Dog did it all She chased it from Rapids to this little sidling Got it to ankle deep then held it with her paws I only had time to drop rod and run up to claim the catchNot taking her fishing again

    Is that a legal method? Genuine question as I don't chase mud fish

    Good question as it wasn't caught with a rod and reel, is it classed as foul hooked, perhaps a more astute trout fisherman could answer that question . It did however just seem to land at my feet, and went down well as a shared dinner

    I would be surprised if it was legal by definition, but if it was taken by a licenced angler I wouldn't be too fussed. It is still not what you would call cricket though.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    That fish flesh looks like mudfish.

    Hawkes Bay trout for comparison

    Nice and tidy filleting job as well mate.
    Our browns down here can be a pale colour unless sea run.
    I usually only see orange flesh like that on rainbows in the back country or salmon. I don't target trout normally. Kids love catching them tho.

    Definitely not a cricket, but a brown trout...
