today trev i did whereabouts did you go fishing i went fishing in a little tributary of the hutt river right yeah it was great it was <.>such such a nice clear day and i got my little pheasant tail nymph and i <{><[>walked <.>up what? <[>nymph <.>what a nymph a <{><[>nymph <[>what's a nymph well a nymph is the larval form of <.>a of a fully grown adult insect oh okay mm and they live on along <.>the the flora of <.>the the river or whatever and they're really quite interesting little beasties anyway so <.>i <,> so you went fishing yeah i went fishing voc and <.>i i <.>s i had him on the end of my line you had a fish on no no the little pheasant tail <{><[>nymph <[>oh right okay yeah clears throat <.>and and i um and so i <{><[>walked up this little river and i <&>1:00 <.>walked and i walked and <.>i and i saw this fish and the little bastard was swimming down towards me <,,> so er so he saw me of course and then he um skedaddled off the side and he um sort of ran away from me pretty annoying <[>word right yeah so that was quite bad so um i kept walking up the stream and i THOUGHT i saw some fish but then they weren't fish they were like logs or something right laughs good spotting yeah it <.>was it was quite bad laughs so yeah but anyway um so i couldn't really um see any voc other fish so <.>i and then i got sort of about a k up the river and <.>i and then i started walking back right so did you see any more fish no i didn't you see as i was walking back i was trying to work out why i didn't see any fish well any other fish yeah <.>and and i couldn't work it out <&>2:00 so what do you reckon there was just no fish in that river well you see i don't know what i reckon um oh maybe they just don't <.>like there isn't enough food in it or something right word maybe it doesn't get warm enough for them to live in it or something like that well where is it er well it's near um well <.>you you drive up the hutt road from here <{><[><.>about laughs <[>laughs yeah okay about you know a little while <.>a near <.>r you know reasonably near upper hutt oh yeah but not quite in upper hutt no no not quite in upper hutt right mhm so you didn't catch any fish is the upshot no no but if i'd been to the wainui river then i might have caught some fish course i can't GO to the wainui river right now because it's closed right mm when does the wainui river open the wainui river opens um <,> in <,> <.>oct october so you'll be back then yeah right <&>3:00 i will on the open day i'll be there okay yeah i'll be just about off to germany by that stage what are you going to do in germany oh just something like travel round muck around hang out you know oh right er why are you going to germany WHY am i going to germany yeah well just for fun really i mean be an interesting travel experience so i <.>could word you know pretty cool <{><[>what <.>are you going to do over the summer holidays are you going to get a job this year <[>do <.>you er i don't know jack swallow wants me to do his papers for him for a while oh oh paper run awesome <{><[>you <.>c <.>earn earn one dollar an hour laughs <[>yeah well i word ten dollars no well i only have to do it like um for a few days cos he's going away somewhere oh he's going skiing probably oh yeah yeah so <.>b <.>b but he'll give me like um i don't know ten bucks or something oh that's pretty word but that's not really over the summer holidays i suppose <&>4:00 NO i don't know what i'm going to do over the summer holidays i'll probably spend the time fishing i think you should get a job like what word i don't know go round and get a shop assistant job or something <,> yeah oh no i thought about going to hobby world and asking them about it right that's a good idea cos you're always in there eh yeah well i mean the guy sort of knows me basically now right word he probably trusts me that'd be pretty cool well no it wouldn't actually it'd be quite shameful but i don't care <{><[>word <[>oh no i mean you'd get paid all right and you could probably get a discount on all you stuff you buy no that's true yeah and it would be quite cool wouldn't it and also i mean just having a job's <.>pretty pretty awesome pretty awes mm yeah oh i could go to the <.>fishing i could go to the er sports shop and try that yeah do they know you in there <.>y yeah i haven't been in there for a while actually but you know they know me reasonably well or i could tie flies for them or something oh right <.>that that would be quite a good idea <.>if are you getting that much better <&>5:00 at tying flies that you could do it professionally well i'm pretty damn good at it but oh i don't know i don't know how many i could tie i could <.>pr you know i could do it but um i don't know how any i could tie you know really quickly i wouldn't be able to do it that quick i don't think right so <.>you what they pay about a couple of bucks a fly do they no no not that much they <.>w they cost about um a dollar twenty or something and <.>i new word in the shops and they make them there what do you reckon seventy cents oh probably not that <.>fifty probably thirty cents actually that's probably a bit poor but then again you know you tie a few but yeah i mean <.