    Yeah. Not so much. I went down for a look and the lake was the colour of the milky tea I just finished. Had a few casts and gave up and came home.

    Pre covid I had friends from Europe over most summers and the roar
    I we would wander the high country a lot
    It wasn't unusual to land 10 pound browns on most trips

    Thank you so much Joe! I'm on 87 this year its going to be an effort to get to 100.Our local river the Manawatu is still high and murky,so we went for a drive. Checking the web cam on the local when we got home and captured this shot.Looks like one raft is bailing water.
