Very enjoyable. Action was average, five decent fish in three hours, biggest was five pounds. Bruce, our guide, was very entertaining to talk to. This being only our second day in New Zealand, he was a wealth of information about where else to visit as well as providing insight into the goings on in the country from an Everyman's point of view rather than a guide book. Overall, this fully met my expectations. Bruce and his son guide fishing and hunting trips and are not limited to this particular style of fishing, this is just what was working best at the time we were there. By the way, it was winter time, late May, and as you can see in the pictures, pretty nice weather to say the least. Cost was $250NZ for half day.
