Various Trout fishing videos, and some Fly Tying. The descriptions for each video will contain more detailed information.
41 Rod Breaker
Broke my rod again! Third time this season, but the first time when fishing. Totally my fault as usual. Got the section replaced the following week.

40 - End of Season Bonus Fish
zhlédnutí 194Před dnem
I didn't really expect to hook another fish from this pool having just caught and released the fish from videos 36 & 37. Hence the missed hookup and lack of third person camera footage.
39 - Back to my favourite river
zhlédnutí 133Před 14 dny
From earlier in the 23/24 season. Back on my favourite river. Sorry for the wind noise and missing the hookup.
38 - North Island NZ Winter Fishing
zhlédnutí 248Před 21 dnem
Filmed on a stream below a Hydro Dam that runs into Lake Taupo, in the Central North Island of New Zealand. Mid Winter and very cold.
37 - End of Season Big Brown
zhlédnutí 264Před měsícem
My last Brown Trout of the 23/24 season. A couple of casts after releasing the large rainbow in video number 36.
36 - End of Season Early Morning Rainbow
zhlédnutí 235Před měsícem
Early morning and just above zero degrees. First cast at the first pool. The GoPro kept shutting down. It's probably too cold for it. So, most of this clip is reframed Instsa360 X4 footage.
35 - Last Chance of the Day
zhlédnutí 355Před měsícem
At the end of a long day on the river I am rewarded with a large, energetic Rainbow.
34 - High River Rainbow
zhlédnutí 408Před měsícem
A short video this time, trying to balance the third person video with the chest camera footage. Mid morning on a cold Winters day at one of my favourite pools. The river was high and a little coloured. I was suffering from a bad chest cold, so I apologise for any extra sound effects. There were some feral pigs in residence when I arrived at this pool, but I was too slow hitting the record butt...
33 - Euro Nymphing a Pool - My Way
zhlédnutí 528Před měsícem
Firstly, I'm not a competition angler. I never target small fish. My way of Euro Nymphing is more like Speed-Golf with a flyrod. The 360 degree camera makes this pool look larger than it really is. Spoiler Alert - A fairly typical result with two decent sized fish landed in quick succession. For those interested I run 3X fluro tippet, so I can land and release the fish quickly. Two flies, which...
32 - Rainbow Revisited
zhlédnutí 127Před 2 měsíci
Fishing the pool where video number 22 Long Range Release was recorded a month back. Possibly the same fish. It was almost exactly the same spot, and it fought the same way. I will never know........
30 - The Rock Slab Pool Rainbow
zhlédnutí 3,3KPřed 2 měsíci
Hiked down to this pool. Hooked up first cast. The river flows both sides of the large rock, so you can't afford to let a fish go down the far side. Apologies for the huffing and puffing in the background. I was still getting my breath back from the hike when I hooked her.
29 - Double Rainbows
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 2 měsíci
This video is a bit longer than usual. Two Rainbows caught one after the other from the same spot. The second one took some line and put up a hell of a stubborn fight. He had a deformed bottom jaw, but was in excellent condition despite his injury.
28 - Rainbow after the Brown
zhlédnutí 3KPřed 2 měsíci
Hooked this Rainbow almost immediately after releasing the Brown Trout in video number 27. Missed the dry fly take yet again! I will get better I promise. This Rainbow was constantly rising while I was targeting (fixated) on the larger Brown Trout and I honestly thought I had spooked it.
27 - Dry Fly Brown
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 2 měsíci
I spent two hours casting to this Brown and a Rainbow that was further up the pool. I changed flies about five times. A Royal Wulff did the trick eventually. It has got to be my worst hook set since I started trout fishing three years ago. I had a lot of slack line on the water to get a decent drift, and I was surprised he was still there when I finally tightened the line. 4 ¾ pounds (2.1 kg). ...

Unlucky! But wow, what a nice fish!
Thanks. It was totally my fault breaking the rod, but the blow was softened by such nice fish.
動画始まりにいいのが釣れましたね!おめでとうございます!チャンネル登録させていただきました。
Thank you for watching the video and for subscribing.
Nice one!
Thanks!
nice video!
Thanks Joseph. I'm looking forward to your next one.
Cool bro. Know that spot well
Thanks for watching. Yes, it is a great section of the river.
Cracker mate. I'm off out on the wee burn to find a few wild brownies . Will do well to get anything a quarter the size of that one though!!
Thanks for watching Davie. Best of luck with your fishing. PS not all of our fish are big. They all start out small 😊.
Nice!!
