Trout

Tripping down memory lane fishing the Tongariro River today. Catch and release this was a spawning fish caught on nymph. Amazing day!

@kgolab Oh Keren releasing the trout too was a pleasure. Still bubbling of a total catch of 8 and releasing them

A great image - well done on such a good day.

Are you allowed to keep just one?

[Jon Lip]

Well done - a beautiful fish.

@dide Many thanks Dianne

@777margo Margo yes you can keep I think 6 trout a day not sure it may be 8, but to put them back means restocking the river. Many people do fish for the pot and I have no issue with that. For me a frozen fish is not the same.

@jon_lip Thanks Jon, was really pleased I got the timing right. Nice and pink means the fish are waiting for a bit of rain to head up the river to sporn.
