    Easy. I'm often using size 14 in Taupo rivers and mouths during spawning runs. No problems for fish 6lb+. And plenty big fish get landed on 16/18 dries which are finer wire.

    The deer mainly go to people in need.

    Yip the Tongariro is fishing well river mouths still pretty slow. Hooked 3 out of the same pool in 30min. This amateur fly fisherman managed to land one.
