Picked up John and Selena this morning from Turangi’s 5 star River Birches Lodge for a day out fly fishing on the Tongariro. Pictured here is Selena with a fantastically conditioned 5 pound Rainbow Jack. Between the husband and wife fishing team, 7 fine Tongariro trout were landed out of 15 hooked including one large Brown Trout which was the biggest of the day and John will be sending me a picture soon as I unfortunately was instructing Selena at the same time who was hooked up on a good Rainbow further up river!
