THE LAST DAY OF THE LAST TRIP

For the entire season the river had not lived up to its reputation, the water levels rose and fell without regard to the normal flows of proper water management for a world class tailwater trout fishery. The water clarity was less than desired, furthermore it had been reported that the trout population was in decline and many had cancelled their trips to this world class fishery. We had not!!

Nice article, Tom. We are all just passing through, so it pays to enjoy all the small things, besides catching fish, that can make for a great day on the river.

Your amazing wildlife is one of those things - we don't have brown bears and bald eagles in New Zealand; the largest bird I might see in the outdoors is a hawk.
