Guiding Regular Client Phillip Norman From Brisbane Oct 2009 Day 3

Fished the Tongariro today with the Phils and it wasn’t long before Phil Norman had landed his first trout of many for the day. We fished one main pool concentrating predominantly on casting tuition for his uncle Phil who did fantastically and was already an expert and mending after 3 days fishing. After lunch we moved up river and hooked and lost 2 further trout out of different lies before hitting a couple of lies back near town resulting in another 5 hookups for Phil Norman and one for his uncle to make 7 landed from 13 hooked for the day.
The condition of the trout did appear to be better than last year and there didn’t seem to be a shortage of numbers either so it seems the fishing is on the mend and I look forward to seeing how the size improves over the next couple of years – hopefully back to a normal 4 lb average.
