Picked up Peter and Anne from Riverway General Store And Outfitters this afternoon for a few hours fly fishing the Tongairo. Peter claimed to have very little experience at fly fishing but soon prooved he was very modest about his “fishing” experience, never once getting in a tangle. There were a huge number of other fishermen out but fortunatley there were a few trout around and Peter managed to land 2 out of 5 hooked for the afternoon.
