Crikey Kenty, that thing looks like a barra wearing a trout suit
Yes, I read somewhere that the Tyenna has the highest number of trout per square metre or something like that, it must have a bl..dy good food source compared with other rivers, perhaps you can elaborate?
The Tyenna isn't too far from where I am living, so I'll give it a go, but the Huon is closer, and geez it looks good.

Holy smoke those trout are big!! Kenty thats one for the den. Jonesy thats an awesome trout first shot and it looks like you have been cleaning up...great stuff!!
Love the ice puddles...around turangi when I was a kid we used to pick up puddles and skip them down the road as we waited for the school bus. when it snowed we took the horses to school....aaaaaahhhh memories flood back of standing waist deep in the snow melt of the tongariro...you would have to be barking mad...thank christ I live in Darwin chasing barra now where you just have to worry about crocs. Wait a minute. Crocs? youd have to be barking mad to fish here.
Um...Im sensing a pattern...

Great fish, If memory serves there is a trout/salmon farm up near Mount Field not far from Westerway. Fair chance it was an escapee... I hope it got smoked and eaten whilst hot.mmm

There is a trout farm on the river at National Park. It sucks water from upstream runs it through the farm and back into the river down stream. They only farm Atlantics, but all the river fish get to eat the leftovers. It's not a big river but the fish are bl..dy massive!
