A Great Start:

P1020741

Eventually landing in Christchurch, our initial drive south lasted all of ten minutes before the rear wheel suffered a blow out.  Although hot and tired, our hunger to fish saw a pit stop in double quick time (right).  An hour later Mat McHugh and I were stalking the margins of a prime NZ stream.  Thankfully, our efforts were rewarded with a handful of stomping trout, getting us off to a flying start.

A sorry looking tyre after the blow out!

 

 

 

 

…First trout of our 2014 NZ adventure-a solid 5lb trout…
