Trout fishing in New Zealand,the land of huge trout in the lakes and rivers of North island of NZ.Many moons ago when i was a young lad i went trout fishing to a river called La fountain in Haryhary in south island of New zealand.I crossed the river walking on a huge fallen log,to go and get permission to fish the river in the farmer's land.on my knocking the door a young,attractive girl opened the door and with smile asked me what i wanted.after i told her,i heard a rumbling noise from inside,and she said 'Dad says its alright'.I fished the river and landed half dozen and kept one for my dinner for that night.After 4 hours of fishing i walk back and sat on the fallen log and watching these two trout summing in a shallow pool and i was dozing off so i got my cheese and onion sandwich out of my backpack and had a bite when i heard a soft vice saying good day to me.I turned and saw the farmer's daughter with a rod in her hand and asked me about fishing and what i was eating and before i could say anything we ware hand in hand on our way to the farmhouse for roast mutton and potato.After the feed she asked if i was interested to see her trophy trouts to which i said yes.Walking towards wool shed i kept thinking "What a place to hang your trophies".Inside the shed she started to kiss and cuddle me silly boy like me keep asking about the trophies and with enthusiasm saying "I want to see them show them to me".At this very moment the door kicked open and a huge man with green old torn out overall,big boots an old discolored hat enterd and waving an axe handle saying "I will show you this you bustard" lifting up the axe Handel.I had to jump through the window and run for may life and him shouting and cursing and waving the axe handle and gaining on me.I was shitting bricks and running as fast as i could until i got to the big log and he was inches away to grab me.I step on the log and from sheer fright i lost my footing and fell head first into the small pool and when i came up and opened my eyes i was still holding to my darn cheese and onion sandwich!!!!Tight line.
