Tongariro with switch rod.
Hi Guys just back from the Tongariro, River is very low and clear and full of fish! Not easy to fool but I did manage a few every day and the evening rise had to be seen to be believed, Trout everywhere and hitting a skating caddis with a smash. Great fun.
I caught fish each day on both the nymph with a scandi line and with small bunnys on the Skagit line. So with the evening dry fly I think must have fished every way possible!
I fished the Whanganui river on Saturday and got one absolute beauty, 51cm and just under 4Lb before I got run over by a Raft full of kids, not so much fun!! Managed to stay on my feet and even managed not to cuss them out as there were 2 small girls in the raft, I bit my tongue and just said to the Guide "Fancy meeting you here!" he was bright red with embaresment (sp?).
I will post some pics when I get a chance to download them from the camera, wont be today as I am pulling a double shift to try to catch up with all the work that did not get done last week.
All the best.
Mike
