Hooked on adventure
Neil’s love for fishing stretches back as far as he can remember. From catching sprats on the farm as a young boy to representing New Zealand on the world stage, it’s always been his passion. These days, as a Bruce McLaren Village resident, Neil finds nothing more enjoyable than casting a line, surrounded by scenic vistas and the melodies of native birds, before releasing his catch back into the water.
An experienced fishing guide, Neil shares his love of fly fishing with his new mate and village neighbour, David. While they met in the village, the pair are often mistaken for lifelong friends. Like Neil, David has always been an active person.

SENIORS DAY OUT
The Perks of Getting Older 🎉
I woke up this morning, to my surprise,
A few more wrinkles around my eyes.
But I’ve learned to smile, it’s not so bad,
For every year I get, I’m more glad.
My memory’s fading, that’s the truth,
I forget the little things, like my youth.
But I’m not complaining, it’s all just fine,
I still remember where I left my wine! 🍷
My knees are creaky, and my back’s a pain,
But I’ve got wisdom, so what’s to gain?
I’ve learned to laugh at the little things,
Like forgetting where I put my rings! 💍
So here’s to getting older, no need to fear,
We’re just adding more fun with every year! 🎉
