Yep just below the pool there looks to be a reasonably straight-forward crossing to an inside bend, but unfortunately when you get to it you find a hole of 8ft, by which point you're committed to going down the rapids. It's very exciting.

Cheers, Paul
It's an exploration; bring flyrods.

If you're feeling less adventurous next time cross 2-300m further downstream at the tailout of a flat pool. It's about thigh deep all the way and perfectly manageable.

The view that met me when I awoke super early to go fishing. Didn't bode well for the weather, but sure was pretty.

This was what we were rewarded with after risking life and limb for a shot at some Grayling...stunning sunrise.

Hunting is off on account of the snow, so the fuckers are gathering in the trees in my garden, gloating..

Snow. It has been a very wet summer so many chicks perished. We only have wild stocks of pheasant (wild like in New Zealand trout wild). No farmed pheasant shoots like in the UK, as we call it clay pigeons with feathers. It is all hunting on foot point, flush, shoot and retrieve. Birds and hares are having a hard time right now, so they don't need a bunch of people shooting them.

The rest of the country is having trouble getting to work on time.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Just a picture from summer 2010 to remember what to look forward to :) . This is a seagoing arctic char returning to its lake.

Best for 2011 ! :kungfo:

While wading at Old Bundegi flat in Exmouth with my girlfriend the day before Christmas, we were joined by a rather large hammerhead shark.

We estimated it to be somewhere between 4.5 to 5.5m in length and at the time this pic was taken, the shark was closer to us than we were to the shore.

We stopped fishing shortly afterward!

Not the time to start running?

I would leave a brown chum line anyway..... :kungfo:
