    Hi Tim
    Sorry mate I’ve been fishing and hardly online at all.
    Yep this is about as big a mouse year as we’ve had for a while.
    I also think that 2 years (since TB NZ came out) must have been about right for all the troutbums to have saved up for the NZ 10 weeker! ::) 😉
    Lots of young guys here catching loads of nice fish.
    We’re currently getting a heap of rain but as soon as it settles, life will be good again.

    So far some really decent fish have been caught and more are yet to come.
    Tim, where are you?
    How much time can you get off?

    Morsie, today a friend got a fish that was 24inches long and over 8lbs…..

    Have you compared the rod prices of the day with the average wage of the period also?
    I would guess rods in general have decreased in price to the average wage?

    Hi Butch
    That fish hangs right behind my vice and I dream of getting back. I was planning on next year but with this other trip happening it might be 2011. Hope you leave a few for me!

    Thanks Zach
    I’m apparently going to an Island where there will be shots at everything from Bones to Tarpon.
    Apparently I should be taking everything from an 8-10. Crabs, gotchas and toads?
    I’m pretty psyched and its still 8months away!! 🙂

    I like the shot of the bone swimming away. Was there a filter on that shot Zach?

    Looks bigger than you think as I’m in front of it eh 😕
    Thanks Zach and others
    Its probably the flies I have most interest in and the fact that that you are all recommending 8s as the heaviest rod I might need.
    The leader length and breaking strain recommendations also give me an indication as to what to expect.
    If I can cast to a few schools that would be a bonus!

    Awesome Henry!
    I was recently looking at your pics from the Bahamas too.
    I’m hoping to follow in your footsteps (on that particular island in the Bahamas) and if I just get one picture as good as you’ve shot, I’ll be stoked!
    Thanks for sharing!

    Keen to hear your thoughts on the Sage bags Zach.
    Keep up the great work!

    Hope you didn’t have to take Lauren back to that dodgy old motel again! 😉 ::)

    Can’t believe 2 years have flown by so quick.

    The slim beauty is a cool knot and easy to tie.
    Lefty’s loop is a good one from leader to fly 🙂

    Well I suppose someone has to say Abel!!  🙂
    I love the idea that my reels are customised and hand painted.
    Bullet proof.

    You can’t go wrong with either though.

    Just to throw a spanner in the works. Have you considered sealed drags versus cork? Another couple of cork drag reels getting good wraps are Shiltons and the Templeforks?

    Take your pick from some exceptional sealed drag reels – Hatch and Mako being only a couple of options
