    Well I had clearly exhausted all my attempts with multiple lures
    So I attached a fly or (monkey)
    These trout weren't hungry nek minute one of the threesome broke position and struck my flie,hit hard fought well and landed

    Well done Dundee. I would have thought that a black zebra was a bit big to tie to the line and cast.
