10,000th trout for the season..

Post by meppstas » Fri Aug 23, 2019 6:20 pm

This season I will be going for my 10,000th trout since we moved to Tasmania back in March 2000..
With a total catch of 8,956 brown trout, 914 rainbow trout & 1 brook trout (total 9,871 trout) to the end of the 2018/19 season I only need 129 trout
to reach it..
With 16 trout already caught & released in three trips I hope to catch another 113 by the end of October providing the weather improves..
I have also set myself a target of 600 again for the 2019/20 trout season, same as I set last year & fell 27 short of the target. :down:
Will I reach it, who knows but I'll certainly be having a good crack at reaching it.. :fish22:

cheers
Adrian
1-A long cast here drew the 2.45kg trout off the opposite river bank... (Medium).JPG
Will be glad when the rivers are back to a safe wading height like this..

1.3 kg Meander Brown (Medium).jpg
And plenty of these beautiful browns..

No wonder you like fishing.

What a target to aim for.

We will all live in suspense till you make an announcement

With your catch rate, there is no doubt you will get the 10,000th trout by October!
Most importantly, you'll enjoy doing it! By going fishing in beautiful places!
Start planning the set and how are you going to pose on the 10,000th trout photo :a_goodjob:

As long as it's a medium size fish & not a small brown I'll be happy.. actually it really won't matter all that much just reaching the milestone will be good enough for me..
