Been way too slack on fly fishing for the past 4-5 yrs and probably need some one keen to get me started again . Anyone on here keen on the odd fish up in the local high country lakes ?.

I only ever used to fish the last mile or 2 to where it runs into the lake. Anything over 10lb was exciting to play in a wee creek.
I grew up in Leeston until we moved to Ashburton a long long time ago but still would drive back to fish the creek.
When I was llittle we had a family batch at the Upper Selwyn Huts, I wish we (the family) still owned it
