It Takes Teamwork to Catch these Brown Trout

Karen and I are have a lot to learn about catching the wiley brown trout here in New Zealand. The weather settled down enough so we could walk along a local creek called Larry's Creek near Reefton that has a reputation for having big browns. We started walking just after lunch and only spotted 2 fish. The first one was busily feeding and should have been caught except for errant casts that caused poor presentations. We got a second chance at another brown that we actually walked right past and didn't see until we stopped to scan the water. It was feeding in a trough in fairly fast water. An accurate cast and we got a hook up. We got this 6 pounder in and we were both excited. We were warned that we may not see many fish. We were thankful to get one in the bag.
