Orvis offered personal engraving on some reels.

In NZ the Taupo region is closed due to Covid 19.

All around good guy and owner of Hanson's Fly Shop with his Dad Wayne has passed away.
I'm not 100% on the details but my thoughts go out to Trevor's family and friends at this difficult time.

In New Zealand on the North Island I fished the The Waitahanui 'Picket Fence'. Not as many people as above but the same style of shoulder to shoulder. Fishing for rainbows and browns as they start to run out of the lake and up the river. I caught a few hot rainbows and the locals look at you strange when you release em.

This awesome. Thanks for sharing Don.

Old thread I know, and I’m not trying to cause a stir.......but whatever happened with this? Did the police ever get involved?
Saw this guy fishing near cochrane recently, and knew of his “guiding” company. Didnt know he frauded a bunch of people until I looked this thread up. Maybe i’ll see him again
Last I heard he took off to BC. Scammed over a dozen locals and was doing some shady stuff with a product line he was carrying. I was hoping he was gone for good.

I dont care where Im fishing or for what species, I always try to be as fish friendly as possible. Thats why it bothered me that anyone complained about it in the first place.
My point was that people are quick to judge. So many possibilities and opinions. As an Admin I don't see an issue with the pic. But obviously another Admin acted on a complaint. It's a judgment call with no winners. Piss the OP off or piss off those who complain. The only ones happy are the local trolls.

Coulda said the same thing about a bow river fish a couple years ago. Nothing wrong with treating something with a little care and respect...after you put a sharp hook through its mouth, of course.
That wasn't my point. But carry on

The funniest part is the fish was caught in a stocked Calgary community lake. It could have been bonked and on the BBQ so who gives a flying f about the pic.

I just talked with Chris and they won't be doing the expo for 2018. But he's hoping to have something in the works for 2019.

you can't use them over there??
I only fished the Taupo area so I'm not 100% sure on the rest of NZ
"Strike indicators
When you use a stike indicator, you can add only a dye or line floatant.
A strike indicator is any synthetic or natural yarn and its means of attachment to the line or cast used by the person fishing as an aid to detecting a strike. It does not include any other material or any other object attached to the line or cast, or any synthetic or natural yarn to which has been added any material or chemical (other than a colour dye or surfactant line flotant preparation)."

I used it when I was in NZ since you can't use thingamabobers over there. It's pretty slick and worked very well. Couple local shops had them in stock.

Welcome to the forum. Feel free to PM for any details of the local area. Good to have another Taff on the site. (Parents are from the Port Talbot area)

I had a trout save my life on the Crow many years ago. It was a normal super windy day on the Crow and as I was getting ready to walk up to the next pool I saw a fish rise in a tiny corner pocket. So I change my attention to that fish and work him after a first refusal. Just then a big gust hit and a large tree falls into the above pool. It hit so hard it sent a wake down to where I was.

Awesome congratulations
