I thought I would respond to you plea for news ..I think the questions were too hard ..but here goes !!!

My name is Colin Anderson and I live in Auckland and have just celebrated my 70th birthday..

I do enjoy my fishing trips and getting away to the peace and quiet in Turangi .. It’s great to stay at the Tongariro River Motel ..the location is great and easy access to all of the river ..full service included by the congenial hosts who go above and beyond with everything including bringing back you thermos from the river when you leave it behind !!!

Memorable moments include last year ..very forgettable for the lack of fish , but this year (2015) was great ..lots and lots of fish ..many broken off ..and super days fishing..

Ross is always very generous in letting you know where the best places to fish are , and this year we had a ball in Duffs pool ( even though the may be some doubt about the name ! )

The quality and the quantity of the fish this year was super and hope it continues like this ..looking forward to more of the same in 2016
