Browno
A solid brownie from the Tukituki River in Hawke's Bay. He was mooching about in a backwater like a dude at a party who's run out of his own beers, but knows there are plenty in the chilly bin so long as a few people move away a bit. I put a little #16 hare and copper in front of him and wham: he was on it like Oprah on book with a tragic but uplifting plot. These big browns don't tend to rip off as much string as rainbows, but they love finding a stick or a log and doing 15 fast laps around it. This bloke went back in hale and hearty, ready to resume domination of the caddis population.

Nice one. Approximate size of this behemoth?
ReplyDeleteMaybe 7lb, I reckon, stripped down to his party shorts.
