Crossed fingers its not Trout and Flathead again, though I bet it is. I'd suggest those are the 2 species that get the best entries.

Trout are hard to come by this time of year except for this bloke ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm sure one will certainly be brown trout.. the others may be Bream, Flathead or Australian Salmon..

You're welcome Andrew, there's been a couple of years when the weather's been so poor & I never bothered to fish, but that's just the way it goes.. When I have gone fishing I've always had a trout to measure & send in hoping to pick up the mystery length... $2,000 would come in very handy..

This year was my smallest trout that I've sent in & at 34/25 cms I reckon I won't be any richer this time either..

What I also like about it is that it makes one all the more determined to catch a fish on the day..

cheers
Adrian