>y you'd have to tie um ten to get three dollars how long does it take you to tie ten flies oh it <.>wouldn't um maybe take me um tut how many ten? yeah oh oh <.>t twenty minutes <&>6:00 oh really so that's all right yeah that's only <{1><[1>pretty flat out <{2><[2>clears throat <[1>word <[2>you maybe earn what's three er you could maybe earn nine bucks an hour yeah i'm not complaining about that so that's assuming they could sell them all and shit like that yeah but i know that there's one kind of fly that they don't have that people always want morons man they don't have any um dried caddis there right and people always <{><[>want them <[><.>ev everybody wants dried caddis i mean that's <.>like that's like wanting a mayfly and <.>a <.>or or a mayfly adult you know right you just have to have it right i don't know <.>why <.>i nobody supplies it to them right so <.>you do you get word once you get a chance well maybe yeah are they easy to tie yeah well basically what they are <.>they they can be really simple to tie if you want them to <.>th cos there's all sorts of different kinds tut but um basically not species or anything <&>7:00 it's all the same species but word er but <.>they <.>they <.>they can differ in um how people want to make them if <.>they see with all flies you can always embellish them with some legs and little <{1><[1>um wings and things which people do occasionally they think it maybe works or something maybe makes the trout bite better <.>but <{2><[2><.>but <[1>laughs yeah <[2>posier well laughs but um <.>y <.>y what they've basically are is you've got the hook <,> and then you <.>can if you <.>w er the simplest of them is you get some deer hair and <.>you well what a caddis looks like is it's sort of like a moth it's just got these big wings on the back that's the major thing about it right and so you just sort of tie in the deer hair so it's in a big sort of TRIANGLE on top of it you know what i mean it looks like voc these two wings i know yeah i know actually i've seen flies like that word yeah oh that sounds pretty cool but you <.>can you can put some hackles on them and like leaves and stuff and you can word they <.>get word on them but you know you can tie millions of those right but so you <.>can can do them pretty quick yeah <&>8:00 that'd be <.>pretty pretty awes word i <.>don't i don't want to <.>do i don't want to do too much until school c finishes oh no of course not hell laughs EXAMS wow they'll just take it out of you for the entire summer holidays word <{><[>word <[>what are you being funny laughs yeah <,> well <.>you <,> you might as well earn yourself some money <{><[>to buy that mountain bike <[>no i <.>w i'm <.>s yeah i would you know i will do <,> it i think probably but i <.>don't i'm not sure if i will or not i can't say for sure because i <.>don't i don't know i'm not sure how TIRED i'll be and things but <.>i i can say most probably i would i can't imagine myself being knackered the entire holidays right yeah <,> yeah i could try to get you a job at jackson parking but you really wouldn't want to work for them i WOULD eh i would do it if they <.>would <{><[>how much do you get <[>oh they probably wouldn't take you anyway word too young <&>9:00 oh well i couldn't lie <{><[>come on word <[>eight twenty an hour well wait word i'll DO IT well because <{><[>it sucks <[>word i mean <.>they they pay you nothing give you shit food <.>and and it's really horrible and you have to get up at about half past five to get there forget it it sucks i wouldn't mind if i didn't have to wake up so early word yeah oh <{><[><.>well <[>well oh would you be able to do it for say like four days a week or something no <.>y you basically take what they give you i mean it's <.>no you don't pick and choose <,> it's <{><[>not like you know you don't like sort of have a choice <[>mhm mm but mind you you could always um go to student job search of course but you're probably too young for that mm well you can always walk around all the shops in queensgate asking if anyone needs a shop assistant <&>10:00 <,> yeah but everybody else would have done that too why word because that's what everybody does who? i don't know everybody i imagine that's what everybody does oh good one no one does that's <.>like you'd be amazed just how many jobs you can get doing that like nicholas did that <{><[>word <[>but <.>i'm i'm sure <.>if yeah but i'm sure if there was <.>y word you know there's hundreds of people out there more wanting a job than <.>my me and um otherwise they would have done it voc well the fact of the matter is it works for whatever reason i mean <{><[>often you get jobs doing that <[>mm people word though word word you could always stick your name down at mcdonald's laughs oh i don't know if i could do that oh you could do it no i don't want to work at mcdonald's oh you could work at mcdonald's it'd be great i could come through and you could give me lots of chips or something cool yeah well er <,> bet your friends would all come and laugh at you yeah that's what tends to happen cos that's the thing yeah i don't want that to happen oh no being laughed at whoohoo <,> that's fair enough <&>11:12 <&>end of sample
