Tumultuous Times.

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.

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

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? :-)
