The last kids fishout for 2011 was held today at the Fish and Game Hatchery fish out pond. It was a fine hot day and 297 young anglers learnt how to cast a fly and catch a rainbow trout, some for the first time. We also had some parents, who went through the programme many years ago, bring their own children.

Below are some of the images captured on this awesome day.
