Got away to the Canterbury high country for the last week of the season.
Didn't fish much as hunting mornings and evenings so lake fishing was pretty dead during the middle of the day.
Lots of salmon in the head of the river so didn't see a lot of trout there either. But did catch this 9 lb ( 4kg ) brown jack.
It was like lifting a brick off the bottom after the first strong run and a few acrobatics he just sat on the bottom and it took a lot of pressure to lift him free.
Then a nice slow steady drift with a hell of a lot of pressure on him to gently steer into the net of a waiting mate / photographer.Attachment 48866
