Here fishy fishy fishy!

So we've discovered a new hobby. Well more Tim found a new hobby... it's fishing! More specifically fly fishing. The flatmates Juliana, in the picture below, and Steve have been gonig fishing quite often. On our first fishing trip, we went a really nice dock (in the pics) and fished off of a peir. Within 5 minutes, we caught our first fish! It was also Juliana's first fish in NZ and as well as mine! A nice rainbow trout! kinda skinny but good eats. Then 15 mins later I got a bite and reeled him in. BUT not knowing you have to tire the fish out, I pulled him in and he paniced and got away. Sooo sad. HSR was too busy screaming and jumping up and down to actually document the occasion. Sorry folks! But TAL honestly did get a fish... and it was big!
With fish fresh in our heads, we went out again the next day. But this time, 3 hours and NO bites. HSR was pretty bored that time. After that sad fishing trip, we set our again... the next day! This time we went out at night. And TAL must admit it's very hard to fly fish at night. You cannot see your line or fly and you cannot even see where you cast. SO after an hour or so of bumbling around with flies and lines we decided to turn in. Today a coach, Daryl Shelford, told me that his brother caught 5 fish last night in an hour! So I think I'm might try to talk the flatmates into fishing tonight! Sidenote: Daryl played professional in NZ and England and now helps coach our team and the premiership team I'm going to be playing for in NZ. Moreover, his brother, Buck Shelford, is the only New Zealand All-Blacks captain to never (NEVER) lose a match. He is a celeb here... he is equivelent to Joe Montana, a household name! Crazy...
