Day Thirty One: Black Marabou

18 years:

It has been 18 years since fishing the hallowed lakes of Rotorua. I grew up there in more ways than one, and it has been far too long in my return.

This fly is a night time pattern. Fished slow and deep, on a sinking line it has and will take fish. At this time of year, in some of the Rotorua lakes, that fish could be well into double figure territory.
