Well what a season of fishing it’s been so far! Covid 19 has actually totally shut the world down at present and taking a trip abroad is a remote memory for all of us. For lots of towns in New Zealand who are so greatly dependent on over seas traveler’s it has actually totally brought them to their knees. Task cuts, minimized working hours and some cases companies closing their doors till more notification! A number of us who remain in the tourism/hospitality sector have actually been struck hard and with things not looking most likely to alter whenever quickly we have actually needed to discover other types of work. Ive been fortunate enough to have a couple of days occasionally directing Kiwi Anglers (thank you all a lot!) who have actually checked out Wanaka which has actually been wonderful, together with some other part-time work Ive protected things have actually been “OK” up until now. I think the “silver lining” for me in the existing circumstance is having the chance to fish a bit more myself than I would normally be able too due to my hectic guide schedule. I was fortunate sufficient to get in to the Fiordland area to fish with number of mates in early November which was something Ive wished to provide for several years however simply have not had the time! I have actually likewise delighted in more time fishing with my 12yr old child Louie who is ending up being a skilled angler and becoming a great boy which I’m delighting in belonging to. Checking out brand-new water together with reviewing some old ones has actually been really enjoyable.The fish have actually been much more unwinded and I have not seen another angler on any of the rivers I have actually fished on all season to date. Below are some pictures from the previous couple of months … and I want to go out a little bit more this season to the maximize it! Make sure everybody and remain safe and I eagerly anticipate seeing a lot of you back after things kick back to regular … what ever that may be!!:-RRB-
