Tim, Ben & I spent the weekend in Turangi, fly-fishing NZ's Tongariro River. This incredible river empties into Lake Taupo's southern end and is world-famous for trout: browns & rainbows - large and elusive.

Amazing fishing spot! Dad would have loved this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! I agree 100% - and unlike me, Dad would have actually caught a fish!
