Went fishing in a secret little back-country stream of Steven Rowes not far from New Plymouth yesterday and was astounded by the number of good sized browns we saw in such a short stretch of water. We caught a few - mainly sight fished on dry fly - and had several other refusals. The fishing was definitely up there as some of the best brown trout fishing available. Steven who besides being and ex saltwater charter fisherman is a local trout fishing guide, is considering joining the Anglers Anonymous team to offer a branch in the west coast for sight fishing browns to experienced Anglers.
