Unless you are a 6 foot 5 fishing guide who has not eaten for 3 days never order the double lamb shank in The Bistro in Twizel. :lol:

That represents a significant change in attitude for one who has spent time in sheep shagger country...............

Did you get a chance to use your home made indicators while there?

I used mine pretty often. They are fine. The only problem was that they didn't sink often enough :)

Ha, aye thats a problem for me too.
How did you fish....nymphs and dries most of the time?

Mainly dries for me - mainly big ugly ones with rubber legs or beetle patterns. An emerger pattern caught me a few fish too, but there was only a smattering of upwinged flies coming off on a couple of rivers and trout were ignoring these, so it wasn't usually worth prospecting with imitations of these.
I had a couple of fish on nymphs too and we resorted to wooly buggers and the like as well. I even stripped a pink booby across the nose of a sockeye salmon and had a take from a cock fish, but it came off :(

Most of my fish were caught on a black Octa-Naomi. I had two nice fish on The Mataura on nymph
Alex/Fred how would you sum this trip up to previous trips !

Worse
