well..... what can i say... it was fricken cold.... the river was in absolutely in perfect shape and ... well the fish were cooperating as you can see. An incredible trip with an awesome guide, Nick from West Coast fishing charters was on top of his game and got us into enough fish to give me a perma grin for the whole trip. My prawn rig and boraxed steelhead roe were the ticket as far as gear goes.
anyhow.. i have found me a new nasty habit ;D.... definately going back in two weeks.

Quite nice to meet the Captain and AlwaysFishin for a little "Planning Time" at the Hacienda!!  ;D

Great pix Gentz, and I was right pleased to hear you had such a great time with my Buddy Nick! He is Deadly eh?!

The BugMan and I hit in on the hoof the next day, and certainly she was crowded for a weekday! Managed to find a few by getting away from the masses, and wondering how you Ladz made out??

Back in a couple of weeks you say? Do give me another buzz, another, more extensive Planning Session might well be in order! And this time, give me a little advance warning, and I'll try to set up a little something special for your visit! ;)

Cheers,
Nog
