Hey all

long time no post, just a quickie and will update and add photos tomorrow at the airport when im bored sh**less!

Been fishing for the last 5 days, involving 3 days of heli fishing through out the aranga atiki ( i think its called), and through some areas im not aloud ot disclose.

Had one of the most memorable fishing experiences of my life, was fishing a deep pool and first cast with a nymph through the only drift in the pool resulted in my first doulbe digit fish. A rainbow just weighing in just a tadd over 10 pounds. Was stoked! but that wasnt the best part of the day, that afternoon we came across a pool, with a serious mayfly hatch starting and had my first ever session on dry fly. While standing and watching from a far we counted 13 different fish rising, at different sections of the pool. These werent small fish, and we hooked all 13 of them (landed 9), picking off the ones at the back and mooving forward. The smallest fish caught went 7 pounds with the largest between up to 9,5 pounds. (4 were in this weight range).

we have some stunning photos and ill update the report more tomorrow with a day by day little summary.

Back in perth tomorrow, im over the rain/snow and cold weather bring on some sun and some crays!
