Lord Jim and Dash have just returned from the first of many, or so I'm told, trips to the land of the Long White Cloud and fishing with
Jake and Southern Rivers Fly Fishing .
Apparently the weather was a pain on some of the days with 140 kmph winds on the Islands, but they still got into the fish, had sheep dog trials and found a heap of different beers.
 |
| There was some rough terrain to traverse...needed to be part mountain goat? |
 |
| Jake, who the boys reckon could climb like a mountain goat |
 |
| ..and you needed to be able to climb like a mountain goat...rough terrain |
 |
| needed plenty of rest after those climbs |
 |
| Even the cars couldn't get through everywhere |
Jim was saying that the casting was different, with a sixteen foot tippet and some of the casts were only around that distance, because the fish were so close....these two swam into a pool while they were having a rest, one hooked up and the other stayed around to see what happened, but as you can see its a very short cast....
 |
| The fish were almost at the end of the rod! |
 |
| The second stayed to see what was happening... |
 |
| James and trout |
 |
| Dash and bigger trout |
 |
| Cold and crystal clear with fish in close |
There are a lot more photos, and the boys are preparing to return next year....looks great...and cold
