Chasing Tail...

A quick weekend respite from the terrible weather we've been having in Wellington this summer.
Nestled on a high plateau in the central North Island of New Zealand, this small, shallow lake offers up so many moods in an amazingly barren, but beautiful surround under the shadow of an active volcano.
The fish are large, averaging around 2.5 - 3kgs or (5 - 6.5lb). Whilst most anglers utilise boats. I enjoy the challenges of fishing it from the shore, it's hard, and never gives up it's fish easy, but they make up for it in satisfaction once one slides into the net.
Looking for tails waggling on the muddy flats and intercepting with a well placed cast is heart pounding stuff.
The big fish over 8lbs eluded us this trip, but they were there...

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
