lol… yeah mate .. timeline you have correct…..I was at Lincoln uni in 77… we fished the Rakaia on many occasions… and caught several samies..no cell phones then always on the piss… looking to see if I have any photos of those days…. Standby
Yes, remember those waders. Thought all my dreams had come true when my feet were finally big enough (with double sox) to fit them. No more gumboots and wet feet all morningQuote:
