If twenty odd years ago, someone said that I would still be going to New Zealand's South Island to endeavour to out wit a fish with the brain size of a pea, I would think the are crazy.

 I must be the crazy person, weeks of preparation tying flies, aided with the occasional sip of whiskey.









Enduring the discomfort of airline seats that recline in your face.  Hats off to Air New Zealand for the seat comfort unlike  ......   .........   where passenger comfort is not a priority as we are all having "fun".

Days spent walking in some of the most bracing and beautiful environments.
