Novice angler catches this beaut in the middle of town. I can only
think that the fish was starting out on its spawning run as the area
is close to the mouth of a small tributary (a known spawning stream)
of the Manawatu river. Early spawning starts in March for browns

Fish this size should be miles from here, in the head waters. It must
have been lost, dumb or both.

I bet he foul hooked it.
