    I may have fudged it if the person wasn't specifically a fly fisherman.

    We have had a lot of enquirys lately for fishing and have no local guides. They have all retired or moved on.

    If l liked trout fishing I would dust off the fly rod and get current.

    If the price is right I can make myself available.

    That's not saying much @Dundee. She's a good looking girl and I'm an ugly bastard. Takes after her mother.
    Unsure why, but I've had a very mediocre start to the years fishing. I'm just not getting into the fish like I've done in the past. I'm sure the heat has changed things a bit but I'm also not fishing at 100% either.

    I always found the central north island streams tough at this time of the year.

    Well it's not a trout though I did get a 6lb brown which I released.
    Third trip to the Canals and nothing but poxy trout so far, I have never caught a Salmon and it's the wife's favorite eating fish so I had the excuse to keep going back.
    Water colour very cloudy and different canals flowing at different rates.
    I have ALOT to learn yet and it's not easy going at times when nothing is happening. Anyway I got my first Salmon yesterday, not huge but a good eater.
    They fight well for their size, stubborn like a brown but with heaps more go and stamina.

    Been a few days since i landed a trout but haven't stopped eating them,still a few trays of trout fillets in the freezer.
    Tonight I fished the same area for an hour 100metres up and down stream and just on dark landed this hen full off eggs.
