    Nice picture Simon! I think there is another hat that would look better though…. 😮

    How is that Scotch by the way?

    It’s not bad. A mate and I knocked off a bottle the other evening after a day on the river… I think it was 3.30 by the time we turned in and in that time managed to solve virtually all of the world’s problems and had only one or two flyfishing mysteries left to unravel… unfortunately the brilliance it creates wears off and by daylight most all problems and mysteries had returned…. 😎 🙁 😎

    Zach,

    I made one out of a “Mini Mirror Ball Turner” I bought from an equivilent site to ebay for a few dollars. Made a drying wheel by adapting a CD spindle with foam and was in business. It’s mains powered and works a treat!

    Here’s one I found on Ebay… Mains Powered and I find 2 rpm about right… with a six inch disc.

    I made the mistake of mentioning, in passing, what great Black Zonkers “Brooks’s” hair would make…

    My wife didn’t seem too upset until she realise Zonkers are made with the pelt attached…. :-/ :'( >:( 😎

    I have the Xi2 eight which is a great rod for both but my all time favorite #9 is my 9′ #9 TCR… outstanding rod!

    Reels, you’re so spoilt for choice these days I’ll leave that up to you…

    in reply to: New Zealand Fish Experts? #23140

    Slow down fellas… It ain’t no New Zealand fish. The sale of any trout in New Zealand is illegal, hence why there is no trout farming here, in fact, that is illegal too. This is one of the ways we protect our precious wild fish from the diseases and genetic deprivation which can often result from farm escapees.

    We have farmed salmon here which would fit your description.

    Sea Trout are common in some areas, primarily the far south and provide great sport, but there is no lively trade, unless it’s a black market one.

    Instances have occurred of illegal taking of wild trout and them being exported and labelled as NZ fish over seas in the past. I strongly encourage you folks to check with your restaurants and make them realise these facts about our trout because it boils it down to one of two options.

    1) They are participating, albeit unwittingly) in the illegal black-marketing of our sports-fish
    2) Someone is lying about what’s going on the menu.

    I think you summed it up with additional problem a) Davy… Most of the things outlined here are caused by commencing a forward stroke slightly earlier than is appropriate. Allowing your back-cast to fully extend should eliminate most of the casting problems outlined here.

    I’m fairly certain there was something in the terms and conditions when I signed on here that would prevent me from using the names other people call me…. ;D

    I use Rit dyes to colour everything from fly-lines to materials.

    I like them to be hot but only enough so you can

    Mine arrived a week or two back and are a new favorite shirt. They make me look like a sexy styud beast… I owuld post a pic but the amount of traffic from women to this site would probably shut Zach’s server down….. ;D 😎

    Ok, so I still just look like a fattish fishing guide… a man can dream though.

    Great work Zach, Thanks

    Hey guys –

    Interviewed the Becks this morning and they were both very informative and very entertaining.  We will probably kick off Season Three with them.  Look for that some time in the first two weeks of January.

    Zach

    Can’t wait Zach… Morse’s one hasn’t run out of “interest” yet though… do a sequel soon, the guys is so loaded with info it’ll take three or more to use him up… even partially. 😎

    David, if you will pay the shipping expenses I be only to happy to lend you Brick… my pride and joy. It will take me a couple of weeks to train him to dump on command, but he will.

    I will need him back by May for the Pheasant season, his brother and me will take care of the rabbit population in his absense.

    Unfortunetly I just realised Peter has met Brick in the past and did make quite a fuss of him… It’s possible Peter will just want to take him fishing in the back of the Volvo…

    Yep, Morsie has an awful life… his previous occupation was tasting wine, then charter skipper/guide, now demigod guru… I like to ring him from time to time and usually it involves passing a message via Monique to tell him when he finally drags his ass back through the door from another fishing adventure to ring me.

    Then we hear about where he’s been and think he’s full of it, then he posts the pics… if i didn’t like the bugger so much I’ d hate his guts! ;D

    Clark did you record that?  That’s pretty impressive!

    As far as the music goes, sorry boys, that’s the flavor I chose and I’m sticking with it.  I listen to every kind of music myself.  One other factor – very hard to get Zac De La Rocca’s permission to play one of their songs in a podcast or small video.  Bluegrass guys usually are much more accessible.

    It’s not one of my better ones, but it is “Outdoorsey”… 🙂

    I wrote it, recorded it sang it and my wife is one of the harmony singers.
