Lovely fish, PMA. What size was the fly? 12? 14?

I was hiking near a small WTS on Sunday and I noticed some trout rising. I went over to investigate and saw some crawling up on the rocks.

The native brookies were popping on top in Lamington tribs the other day to LBS trying to hatch. Dry fly in February. :) :)
