ABETTED by others on Station 1YZ staff, announcer Lindsay Broberg conjured up this outsize Rainbow trout. With tail and fins that wiggled realistically and air bubbles (hydrogen-filled balloons) issuing from its mouth, it was acclaimed the prizewinning float of the floral section of Rotorua's annual New Year Procession. 1YZ technicians constructed the fabric of the exhibit, which was covered with blooms and dyed toi-toi fronds. Although Thermal Region fishermen are accustomed to hearing toles of the "one that got away," even the most gullible found this fish too big to swallow.
