Another scheme so cunning that....


TT's on at me now that he thinks shooting season is over. Wants to go fishing, we'll be planning our Pre Xmas annual extravaganza before you know it. Think we were aiming to do Whakapapa before the crowds descend.
Here's Milo with pretty good motivation for a visit. Even tho he's a little weenie that's a decent fish he's got there.
So we'll camp out under the stars, shoot the breeze, crap in the woods and all will be great with the world.
Last year we did the Murchison thing, year before it was Kaipo, Mohaka etc, and before that a day drifting hydro lake and visiting a new King Country stream. Its now a ritual or at least a habit.
December is a good trout month normally. Weather has come right, water levels are still good, fish are active and you're unlikely to be pestered on public water. All that changes on or about New Years. It pays to fill your boots prior to the fish getting all funny because of pressure.
But pheasants aren't far from my thoughts at present, so the rumblings about a far far north sand dune phezzie trip for 2010 are top of mind.
Weeeheee! Planning trips. So good!
