Cracker trout dan1, got to be happy with that! Is great to see the rewards of all the money, time and effort the fly and freshwater clubs/ associations put in to stocking places like that. Creates some great sports fishing. Have to look after places like that, iv heard stories of places around sa where trout have been stocked, only for people to continually catch them and take them home for a feed. Pretty sad they don't realise trout don't breed here in the creeks and dams of sa, and that the only reason they are there is because people put them there for sport. And then they wonder why they cant catch them any more as the only way for there to be more is if people put new fish in there. Sucks too cos they take a fair while after they're stocked to grow to the size like the ones you caught... great fish!!

Cheers guys forgot to put In there that all trout were released besides 1 as it swallowed the fly a bit to much and didn't swim away but the fish was not wasted it was put to good use.
