Fishing fun?

After the daily horrors of his crammed commute, followed by the hustle and bustle of a Saturday morning supermarket, a gentle spot of fishing is the ideal weekend wind down for the stressed-out salary man; the rhythmic flow of the river and the odd tweet of a bird gently washing away the week’s woes.

Provided of course they can be heard over the moaning and mutterings of thousands of other want-away workers.

    I wonder why all the people fishing are working that one little stream, when there is another stream with no one fishing in it right next to it…

    That’s what I thought Peter. Behind them is the main part of the river, and it’s a lot faster moving, but I don’t know if that makes any difference when it comes to fishing.

    It’s the Tama River Tim. Not the most scenic of spots, but it does have a good cycle path.

    There’s surely more people than fish in that river. Have fun boys!
