... Good turnout, must have been 45 there. Their membership is about 55. Met Tony Baker the NZ President of IFMR, referred to me by Tony Moyle. We are going to his place on Friday evening.
Yesterday we went for a bit of a drive, first to the Trout Hatchery, they breed and stock the local lakes with about 100,000 one year old trout every year. All tagged so that the fishermen are encouraged to return ...
