TRM are planning a series of snapshot stories about Tongariro personalities. We will try to include many local and overseas anglers and guides who are living the dream.  So you might like to contribute…

Do not feel restricted by the question line – say whatever you want the readers to know.  The invite will go something like this….

TRM Christmas Holiday Project:

For 2016 TRM will post a series titled “Tongariro Fishos” .

Most featured ‘fishos’ will naturally be TRM inmates whilst others may just appear.  Many are now enjoying the good life – having converted their passion into a vocation or retirement lifestyle.  Some even have real day jobs but their minds and hearts are on the Tongariro.

They achieve special BOF * status as they have solved the riddle of achieving the good life in their quest for job satisfaction and happiness above all else – in fly fishing.  Tongariro characters are fascinating people.  Many have returned year after year.  This series will identify why.

So this is your invitation to participate.  ‘Anonymous’ participation is OK.

TRM have asked everyone the same line of questions – they are not compulsory but should be regarded as a guide only:

QUESTIONS:

1    Name, brief background, where do you live. age, etc.?

2    When and where did you start fishing the Tongariro?

3    What was your reason to start and keep returning to the Tongariro?

4    Which is your favourite pool?  Why?

5    Your most forgettable and/or unforgettable Tongariro incident?

6    Your best Tongariro achievement?

7    What do you like most about the Tongariro?

8    Which is your favourite fishing style – dry? nymph? streamer?

9    Your favourite Tongariro fly fishing trip?

10   What else would you like to add?  Please include photos…
