Little Fishy in the brook…

Just a quick note this morning.  Went fishing after "work" yesterday afternoon, had a great time.  The weather wasn't cooperating - was rather windy, so we had to relocate to the head of Lake Wanaka, where the river meets the lake.  Considering it's a braided river, the headwaters are more than a kilometer across…

We landed 7 or 8 salmon (landlocked species), each were maybe 30 cm long and about a half kilo or so in weight.  I caught but lost, a rainbow trout - lost it in fighting when it was airborne.  Ah well.  But the real catch was a 49 cm brown trout, that weighed nearly 2 kilo.  A bit of a fatty he was ;)  

Of course, dinner was *amazing*.  We were back at the house, with fish cleaned an in the pan within an hour.  Yum!
