Picked up Marty Sharpe at 7am this morning from Turangi’s 5 star River Birches lodge for his first serious attempt at fly fishing. The fishing wasn’t red hot but was still pretty good with Marty soon hooking and landing a 4 pound Rainbow which after being hooked legally in the mouth mangaged to slip the first fly and came in foul hooked. Soon after, Marty hooked and lost another before finally bringing in this nice 3 pound silver Rainbow hen. Marty missed two definite strikes a little later on before I took him to the main road bridge to look at all the trout underneath!
