Just got back from a 5 day wilderness heli-fishing adventure with Peter Neil and Matthew Kennedy from Australia. The weather played along pretty well until last night where it flooded the river and gave us an extra sleep in before the guys managed to use their expert dirty water techniques to land 1 and loose two more nice fish. On the first day the guys managed to land most of 17 nice trout hooked, on the second day the guys managed to hook 9 of which 3 were on dry fly - 2 on the evening rise were Peter Neils first evening rise fish. Day 3 resulted in 14 hookups of which 1 was for Matthew Kennedy on the evening rise. Day 4 was more challenging again fishing to very spooky fish Matthew managed to 4 from 4 of which one came to the dry but was taken on nymph and Peter managed to hook one and miss another on dry. Day 5 was today and was a washout but still managed to get a trout and loose a couple in the high flooded dirty water. All in all a great trip with 47 hookups of which around over 80% were sight fished. The fish ranged from around 3 pounds up to Mathews biggest of 7 and a half pounds with 2 or 3 nice 6 pounders thrown in there. There were some great acrobatic fish on day 2 with three of the trout clearing around 3 feet in a small stream - no exageration! One trout on day 2 also came to sniff the dry turned away then saw another trout heading for the dry so turned and hit it like a killer whale hitting a seal - to quote Matthew! In all one bottle of whisky, 5 bottles of wine and a dozen beer helped get some great nights sleep in for some excellent fishing.
