Be good to catch up if you ever get the time, very much appreciated what you did for me some time back.

I fished Tongariro when I was growing up as my Uncle managed the Hatchery in Tūrangi.

I remember the ice forming on fingers asI drew in the fly line., walked home to put hands in hot water to learn a lesson that that is in fact a rather “bad idea”…
