Not fly fishing, the strong ripping currents on the Kawhia mean sinkers of up to 28oz, kind of hard to get down with a fly line!!
All the best.

I am not sorry. I hated living in the land where there is little or no change of seasons. I actually like the cold and snow. We have plenty of heritage and special regulation trout waters open year round in addition to a lot of ice fishing opportunities.

Winter also presents some really unique and challenging opportunities for the outdoor photographer that cannot be found in regions that lack snowfall. I feel sorry for those who have never seen the beauty of a snowmobile ride on a clear, frosty winter night through pine trees draped with snow and across the frozen fields.
