The New Season

Image
Well I never managed to get out on open day, was a question of take the family skiing or go fishing, the family won out, but I did get out on the 2nd Sunday and went for a walk. No shortage of fish and eager enough, mostly rainbows up to 7lbs and a stunning day as you can see from the picture; The past 12 seasons I've spent working as a guide - and this was the first fish I've had when not wearing a guides hat as I've all but hang up my guiding boots for the time being. So for the first time in an age I could go out and just go fishing, didn't need to 'save it for my next client' so I had a great time just 'being a punter' again and enjoying the fishing and the environment as it should be enjoyed..... Sounds very like it's going to be a mouse year from the early reports I've heard so fingers crossed, and if that's the case area surrounded by beach forest should yeild some big fish this year, lets hope so

Some great new Tying Products; The Virtual Nymph. As you can see from the pictures the results are pretty spectaular. I haven't had time to try them yet myself but are looking forward to it. The ablity to create life like flies has always been something I aspired to so it should be interesting. The effects are created by using the Virtual Nymph products and then coloring them in with marker pens. I have some new pen packs too so everything is there that's needed to get started including a CD with tying steps. The flies are prodominately Northern Hemisphere so part of the fun will be to design NZ patterns with this stuff More Info here: The Virtual Nymph
