Mike Sear (from Friday Harbor) who is spending the winter at Lake Taupo, in New Zealand sent us this photo and caption. He was the winning fisherman at the Acacia Bay fishing club derby. The Rainbow Trout weighted 6.39lbs. and was 27" long. It was caught using a Scotty downrigger at 45' on a spoon type lure with a fast troll and no flashers (not allowed), just like fishing for Silvers. Note: The prize was a giant whole smoked ham. With fuel at $6.41 a gal. it was a pricey ham sort of like Salmon fishing at home.
