trout fishing - rotoroa, south island nz


Recommended Posts

Aotearoa, Land of the Long White Cloud, I love it.

Great photo shop job Colt, not your best in as much as some of the lighting angles are off, but you make Ken look good which is an achievement in itself.

You see… if Ken had really been in Rotorua… he’d have known it was on the NORTH ISLAND!!!!

:rotfl:

rotoroa is on the south island, the other smelly one, spelt slightly differently, is on the north!!

Although not quite as scenic, the Middle Fork of the Salmon river is a great "local" (as in same hemisphere) excursion. It's also a great WW destination, and I kayaked it in 2004. Find a good rafting outfit and you can split time between kaying/rafting and fishing.

» We have to hook up on one of these trips....

all for it. you'd love this place. planning a return (not that i ever actually made it in the first place) to kiribati mid year-ish, to have a crack at bones and big GT's if anyone interested. let me know.

use the forum. the scum that is telstra have shut down my email, and yes, i did pay the bills.
