good one mate ,,,,mate you will catch trout in 3 inchs of water so dont be fooled by thinkin that ya need heaps of water ,some of the streams up here are 3 ft wide and less than a foot deep and you can nail trout all day ,,

Good one Daniel. Hey is that a beard you're growing? Get dad to take you to Sth Island N.Z. for a holiday and catch a couple of browns like these. Water was shallow and COLD.

Well done Daniel.

So are you saying your dad caught NOTHING? I bet he said he is proud of you but under that smile I bet he's pissed.

BTW, what was the bread for?

glad to see you had a good time even though you didn't catch as many fish as you might've wanted.

You have to start somewhere and things van only get bigger from here
