Henrik's Double

I fished with Henrik, Thomas, and Magnus on my last day in New Zealand... it was a beautiful sunny day with some big fish around... Magnus caught a 5 lb fish and I had a HUGE fish follow my cicada 10 meters... after a bit of a walk we found this beautiful pool where Henrik landed this 10.5 lb monster... It was an awesome day and one I will remember for a long time... nice work Henrik!

The Winter Family

The two weeks of my trip were spent in the Murtchison area... I stayed with at the Kiwi Park with the Winter Family... the owners Brent and Lynn Winter and their 3 kids, Henry, Daniel and Adelaide were awesome... I had the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks with them fishing and messing around... They have beautiful accomodations with a small farm and a bunch of animals... This will be one of my best memories from my 3 month stay in NZ... It was amazing how warm and welcome my new friends were... if you are planning a trip to New Zealand you have to stop by the Kiwi Park in Murchison... Here is a picture of a 7lb brown Lynn, Henry and I caught on a nymph... and a 5 lb fish that Brent and I caught the following day...
