I haven't been posting here as much lately but am back deck now. I think the past two months have been the most tumultuous of my life.. started a new full time position with Umpqua (Not sure if I'll guide much this summer) and headed off to meet Melbourne show, where had the pleasure of meeting Stephen Welsh. I lost my Dad (The guy who taught me how to catch a brown trout with a worm when i was 5) during this time and then last weekend I took the big plunge and married a very gullible girl. We had the ceremony on the banks of the MOhaka River on Poronui Ranch and it was everything I could dream it to be.



for those interested i have posted some pics at www.dryflynz.com/wedding

Congrats on the job and the bride. Sorry to here of your loss. My
condolences.

By the way, thats a very pretty catch. What fly did you use. More
importantly, what "line?" "Hey beautiful, watch as I wrap the butt three
times and whip it!"

Welcome back. Though I'm upset that you didn't invite your long lost half
brother to the event.

Jeez. I've been pretty much away for a while also. Really sorry to hear the
bad news. But the good news is great! And those pix are wonderful.
By the way, I still have your CD in my car and it's usually in the changer.
It draws regular compliments.
Now, curiosity is killing me: why is the red hut so famous? :-)

I'll still be doing a few days at Poronui guiding, but am glad I wont have
to do the amount I was.

Having said that, I will have more time to actually fish, so you get a
fishing compnaion instead of a guide and it's cheaper, but you have to buy
the beer... maybe not cheaper ;)
