January 2017 was full of New Zealand adventures. Nearly all of my excursions were taken on the South Island. The trip began with a flight into Queenstown. The first portion of the trip was spent between Gore, Lumsden, Te Anau and the magnificent Fiordland. Next, our trek continued northbound towards Timaru, Methven and Christchurch. We ventured through Mt. Cook, the inland scenic routes, took a horseback ride, and as always searched for the next largest trout.

A special thanks to Dean and Fiona, Graeme Marshall, Martin Langlands, and Jack MacKenzie and many more who helped make our travels enjoyable. Cheers!
