New Zealand here we come:

Well, Air New Zealand did us proud as we managed to reschedule our flights down to the South Island.  A few phone calls gave us the lie of the land and we headed due south in a bid to avoid those rivers which had been ravaged by floods only weeks ago.  Thankfully the information we received was blob on as the first notable river we came to sparkled clear and clean, making it possible to sight fish for trout.  Fingers crossed a stint of sunny weather would oblige and give us a fair crack at some trophy browns…
