FLY FISHING TRAGIC.

It took me four days walk to get to my location on my first personal fly fishing trip in NZ in many years. I got there and there was two helicopter groups.:) The fish were spooky. I had awesome fun with the challenge. All up.I hiked over 120klm in nine days.It was on my bucket list to do the mission and I'm glad I did.
