Picked up Phillip Norman and his Uncle Phillip (by marriage) this morning to fish flooded conditions. Phillips Uncle hereby referred to as Phil managed his first New Zealand trout on the second cast – it was an awkward spot to cast and unfortunately I had to assist with the casting in the morning due to the difficult spot we were fishing. It wasn’t long before Phil had landed most of the 6 or 7 trout he hooked for the morning with Phillip Norman not far behind.

In the afternoon we fished a different river which had receded a bit after the previous nights flood and hooked another 5, landing 3 of these to make a total of 16 hookups for the day.
