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

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.
