060122 - New Zealand River

First expedition of the year 2006. Newly designed fly. New Hardy Bougle Reel. New Scientific Angler Sinking Fly Line. And my old faithful AJ Thramer Hollow Built Bamboo Fly Rod. This place welcome me with some awesome non-stop action.


First peacock bass of the morning


The flash is too bright or the sky is too dark?


Gave this fly to CYK for despatch to somewhere in a foreign land.....???


A pattern from nowhere. I'll call it the New Zealand River Fly


This fly is hot


Look at those big eyes


This fish didn't put up a fight. By the look of the unproportionally big eyes, it has got to be a stunted specimen


Bending AJ Thramer


Peacock bass on Bamboo, Hardy Bougle


A fly I concocted during the few weeks of hibernation from fishing.


Hardy Bougle


MY new Hardy Bougle, new sinking fly line and my old faithful Hollow Built AJ Thramer. An awesome combination.


I think my thyroid is back. The photographs are getting the jerky blur


This peacock bass tangled itself in a twig and I was fooled into thinking it was the big peacock bass that had got the fly.


Still cannot free itself


All tangled up


This peacock bass swirled round the twig and char-bee-hoon the leader.


The twig that fooled me.
