We are on a mission to catch a brown trout in this beautiful country. We have had two beautiful blue sky days to look for our trout out of the three days we fished. Karen and I have walked a lot of kms on two systems. We have been on the Moetueka River and the Owen River. On our first day we found 5 trout and we had a chance at catching two of them. No dice. In the last two days we have not seen any brownies. We took today off to go and see Nelson, a city of about 25 thousand people on the north coast of the South Island. An interesting town. We have travelled back inland a bit. Cross your fingers. I guess we are paying our dues here in New Zealand before we catch any brown trout. Well if our dues were paid in sweat we should catch one tomorrow. We'll see.
...do you like our ride?
Waiting at a great pool hoping for some rising trout in the evening. Nothing.
Beautiful water to explore
Let's take a few casts anyway.
The kitchen is sparse.
Hoping for a hit. Not yet!
I am waiting!
Our friends!
Hope you're having a great fishing day today. Miss you lots!
