    It is good that feral fish have been caught - not understanding why they have seasons though - is a feral that predates on native fish as well as just about anything else. I worked for Fisheries and none of the fishery managers could explain why trout, in many respects were more protected than native fish.
    Because it is tradition to speak of fish in pounds. Sometimes it is nice to keep traditions going...and it makes them sound bigger. If you are struggling with the conversion, a 500gm block of butter you buy at the supermarket, is about 1 pound.

    Not sure about over there, but here, especially in the area I am in, the trout fishery is a magnet for worldwide tourism(pre covid) and a huge recreational activity, for both us nationals and overseas people. It brings in a lot of tourist dollars, and it provides joy and recreation to a lot of people....not to mention a healthy food source. Our trout fishery seems to coexist quite successfully with native species.

    Trout have coexisted for a long time here. The real problem for us, are catfish, who ruin the water quality of a pristine lake, and fish such as carp, which do truly decimate the native species.

    We have year round seasons here, but some areas have limited seasons. That is to to with restocking and giving the trout a chance to breed and replenish etc. Fishery management.

    Maybe Grumbles wasn't quick off the mark to trade his Imp. Scales in for Metric.
    Still, a Metric Trout doesn't sound as fishworthy as an Imperial one.

    Hehe exactly, if someone told me how much their fish weighed in kilos, I would ask, what is that in pounds?

    Good on you mate, you got out into the fresh air, caught some quality food for your family and had some exercise to boot. Personally I would have smoked it...mmmm love smoked trout, but each to their own!

    Just like in NZ it's still quietly circulating..Corona Virus

    Positive coronavirus cases detected in SA wastewater and in hotel quarantine - ABC News

    Fingers crossed it doesn't grow.
    Great to see all the states are still being proactive regardless of known infection levels (as much as I hate that word)

    Well, that's one way of eliminating the competing anglers that I had never thought of!

    Stuff the belly of the 1 3/4 lb Rainbow with leek and grated carrot - one a French chef taught me some time ago.
