Torrential Rain in Greymouth Abandon Ship!






Well the best laid plans sometimes have to be modified. It's our last week before we come home. Until two days ago we had not experienced rainfall New Zealand style. It poured hard on us. The moisture was badly needed. The 200 mm of rain caused the rivers to turn off color in the Greymouth region and rise dramatically. The rivers will probably be back in shape by mid week so Karen and I decided to head south. We got to Athol and fished a very well known river, the Matura river. Again the evening rise was very good to us but we were over run by fly fishers during the day. We visited "World Famous" (at least that is what the sign says), Stew's Fly Shop. There are a few rivers we want to visit before we head home. The last week is going to fly by!
