How to catch 80 trout in one morning?

Hi Ross,

Thanks for a wonderful stay again over the weekend. The boys had a great time over the three days. Fishing was slow on Friday but we still had a blast.

On Saturday we were out with local guide Whiskery Mike jigging on the lake in the am with some amazing fishing. By our count we had around 80 (that’s right 80) fish to the boat in four hours. Mike will probably deny all knowledge of this but we can’t recommend a better lake guide in the district.

Matteo Moro (pictured) caught close to forty of them. Understandably he needed a nap in the arvo (pictured too sorry Matteo) while the rest of the boys nabbed a few in the river. I think they call it a siesta in Italy! He woke up pretty quickly after threats of a slap in the face with a wet trout tail!

Also pictured is Greg Ballantyne from Winton on his first visit to Turangi catching his 1st river rainbow (under a rainbow) on Sunday.

Look forward to seeing you again next time we are there.

Chris Seaton.
