    Picked up a mate from the airport who's here for 2 months fishing.
    Went straight to the Canterbury high country for 4 days fishing.
    Poor bugger lost a big 4kg ish brown on day 2. Little black nymph did the trick but the hook broke at the bend.
    Day 3 he broke his very expensive german #7 weight rod on a small brown. Very bad luck ! So now only has light #5 weight Sage rod as back up.
    Day four he caught this 4kg plus fish on a dry fly with the #5 rod. Pretty awesome to watch and land it for him. Now the previous dissipointments are all forgotten.

    Then he catches this 3.5kg one 3 hours later on the same dry fly in another pool 5km up river.

    That was the icing on the cake and ended his best day fishing ever ( and he's fished all over the world).
    We landed 30 fish between us in the 4 days.
