Ross Wilson slays on Tongariro

Took my mate Ross Wilson from Northpower fishing today on the Tongariro. It is Ross’s 6th go at fly fishing and he is starting to get the hang of it. By that I mean I had to tell him to shorten up his cast so he could obtain a controllable drift through the hot spot rather than casting to the other side. He is getting to the stage where he feels the pleasure of casting nearly as much as hooking trout. Ross had his best morning on the Tongariro this morning hooking around a dozen good rainbows averaging over 3 pounds and he did this all completely unassisted. The photo here is of Ross attempting dry fly for the first time. Unfortunately we caught nothing as dry fly hasn’t really been starting until around 2pm which will now by 3pm with daylight saving.
