I went there to, Minipi Lodge in 1980 or 1981 . I went with my father and brother. Great time and fishing great, Im told it hasen't changed much. Thats great , we only killed one fish while there for a week. Peter Poar owned it at that time.

Some great videos you’ve been posting the last few months! Keep them coming! Thanks

[@troutacademy]

Thanks, much appreciated. If you have any suggestions or educational content you want covered let me know. Tight lines!

For me, shorter 10-15 minute episodes are much more palatable.

[@troutacademy]

Thanks, I feel the same way. The 45 minute episodes are just too long for me.... Much appreciated.

That place looks like it will ruin you for brook trout fishing just about anywhere else. WOW!

[@troutacademy]

It definitely will set an unrealistic standard if you are not conscious about it. haha. I dream about going back, knowing there are fish that are pushing 10 pounds.... I feel very fortunate we had a chance to fish there!

You can’t fish in the pouring rain, with a high fever and diarrhea……!? You don’t sound all that dedicated….. 😂

[@troutacademy]

I know, I am kind of a wimp! haha
