Great pics again Aaron
Awesome.
I also love the picture of the young fella having fun.
I have a few of my son at a similar age and they are priceless.
🙂If you’ve never seen rugby, its a bit of a religion in NZ, Sth Africa and some parts of Australia.
The guys don’t wear pads (until recently) and rucking is when a guy is lying on the ball and you can use your sprigs (spikes?) on his body to get him out of the way.This clip is not great quality but might give you an idea as to the physicality of it.

This is the traditional one played in my home town. The English are in red, looking nervous

The only thing Rugby has to do with fishing is that if you go into ANY NZ pub (bar) and can talk rugby, you’ll be welcome…. as long you’re not an Australian.. ::) :-X 😉 ;D
Thank you for all the replies.
Food for thought. I see the grey lense market is a real pitfall.Simon, I can help you with this, but it’s a very long conversation..
SH is fine, just don’t get to old and make sure it’s been looked after.
New is also a good idea in that you get the latest and greatest.
Email me your budget and I’ll have a look around Sydney for what’s going, there might be a must have.
Lot’s of new stuff about to lob as well, so a wait might be worth it. 😉
PS, we have your coach.. 😀 and I got into a box for the game on Saturday !!
Thanks DA
NZ dollar is about to tank big time and the Aussie economy is running rampant! Parity with the US currency!? Who would have thought?
I’ll look at what pesos I have and be in touch. Perhaps we’ll have that conversation over a beer. 🙂You might have “Dingo” but his teambreaker protoge still plays number 10 😉
I have to agree with Zach.
In NZ and much of the South Pacific we have a 20KG limit (total!!) internally and a lot of the big rolling duffles weigh several Kilos empty. I have taken to using a duffle long enough to keep the rods in and will be getting a boat style bag I saw Zach using as carry on. Patagonia?
With a backpack I seem to have got by.The next trip I am taking has a max limit of 15kg per person. Luckily its tropical
Hey Arble.
I know what you mean. I never thought of the US as an exotic fishing location until I’d been and then all I want to do now is go back. 🙂
Wonderful hospitality and so much to offer.Awesome flies guys thank you!!
Aaron. Thank you for a great swap.
I’m certainly keen for any flyswap again if ok with the “swapmaster”
Aaron, whats that fly you tied called?
I hope to get a few eaten in the cooks.
I promise pics if that happens 🙂Thanks again guys
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I don’t mind ‘coon eyes
Whats worse is a cap tan when you ain’t got no coverage 😉 ::)I look like I’ve had a lobotomy… maybe I did… I don’t recall 😀 😀 ::)
Well done to all. What a fabulous contest and the spirit of it was brilliant. Kudos to Zach and sponsors!
I’ve enjoyed watching!! 🙂Do you want me to check out what the shipping from here is guys?
The shop in Dunedin sells it for 50NZD.Oh and I don’t mind sending the empties
Thanks for making this a success Aaron!
AND all tiers 😉 🙂 🙂Can’t wait!
Aaron I hope to be casting to at least one GT in a month or so, so I hope I get to cast your fly on my 11wt 🙂
Scott its like 40USD down here (For the size bottle in pic)
I can get it about 50m from where the bus stops 😉
Its actually rebadged …. bladnoch?.. well according to my whiskey pusher anyhow ::) 😕I’m not sure how we’d get on getting it to you but I have friends who come over in November that live in AZ. I could ask? Ups after that? You could always come down to fish ..
