Saturday morning 9 am peak hour rush – Turangi style…

This is a well known trout pool affectionately known as the Troll’s Hole or Bridge Pool on SH1 where it crosses the famous Tongariro River.  Nothing remarkable about that except it is the most popular fly fishing pool in New Zealand…

But this is also at peak time – 9am on Saturday morning.???

Look at the queue desperately waiting to cast into this arguably the most successful pool in NZ.  Not a soul to be seen?

A beautiful sunny day with a frost to start.  The conditions are as perfect as it gets, river level is OK, still a bit murky after recent rains, flowing around 30 cumecs (m3/sec), no wind, but no anglers?

(SWMBO blames BREXIT?)

This is more like what it usually looks like…
