Aotearoa Weekly Kōrero 29/4/2024
Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how's it going?
You're viewing a single thread.
We headed to Ohakune for a weekend escape with the kids. Took them for Trout Fishing Lessons at the Tongariro National Trout Centre then did a few tramps etc... was a good weekend.
Sounds like fun! What do trout fishing lessons look like?
When I was younger we would go trout fishing on a charter boat, the captain would put lures on downriggers, we'd chill out until there was one on the line, then pull it in. In hindsight this feel a bit like the UK's pheasant shooting where you stand with a gun and wait for people to bring the birds to you 😆
I'm guessing the trout fishing lessons are more along the lines of fishing in a river?
More like young kids standing with a adult around a man made pool haha getting taught how to swing the rod back and forth and basically waiting for a bite from one of the 4000 adolescent fish in the pool. Then slowly reeling them in and netting them.
Ah yes, I seem to remember doing that 30 years ago at a prawn farm in Taupo.
haha awesome!!
