    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.

    Cooler here. Rivers are in flood tho.

    I actually got a call from a local B&B to guide a fisherman for a day next week.

    They didn't seem to understand the difference between hunting and fishing when I said we don't have a concession or cater to fishing. They thought it should be bread and butter

    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.

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

    Don't think it would be worth your time to be honest. Only a day rate.
