Sexyloops TV….& other manshit.
I have writers block. No idea what to talk about. Too much happened since the last fishing blog and it’s all become a blur. There have been lots of friends through, both old and new and from all over the place. That’s been great!! (a bit too good actually, I am no longer allowed to have guests)
The lake has been very bad at times to excellent other times. Everything is extremely low. The rivers and lakes need a freshen up. I will promptly report back on this coming weekend before it all becomes a blur again!
One thing I thought about doing recently was running the entire SLTV series through my blog. So I’ll do it! I know I have many subscribers and I’m sure non-subscribers who have never seen or heard of it, so, to you folks, I suggest you watch it like a tv show. I will bring you a 10 minute fly-fishing film at least once a week. Both Paul Arden and I are the hosts (though I don’t appear until episode 4). The shows are from NZ, Tasmania and The Northern Territory in Australia. They are filmed, edited, directed and produced by Paul and I. Without further ado, Here is Episode 1. “Paul Arden”. (I put it below the pics so you don’t forget to check them out!!)
Tomorrow is the start of 2.5 serious days fishing!
Work to live… Ronan..
-
- Mark Adamson on some Dunstan flats..
-
- Fishing was ok… Mark managed one on his last cast.
-
- I met Simon Pavelic from Adelaide on the river as I was getting rigged up. He knew me from my blog. It was great to meet a subscriber! We fished together for the day.
-
- The fishing was tough and we were unlucky with our chances.
-
- We were in a very wild place but these gold mining remains looked like a newly built stone wall!
-
- Simon demonstrates the importance of wearing glasses while fishing. It’s better to pop out a lens than an eyeball!! It took us about 20 minutes to find the lens, It was in the river..
-
- Alan Christy watched “Fish This” when it was aired for it’s one and only time on Discovery Channel in the US years ago.. It got him back into fishing and ultimately to NZ. It’s a shame that show didn’t happen!! We met for a beer and a fish…
-
- Some more SL and blog followers, Scott and Ben.
-
- Camping at the Mavora Lakes last weekend… Fishing and beer!
-
- Me, Jeff, Not sure and Kristian Bang Foss (That’s his real name).
-
- Kristian in my Barby Chair..
-
- Beer.
-
- No rush to the river but we still had a full 8 hours on the water.
-
- Jeff onto a good fish which he fucked up.
-
- This took my size 8 cicada blind. Superb fight! First fish…
-
- Bang Foss happily plays a fish..
-
- Not bad..
-
- Jeff uses the Sage One the way one should!
-
- Just under 6lbs..
-
- We had 5 in about 20 minutes and 80m of river… all on dries. This from a skinny riffle.
-
- What a magic 20 minutes!
-
- The evening light made spotting tough and blind fishing was a non runner.
-
- Camp.
-
- Kristian with one on day 2. He missed a giant too!
-
- Manshit. Firewood missions are an important part of camping..
-
- Getting the last little bit off the truck..
-
- This weeks panorama..
How come you haven’t killed this Terrano yet, Ronan?!
I don’t know! She’s a beast! Hard to kill a beast. It was like old times, Kristian was keen to take my usual spot as the human rope but in the end we decided to use a normal one… I didn’t think he was qualified!
Ha ha. I remember the time you came flying off the top, followed by about ten trees!
Me too! Cut my hands.. otherwise unscathed! Tuck and roll…
