Sky Water

Holy smokes, it appears to be raining. Coincidentally I was also guiding today and the rain we have had has really kicked the trout into gear. Dry fly fishing in the rain is a pretty special experience, let alone when someone has never caught a fish on a dry fly at all before!

Embrace the rain. Dance for it, make sure we get enough to put our rivers in a decent flood and enjoy the spectacular fishing afterwards. Also, rain ensures that New Zealand's economy doesn't get ruined through drought and keeps you in a job, so that's a bonus. Rain also let's you flush the toilet, tease your dog by squirting the hose at it's face so it tries to bite the water as well as getting rid of the annoying 'water alert level' ads on the radio.

To make it seem like this post isn't just the incoherent ramblings of someone who has been walking all day and had far to little water and pretty much just ready for bed, here is a sick video I have come across. These guys make me want to convince some mates to quit life for a bit and go on a trout bender.
