knot.

Condition on the local population of rainbows appears to be generally quite poor at this end of the season, due to them appearing to be still in the throes of spawning.

I still haven't seen a brown trout on the Twizel river, although I've only fished 200 m of it so far.
