Always a good time at the Dobbs. Jack below is getting to grips with Timothy’s compound bow. He did pretty good! The boys took him up the tree hut as well for some bug-hunting!

Easter with the family…

We all decided to hang out for the day today and just spend some quality time. I drove the Stone crew up to the Hurunui river for a spot of trout fishing. Jack and Sarah did some excellent casting!

Then it was off to the Waimak by the mouth for a quick spot of Salmon fishing. Heaps of people down there and Jack had a go at a bigger rod. He ended up having fun by throwing himself in the river!

Family Fishing Day at the Rakaia Gorge.

We all went to the Rakaia Gorge today to have a fish. I really wanted to get Jackson started with the spinning rod and also try him on the fly rod.

It turns out he was an excellent caster, and hit the far bank a few times! I also have him a go with the fly rod and he seemed to get the idea.

A few small rises, but they were mostly tiddlers. It was really just a great practice day for Jack to learn his casting.

I think I’ll take him up a real back country river next and see if we can get him into a trout! He’ll love that!

Great mates!

Jack and Livvy just adore each other. They’re such good mates and I think Jack is loving that she’s getting old enough to play with him.