Thanks. Browns are not that common in this river. Maybe one in twenty to the Rainbows.
Alot of free running of fish tend to control line pull
Thanks for watching the video.
Nice one!
Thanks. Yes, it was a nice solid fish. Pity I couldn't get my usual close up shot. It is always good to catch one on the first cast of the day. It sure takes the pressure off 😃.
Good morning to
Thanks for watching.
❤que buen pesca ❤
gracias
Cool
Thanks for watching.
Nice catch!
Thanks for watching, and the sub.
My opinion: Body camera is enough, talk to us, tell us exactly what setup you are using all of it, if dry fly fishing for instance tell us how you treat your line, leader tippet, etc. Just subbed. Best of luck.
Thanks for the feedback Martin, and for subscribing. I will take your comments on board. I plan to make some gear setup, flies used, and fishing tactics videos in the near future. After three years of fly fishing, I still classify myself as a beginner in this pastime. I am even more of a rookie video creator. Once again, I really appreciate your feedback.
Doesnt look in taupo basin most rivers closed now surprised quality spot open
Thanks for watching. This river is currently closed until October. This footage was recorded several weeks ago near the end of the season.
Nice fish and a nice quiet video - with no silly music we can really enjoy the river almost as much as you did. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the feedback. I have been experimenting with an Insta360 X4 for third-person footage and then switching to the body mounted camera upon hook up. I like the results so far. I'm still figuring out the art of filmmaking, slowly.
Nice work
Thanks for watching.
A couple of others, and yourself, have commented on the slow hook set, so I'll leave it alone. All that matters is that you landed it. But great fight and beautiful fish! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching and for your kind comments.
Great fish and really nice video. Thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it.
That's such a beautiful river and such a wonderful job you did! Was curious to see the fly as you remove it from the fish's mouth but it's good anyway.
Thank you for watching and your kind comments. It is a very pretty river. I couldn't make out the exact fly after reviewing the footage, but I only use two different nymphs. So it will either be the one I tie in video number 4, or in video number 14 on this channel. Hope that helps.
Would have been nice to get the fish in the camera! Afraid it was too small!!!
I usually hold the fish up in front of the chest camera briefly, but they are slippery and this one got away on me. It was an average size for this river, which is 2.5 to 3.5 pounds.
The camera that was...too small
I wish it was so!
That 3lb+ Rainbow trout fought like a 8lb striper bass. Nice catch and a big congratulations.
Thanks 👍
Wow❤❤ solo fishing
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
Wow❤❤❤
Thanks for watching the video.
this video is cool because I can hear your heartbeat. Love it. your hookset was so slow that it looked intentional.. you didn't see the rise? like thought he went for a different bug?
I was casting to him and a Rainbow a bit further upstream alternately and changing flies for about two hours before he took that fly. I had definitely taken my "eye off the ball". I did see the take but had a heap of slack line to haul in before I could load the rod. Also, I wasn't 100% sure which white blob was actually the fly until he ate it. It's better to be lucky than smart 😁.
Very slow hook set with so much slack on the water, but you got him! Do you normally have so much line on the water?
Normally no, but this pool has a difficult current and I was getting a bit lazy with my line management .It worked out OK in the end, but I was lucky he hooked himself 😀.
This is a nice fat rainbow! Congrats from Japan! 🙂
Thanks. It was a big fish for this river and a very nice day to be outdoors.
nice fish good for eating
I imagine it would be. I prefer to release them though.
Seeing invasive species thrive like that gives me mixed feelings. Rainbow trout are native to my area, and hardly ever look that healthy.
They don't seem to have impacted the native species much in this river, but no doubt they have in others. They have been here for over a hundred years so far. I see humans making a far bigger negative impact in most of our rivers. I'm no expert though, just my observations.
I want to learn to fly fish
Do it. I only started fly fishing 3 years ago, and CZcams was my only teacher.
Nice angling.
Glad you enjoyed it
Where is this river?
I can only say central North Island of New Zealand. Otherwise there will be no fish left very soon.
Nice one!
Thanks. The video doesn't do justice to his colours as this was in a bit of a canyon and the lighting was poor.
Nice one!
Thanks for visiting the channel. All the fish in this river are in very good condition. I think it is spring fed as it remains cool all year, and is not badly affected by rain fall.
Awesome! Beautiful place!
I think so too.
Nice spot and fish!
Sure is!
Nice catch!
Thanks. Tough little fellow in very good condition.
Nice fish! Beautiful river!
That river is my "Happy Place".
Awesome fight and fine angling.
Glad you enjoyed it
