Picked up Peter Neil this morning from Turangi’s only 5 star Lodge – River Birches – for a day of fishing. Conditions were a little off with a lot of rain over-night – something Peter is completely familiar with after numerous trips to New Zealand. We did manage to find some back-country water that was fishable and while the fishing wasn’t ‘red hot’, Peter did manage to land several nice trout in the 3 to 5lb range after hooking ten. I would guess that Peter is fast becoming one of Australia’s foremost experts in fishing flooded New Zealand rivers!
