Unfortunately the hunt on the west coast had to be called of so that was a bummer but I went up the Copland valley for trout instead! Didn't do enough research before I went though because the river was filled with blue glacierwater which made it impossible to fish...
Despite lack of fishing I had a great couple of days which included a stop at the hot pools and a look at the Copland pass. On my way there I passed a lot of places that looked like real thar and chamois land and if I only have had a pair of binoculars I think i would be able to spot them on the mountainsides.
The weather has been awesome until today when I had planned to walk out.. Sometime around midnight I heard the rain starting to fall on the tent and by the time I got started down the track at around 8 a clock the water level in the river had risen about 50 cm and there were water everywhere. I finally managed to get down to the carpark a couple of hours later and I really learned that you got to respect these rivers..
Haha I heard about the hockey and yeah... not a single goal, thats bad..
