Could it get any worse?
February 26, 2008 11:34 pm General, NewZealandThe best bit about having a house right on the shores of Lake Dunstan is the ability to decide at 7pm to take the kayak out, grab a rod, and try fishing for an hour before the crew catering begins. The worst bit about being right besides the shores is the poor expectations you set yourself thinking it’s time to catch one of the buggers. After trying a variety of methods (spinning, trolling, fly) I’ve yet to see a rise. The kayak has worked out surprisingly well, though proves to have quite a fast drift – which is nice for covering a lot of ground, but an absolute pain having to paddle into the driving wind to start a new one. We’re here for another week and a bit – fingers crossed for better times ahead.

Shocking! Films and fishing… sounds like bliss. 🙂

Loved it. The title of your blog is : “Life is so good, it gets better every day” and the post : “Could it get any worse?” I mean which is it Glynn 😉
Looking forward to seeing you on your way back through ChCh.. and I even have a wee present to celebrate (commiserate?) your departure from your Fun 20’s and into your More Serious 30s 😉

heya bro,
I would have thought your childhood would have educated you in this regard. “Fishing” is the activity of sitting in a boat, or next to water, soaking some bait in the water, and crucially not catching anything other than perhaps a cold 😉
