New Zealand – Ireland – Thailand – New Zealand……
I’m at Christchurch airport right now and my bag is checked through to Dublin. Snakehead has just appeared on the agenda for Thailand in a few weeks so hopefully my next blog (probably in about a month but possibly sooner) will have 3 countries and multiple species in it which will make a welcome change from trout.. I’m happy to be heading home for what will surely be an epic trip.
Last weekend was tough. I broke in 2 fish which I shouldn’t have and one was possibly a double. I hooked 5 in total and only landed one. Day one brought tough sighting conditions but day 2 was perfect and I blanked! I fished lots of new water and I’m excited about getting back there for some really big days in the new year..
If I don’t get a report up before Christmas and New year I hope you all have a great one!
Fish hard..

- Clearly a 4×4 is not necessary to get here!
- 8 vintage cars in the middle of nowhere!
- Day 1. No sun but I could spot fish on sandy eyes.
- Lovely 6.5lb hen fish.
- Went to Pete’s 60th after an enjoyable day on the water. We dam near polished off a keg!
- Greg and Pete. Work mates. We had a great night under a walnut tree out of the rain! Here’s to another 60 Pete!!
- Day 2. Perfect conditions, 8ks, saw 7, landed 0. had 3 shots. Broke in one. My fault!
- First time through this section. I’ll be back!
