High Country Ride and Fish

The photos below are from day number 1 and 2 of what was meant to be a 5 day riding/fishing trip through the High Country, a big end issue meant I had to cut it short and head back home for repairs on day 2, but, I managed to get in one great day ride and some good fishing.

Heading up into the High Country

My deluxe accommodation

And by deluxe, I mean deluxe!

Once I had unpacked and setup my gear I was off for a 1/2 hour walk to this fantastic High Country lake

The morning brought a couple of smaller browns to the net with some exciting dry fly action

And as the day progressed I managed to net a few good sized browns that put up great fights, all up it was a great day with 5 fish caught and released =)

Throughout the whole day I had the lake to myself, these were the only pepole I saw out for a horse treck

Day 2 brought more magic weather, absolutely gutted to have to head back for repairs!!
