NZ- August

Havent had much time to write reports. Works been full on with first fire of both units in the next 10 days. Been getting the odd day off here or there. Hitting up the tongaro/Wanganui systems the most. Over the last 6 weeks I've done alot of solo fishing, which has dramatically improved my technique, fly choice etc etc....Slowly getting over fishing the same systems, but only 3 weeks till the back country open island wide. Thats when the fun will start trying to chase my trophy..

Got a new camera for all you camera lovers got a tripod and everything so pretty rapped.....

Got a 6 days of adventure/Fishing using helicopter and quad bikes through some extremely remote and pristine areas before i leave in the last week of november for a months break.

The last two brown photos is the biggest brown ive caught by myself to date...(not being with my guide) and it was a long 30 min tussle which resulted being so deep into the river water was running down my waders to stop it burying me in boulders.....followed by a clap of these other two fishos on the otherside of the river when i eventually netted....fishing larger systems by yourself is a struggle.....

 

Enjoy the photos and have a good one....FIRE UP EAGLES

tight lines.

magic country around there. We were snowboarding at Whakapapa 6 weeks ago.

While driving back to Auckland via Taupo we stopped to stretch our legs at the side of the lake and there were 12" long trout cruising into a tiny creek not 2 meters away.

Could have got them with a pancake rock!
