Hi and welcome, its great to hear theres another fly fisherman or two on here, im an avid fly fisherman and have done a little bit of tying, but reckon its just easier to buy them from the shop,thats my excuse anyway

[jean mi]

Hopefully we can meet one day on the water , i always go on my own 4x4 and fishing can be sometime interesting , got stuck many times that's my excuse for not coming back on time ...

[lexulance]

Yep 4wding and fishing can be a bit of fun, had some afternoon fishing trips that have turned into big recovery missions because i had to get that extra 200m up the river
Do you fish locally, there is some very good fishing to be had thats less than an hours drive from chch, big and stroppy fish

[jean mi]

yep been there in the recovery i fish the high country lake , river like pouter, hurunui upper , opihi river, sometime rakaia haven't been lucky with salmon ..

[pressy]

well come to chch, glad you made it for the shakes

[jean mi]

Yep i choose CHCH because they never had a earthquake jus on time,,,.
