Bill Twiss with a very nice rainbow caught fly fishing with Bruce at lake Okataina, they lost some bigger fish too.
Notice the trees in the background, normally there is a beach here. The lake is very high and they had two bigger trout take them into these trees and bust off!

Cicada time

Brown Trout

Nice Brown trout caught on the lower Tongariro river on a cicada dry fly.

Had a trip on the lower Tongariro with Tim from Greig Sports, we fished with cicada dry fly patterns and had a great day landing a dozen or so fish and numerous near misses.
We caught mostly Rainbow trout and also a couple of nice Brown trout aswell.

Rainy days

Kenji Lake Rotoaira

Kenji hooked up in the rain at Lake Rotoaira.

Just spent 3 days fishing with Kenji from japan, unfortunately the weather was not the best, all the rivers were in flood and even the lakes were tough with poring rain and high water.
