    RIP Paora (Paul Mikkelson)

    Long time FnH forum member Paora (and here too, but not active for a while) passed away last night from cancer.

    Rest in peace mate.

    For those who don't know, Paul was a fishing guide in Taupo, 'The Dauntless Drift'.

    He also represented NZ at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur in gymnastics.

    Absolutely gutted. Paul was a hell of a nice bloke, hunting mate of my brother's. I never got to hunt or fish with him unfortunately, but he helped me a lot when I came home to NZ. He leaves a wife and son who just turned 3.

    As well as The Dauntless Drift, he had hunt_harvest_nz on Instagram.

    RIP Bro

    Bugger, had a bit to do with him a few years back when we were trying our hands at the writing thing. Leaving a young family is a horrible situation, one of my greatest fears, condolences to all

    Go well.

    Cancer doesn’t take many prisoners unfortunately.

    I had the pleasure of getting to know him through work and was shocked this evening when i got the call. Paul was a man who was always incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and humble.

    I recently had a child and can remember him saying to me last year that it is the best experience and greatest privilege to be called Dad. I’m sure your son is very proud and will remember you as the gentle giant you were.

    Rest easy.
