Impressive! Thanks for posting. Ayr.

Nice! Thanks for sharing, Ayr.

Stumbled on the Bicardi headquaters in Hamilton, Bermuda....... A couple blocks down the road..... This is a price list they had posted there, I was pumped to hit the duty free shop on the way out! Go big and/or.... The bottle we decided to try that day. Kid in a (duty free) candy store. All six arrived safe and sound at home, no charge at customs. I think they knew exactly why I needed it when I told them I lived in Edmonton..... Cheers, Ayr.

Hangin' in Bermuda for a few weeks and have had opportunities to taste a few rum(s), so far, Ron Z. 15 year, I think, very nice. Mount Gay Mount Gay XO, goood. El Dorado, 15 year, like it, alot. Goslings Black, nice flavor. We drink this one at home. Goslings Gold, meh. Thinking of bringing back some Goslings XO, anybody try it? Feedback? Also are any of the premium Bacardi rums good? Their international headquarters are here and the high end stuff is readily available, for a price..... Cheers, Ayr

Some great shots J, Thanks for sharing! Ayr.

Dave, You're killin' me here.....we had January booked to join family there and had to cancel last minute due to unfinished busuness. The family members are returning next week, but the thought of experiencing just a little of what you decsribe here and on your blog is very attractive and NZ remains on the short list for sure. Thank you for the reply and thanks for your blog I have been enjoying it for quite some time now. Here's hoping you and Amelia will have more of those unforgettable NZ experiences in the near future. Regards, Ayr.

Hey Guys/Gals; Let's say you had a month or so from mid-Feb. to mid-March to check an item(s) off your bucket list. Where would you love to go this time of year to fly fish? Any of you know of "bucket" locations that are in the prime "season" in the next month or so? Let's here your suggestions, Thks much, Ayr.

Another great vid Jay. Thx for the mid-winter entertainment. Ayr.

Awesome pics/trip good for you! I had booked to be there for January and had to cancel last minute. If I wasn't kicking myself hard enough before, these pics add any needed velocity. Thx for posting! Ayr.

Love the new avatar GLShooter, beautiful fish ! Ayr.

Dandies!! Thanks for sharing, Ayr.

Jeff, I'm lovin' the new avatar, awesome! Ayr.

Hey Guys/Gals, I didn't take too many pics this year, but did get a LOT of fishin' in! Here's a few to share. All fish were caught on the fly w/flyrod. All fish were released, except the perch, mmmmm, yummy. Hope you all had a great year! Cheers, Ayr

The boatmen/swimmer activity has been pretty good for most of the last week on Muir. Today was different though, no/little surface activity. Fishing a boatman/swimmer under an indie, while the wind was blowing was lights out this afternoon. Cheers, Ayr.

So very sweet, congrats! Thanks for sharing the trip with us! Ayr.

Nice shots Jeremie, That looks a bit like the LQ. If it is those bigger ones are some nice fish, WTG! Either way nice shots of a nice river, thanks for sharing. Ayr.

He's not kidding, he will try them!! Another vote on the Pyrat XO, had a taste of that at SNAP's place on a fly tying evening. The flies were abominations, so the rum had to be good ! Thanks for the suggestions guys, so far I have picked up the Mount Gay XO, and the Black Seal to try since seeing this thread, and will keep an eye out for the others. Oh, and another vote for the Appleton's Master Blend, goood. Love this thread Ayr.

Hi Eric, I have the same waders, and had/have the same problem. Quality is questionable, for the price. That said, love their G4 wading boots, so far. Ayr.

Beauties! Thanks for sharing, Ayr.

Generally I spend June fishing lakes, making a transition to streams sometime in July, based on various conditions. Cheers, Ayr.

Hi Steve, Thanks to you and Randy for sharing your trip with us with some good pics! Maybe we'll see you up there next time. Cheers, Ayr.

Other books of possible interest on this subject; Peter Tertzakian, "A thousand barrels a second." And his recent follow up; "The End of Cheap Oil" Matthew Simmons, "Twilight in the Desert" Good reads, in between catching fish, of course B)

Good work, thanks for sharing. The Crystal Meth was a nice choice too! Ayr.
