Also here I have some creeks here and when you fish there these fish are so big when you spook them they just swiming around and they stop in same place because they dont have any place to go.....its so funny to watch them.

And one more funny story.....I was fishing small river, and I do know I was first fisherman there in last 5 years. I saw nice bow sipping flies......and I said.....great...get down to river and cast.....second cast....boom he was hooked....but I lost him in 5 seconds......so normaly the fish will hide for rest of the day.....so I got back to bank I was going to chceck another hole.....but the fish was back and feeding again.....what???, so got back cast.....boom.....lost him again......and same story.....after two minutes cast boom again hooked but got away....now he broke my hook.....so after this I was 100% sure he is gone....but not this one.....he was feeding again....put another dry fly.....cast.....boom and finaly land him.....it was 78 cm bow......it was insane to see this. After relasing the fish I came back after 2 hours and what do you think....he was feeding again.

Its just amazing me if the fish not see fisherman they are copletly diferant.

Mayne boring story, but for me it was really exicitg.

That's as good as the pictures. I wonder if we'll even have rivers left in SoCal in five years!!!! This place is definitely on my radar for a trip. Like Alaska, without the grizzly bears around!!!!

Thanks again for sharing with us.

Zee,
I'm selling my house and moving in with you in the next season. I think N Z would be the perfect place to spend the winter or summer with you. :bananadance:

Nice stuff, Zee, thanks for sharing. Btw, I googled a 78 cm to inches conversion - 30.7 inches!

About the posts here.....

NZ is really great with one think and that is here is nothink I mean realy nothink what can kill you.....like bear....(Alaska), but I actualy like them there.....thats the true wildereness.....no snakes no spiders.....nothink.....so thats realy nice.

About the size of fish.....30inch fish is normal size for some rivers here....and even bigger.

Fantastic bunch of fish and water but I can't get over the coloration of several of the fish. Certain colors dominate certain waters or are they all mixed up?
