The fish from the previous post are circled above. For all I know there could even be more but these were the ones that I was able to make out. New Zealand is infamous for its low number of fish per mile but this pool definitely was an exception. For another view of the pool check out 1:11 into our New Zealand video (found under the “flicks” page or on the home page), this shot shows the one landed fish from the pool and was filmed just upstream from where the picture was taken. In the shot you can make out a couple of the other fish feeding towards the bottom of the screen as I am casting. This will always be a favorite pool of mine. Not only was it stacked up with fish, but our kiwi friend Gordy had a tent and a bottle of whiskey stashed under some fallen trees along the bank, earning it the name, The Camp Pool. Not to rub in how awesome this pool was but the picture below is of the upstream part of the Camp Pool—literally a section of river forever engraved in my mind and one that I promised myself I will return to at some point.
