or we could meet at the Tukituki river!!!.Cheers For posting.

The Tuki is fishing real well at the moment so maybe.
Dryfly is hard to start. Remember to pause before striking on the take. An old rule was to say "God save the queen" to allow the fish time to close its gob. It is frustrating to see the dry come zooming out a fishes mouth as you were too keen on the strike.
Run a small unweighted nymph (CDC type of thing) off the bend of the dry to double your chances. If there is a rise on, the nymph should look like an emerger to the trout.
