Quick hitter - Christmas Day fly fishing

It's just after Christmas day and we had one of the best Christmas days I think I've ever had, enjoying it immensely with Amelia and Mitch, who has joined again for a few days. We hit a high country lake in the upper Canterbury area. The sun shone, the wind howled, and we were three lonely fly fishers sight fishing cruising browns 4.5 to 7 pounds along the shoreline. Every river and freestone stream remains mud, so we enjoyed focusing on the good waters of such a lake. As you can see by the photo, there are a few other lakes to fish. We may get the opportunity to fish them with the impending forecast! We took 460 photos today and deleted very few - a good day. The video and photos are excellent. I'll try to get to the photos soon, likely when the 650mm monsoon hits Monday am... but for now, a nice shot from high above the valley:
And yes, Phil, go buy yourself a fish eye lens. Boxing Day sales? 
Cheers & Merry Christmas.
:)
