#201 comes in on the other side of the planet. The trout in New Zealand are...umm...HUGE! They're also very clever and "toey" - the kiwi word for easily spooked. This was my first trip in the southern hemisphere to fish and my first trip to New Zealand AND my first time taking a helicopter to fish!?!? Also, my amazing pilot Eric, was the person to spot the fish. Beginners luck and an incredible guide, first cast got a huge brownie to the net!
