Well it was an unexpected purchase so the cheapest available. I bought a cheap pair of Riverworks ($160.00) but I have to say I’m really please with them. My last pair were Riverworks and they lasted me ages. Even though the ones I just bought weren’t the ones I would have liked to buy they are a really comfy boot and if they last as long as the last pair I’ll be well pleased.

The sole was worse than I thought so bought a new pair.

Thanks Andy, Dave G brought me up to speed on that and after some deliberation we have decided to postpone the trip to a later date and give the family some space. A card will be sent on behalf of the club to the family.

It’s going to be bloody cold. Snow forecast for Saturday morning. Bring your thermals, gloves, extra whiskey, etc.

Ok who’s where.
Martins house;- Martin, John Roche, Dave Reilly, Karl Fontain, Jean Michel. Not sure of the address, contact Martin on 021 951914, cost $40 each.

Murray’s house;- Murray, Barry Boyd, John Richardson, Dave Grimwood, Greg Field, Mark Dell, Steve McGuire. Address is 24 Tasman Road, Otematata, key lock combo is 5001. Cost is $50 each. A couple of us may be on the couch or floor so price can be reduced for those who get the short straw.

My cell is 027 7655249. Bring your own food (there are places to eat out if you want), bring a sleeping bag and plenty of warm clothes. Hope the weather is good and the fish are biting.

cheers Murray

Thanks to those who braved the elements. We almost got away with no rain. Hope you got something out of it anyway. If any of you need a follow up to work on anything (double hauling!!) then give me a call on 027 7655249.

I’ve been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for the weekend. According to AccuWeather we might just be lucky and have no rain from about 10am onwards until late afternoon on Saturday. So rather than change the day we’ll risk it. Mainly because I have no idea who is coming and I can only hope you look on this forum. If it does turn out to be too wet we can all go home again. So bring a coat and gumboots and a thermos. See you there (Groynes fishing lakes area).

I usually fish lower down nearer the township but I’m working my way up. I haven’t personally fished the Taylor or Bowyers but I believe both are worth a look as is the south branch above Thomsons Track. I went back again on Monday. Saw plenty but didnt hook up. Pleased to see the fish that took my dry fly still in the same spot and again I lost a fly but this time on a sunken log sticking out from the bank.
