Picked up Gerry Foster and Chris Poynter this morning from Turangi’s 5 star River Birches Lodge for their first attempt ever at fly fishing. Conditions were OK and Gerry soon hooked and landed her first trout shortly followed by Chris. In the end between them they landed 5 out of 5 which was pretty good going. Talking to some friends at TALTAC afterwards it seemed a few people were struggling yesterday though I do know of one or two who did quite well.
