Trips and Venues

[fish]

Ok, we ain't in New Zealand, posting pics. like that is similar to inviting a jailbird for a braai this coming Saturday, he just can't make it and have a good excuse. Total torture, immense agony, soon I will catch those browns and rainbows in New Zealand.

Hope all of you guys in NZ are doing well and keep us drooling on this side.

I bet an African Tiger will eat those trout

Cheers,

They told me at school we don't have tigers in Africa?

Are those fish stocked? Ive seen DVD from Jim and Kelly White fishing N.Z similar size fish. But how do the fish get so big? Can you tell us more and show pictures of the food that they eat please.

No, these fish are wild. They are lake fish that return to the streams for the cooler water and then hang around to spawn. Their main food is smelt (a bait fish that grows to 10cm or so), cockabully (another small fish), and freshwater crayfish.
