Yes Akihiro, brown trout do jump!
My friend Akihiro has been visiting New Zealand in the worst possible fishing conditions with storm after storm lashing the mountains. He now knows what a Nor' west wind feels like rocketing down stream, head-on into your face. Thankfully though, he caught a few nice trout. It was a steep learning curve, hooking and landing heavy trout requires a lot of knowledge and skill. Akihiro raised his fishing skills to meet the challenge. The rain again is rattling on the tin roof as we sit inside and think of the next place to go........ 1 afternoons fishing left!

Wonderful report! Peter
Love the photos! I have seen some video clips from NZ and I noticed the wind could be notoriously bad... I agree with you, it going raised some skill. Nice fish!
this season is an (El-nino?) weather pattern. Rain on the alps and hot blasting winds down the east coast, followed but a southerly storm to clear everything out.
Cheers

Hey Peter,
The rain fall in south-eastern US is ridiculous high this winter. All the rivers are in a very bad shape... hopefully the coming year would be bette : )
Hi this is Saito. I received the Fishing net from Mr Yasunaga in Jan. Thank you for the wonderful net. When I visit NZ I will carry it with me. Looking forward to that day. When you have time to visit JP again, let us fish together at our catch and release site, Itoshiro river, Gifu Japan.
