A total of 102 young anglers cast out their lines and tried their luck at catching a rainbow trout at the 22nd annual Stratford Kids Trout Fishing Day in December.
Before the day, 300 two-year-old rainbow trout were released into the Patea river at the Scout Den in King Edward Park, Stratford.
The rainbow trout were grown by Fish & Game at their Hāwera hatchery.
There was plenty of action on the day, with some catching their first trout.
All fishing gear was supplied to the young anglers and they had assistance from Stratford Fishing Club members and volunteers.
