Hello all, I promised a report last week on my weekend fishing the Tongariro river. Well it was a disaster, firstly my new car broke down half way there, obviously in the middle of nowhereville, so Friday was a wasted day. The mechanics gave me a lone car so we could at least go fishing. I have only had my nice new Mercedes for 5 days and the gearbox is totaly stuffed.
Then the fishing was best described as very hard, most of the dozen or so anglers from the club found it very hard going. I did however manage one rainbow of about 4lb so it was not all bad.
I should get my car back in about a week so I will not be fishing again for at least 2 weeks, Bummer!
Anyhow at least we got to go fishing.
All the best.
Mike.
