Meeting Trout Fishing in New Zealand in Rotorua

09 June, 2011

This story is about a personal journey involving trout fishing in New Zealand and how I came to arrive at the Rotorua A-Z Trout Fishing School this year. The story invokes the spirit of Richard Brautigan, and American author who created Trout Fishing in America as a character in a novel by the same name. So Trout Fishing in New Zealand becomes becomes not only a theme but also a character.

“This walk is the quickest and easiest way into the mountain terrain of Kaikoura” Lance tells us. His soft voice continues, “We’ll be going through different types of terrain and vegetation, through stands of manuka from regenerating totara forest to ancient forest areas and fine stands of beech and podocarp (conifer family) forest” This is civilised hiking: no wet clothes or canvas tents here!
