NZ Life- its been a while

Hey all 

been a while since i have thrown up a post. Works been full on and i havnt really had that much time to update...just work and fishing.

Been fishing when i can, hitting up the systems that are still open around taupo and taumanui. Fishings been hot and cold, with the rains the trout seem to come realy on the bite after a new group of fishing come flying through the systems to get higher in the mountains.

Been starting to do solo fishing, with out the guide and slowly picking it up. Been getting fish everytime just not in the quanities i once was haha. It all comes down to experience and time on the systems.

Fished with my guide on sunday though and did really good 15 rainbows and 2 browns all between 4-6 pounds, So nothing to go screaming about.

Mariah my better half was over for 3 weeks, so i have added some photos of the snow, mt rheupo or how ever you spelll it.It was our first time in the snow which was pretty coool. Sorry for the short thread i dont really have time to put massive paragraphs right now. 

the brown in the photo sent me on a wild chase i was in near water up to my neck trying to get him away from rocks, as you have far more control over fish with a shorter line out. Some of these rainbows send me on 100m+ runs down the side of the rivers...........

Savage pics, classic trout.. Amazing fishing there mate.. I miss Ireland and the Fly Fishing like mad.

 

If you ever get a chance to get to Ireland, Hit Kerry in the south west, You wont be disapointed, for both scenary, fishing, and the people been so welcoming and you will have a trip of a lifetime also.

 

But NZ looks amazing.. I want to get there, its on my Bucket List.. Keep up the posts and pics, keeps me dreaming for long time to come..
