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 :roll:
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 :D
