A top performance by Frank and Natalie out heli-fishing today meant 9 landed out of 14 hooked plus another 2 missed on dry fly. The biggest were Franks 6 3/4 rainbow and a brownie of the same size. There were several others not too far behind. There were several fish that we saw considerably bigger and one that was just over the other side of a same making it impossible to get a drift to - though we tried of course. Natalie did well hooking 5 and managing to land 2 nice rainbows around the 5 lb mark. The conditions were perfect and really the day could not have been any better!
