I live in NZ and some of the best filmed YouTube videos are from an American angler and his wife (Jensen fly fishing) who fish here over the summer months.
Currently it's summer here and the cicadas are due any week now. Life goes on as normal as there are no Covid-19 cases in the community so life is good.
I was there many years ago: beautiful country, nicest people I've ever met, great local beer choices, some of the most beautiful water I've ever fished, and a place I long to visit again.
