Thats a beauty Fish05
Interesting to see that they make their way up that far. All of the threadfin reports I've seen are from the lower reaches. What gear are you using?

Cheers

[fish05]

i was using quite heavy gear unfortunately but it still fought a good ten minutes i had twenty pound jarvis walker braid(which i will never use again) with a shimano 4000 sienna matched with a shimano 6-8kg rod (cant remember what it was) but i am keen to go there with the light gear very soon.....
