Met Mac and Jeff Ballantyne from Australie early this morning for a fly trip out to the back country. It wasn’t long before Jeff hooked into his first New Zealand trout and was met by an angry aggressive rainbow that blew him away in about three seconds. This happend twice more before Jeff after a long battle landed a nice 5 and a quarter pounder. His friend Mac who was trying fly fishing for the first time did great hooking 5 of the 12 hooked by the pair for the day and managed to land two nice trout including this superbly conditioned Brown Trout.
