Angling Report: Nov 2005 Lake Brunner region Fly Fishing Report
The weather continued warm and sunny through the first week of November, but did deteriorate a little after that. A few cooler days, some rain, and a fresh through the rivers but still no significant flood. Trout are growing fat and strong due to an abundance of food sources

A nice brown makes a splash, keeping Jim's "Fun-meter" firmly in the green zone!

There is an amazing colour variation between brown trout, depending on their location - they change colour at will.

The middle of the month brought a colder southerly change, some heavy showers, and some amazing midge hatches on the Grey River.
