It has been almost a year since my last session, due to work and family commitments. We finally got out for a session and getting caught in a storm destroyed any chance of a decent session. We still made do with what we could work with, getting numerous island flats fish, including this little g on fly.


















A few pics found of one of our Inskip Point camping trips a few years ago.

A lot of fun!!
