Small Stream Brown Trout New Zealand 🇳🇿 ♥
Good on you, Mark, for braving the elements. Trying to change up rigs with numb fingers isn't an easy or pleasant task. But I always say good things come to those who make the effort and what clonking good browns they were. With the rather icy temperatures, I'd say that may have had a fair part to do with why your GoPro was turning itself off when it was. They don't like it too hot or cold I had found. That's why I've since changed my type of camera equipment over the last season or 2 and just recently upgraded for the new season ahead, which I'm looking forward to taking it out. Thanks for the mention there to mate 👌
Cheers mate, not long now until another season hits, am already planning some new missions, may get out sept for a pre season warm up somewhere 😊
Hi m8..thanks for the mention. Your one tuffmothertrucker..working up that neck of the woods last week..minus -8 overnight ..turned diesel to jelly and excavator wouldn't run.. keep up the missions so the rest of us have something decent to watch .bring on opening day and some spring hatchs ..track you down and catch up before then maybe. Churs bro ..
@ShaneGroome Yea bud, had a great early spring session on the river last year, the fish were taking off the top, if I can work out how to message you I'll flick you some details
Yep..4sur ..work something out..
Cheers for another great video Mark, these keep me going. Reminds me of winter fishing on the Tongariro dipping the rod in the river too unfreeze the guides so you could cast and a quick dip of the reel after hookup to get rid of the ice and ensure it hadn't been jammed with ice. Thanks for the mention Mark, life still throwing curve balls. Cheers Neil
@@NeilgRichardson your welcome Neil, hoping to get out next month maybe for one more pre season flick........hope the temp will be a bit warmer
Thanks for sharing, Mark! Some good trout well done, well worth the mission. I was out yesterday on a estuary with some pleasing success. Always great to be on the water, cheers.
@@Tom.M_nz thanks Tom, and well done on the estuary mission, looking forward to the new season and warmer days
Wish we had some winter rivers open down here. Only get a couple of hundred metres near the mouth :^( The lakes are OK but don't have the same appeal. GL for September!
@@waitaki_fly Cheers Paul, I have a couple of options but prefer this river, lakes are one thing I should target more over winter, perhaps September!!!!🤔
Great icy-finger fishing Mark. Your minimum operating temperature is quite a bit lower than that Go Pro!
😂, thanks Paul, may brave a day in September, hope the temp may be a little more finger friendly 😊
These trout have nice faces!👍
Thanks, I Agree😊
Hey there m8..thought I recognized you on the tube..just found my new fav fishing channel..great content bro ..i was on the same river .same day but down stream of you..good results as well. Big stonefly nymph. ..we should go fishing again one day..maybe the Arnold for old times sake.??churs m8 ..
Hi Shane, this was a great session, surprised to find as many as I did. Bit harder to get motivated on those cold winters mornings, sadly the arnie is getting really willowed out now, even the home block is challenging to fish, be great to catch up for a fish sometime, great to hear your still casting a fly.
Yeh m8..totally into that..live in blenheim now so close by ..cheers ..bring on another mouse year ..love those big fish ..
Must breed em tough down your neck of the woods. Wet wading in Winter 😮 Mind you are they back country skins? They are pretty warm I believe
Hi Daniel,hmmm tough, mad maybe😊 yes correct skinz, they are quite good, get a little uncomfortable if walking really long distances but bearable.
Its always pleasing getting onto a few winter browns. Good content. I came across your channel on a comment of yours I seen on the fly life channel. Ive subscribed
Thanks Kieran, welcome🙌
summer or winter there are always fish to be found,
Thanks for checking in Neil, so true bud, but to be honest sometimes just time spent with the river is enough, was so nice to find these great browns
What a day!
Thanks for checking in David, was a special day😊
That's a great winters day session Mark. Some clonking good condition browns here mate. That 7½ lb one was a beaut. It's always awesome to be out on the river any time you can get and it looked like the weather turned it on for ya. It's good we are getting a bit of rain now though. The rivers certainly need it.
Thanks Tristan, a few surprises on this session, so pleased with the results, we have got the rain also now, much needed and the fish will be moving up.
Enjoyed watching your video, good angling, watching from Ireland 👍
Thankyou Joe, great to hear
Some really nice trout, a great session any day of the week! Thanks for sharing, appreciated.
Thankyou Tom, just trying to keep the winter blues away.......a bit over 100 days until the water opens up for another season, think I'll still sneak out another few times before then... .I hope😊
Great stuff. I have some lakes and interesting coastal estuaries down here that I'll be exploring over the coming months. Tight lines 👍
@@Tom.M_nz great bud, all the best, tight lines back at you👍
Mate are you wet wading in the winter?!! 😀
Hi Tony, yes I wet wade all year round, neoprene socks and long skinz keep me warm enough.........most of the time🥶
@@kiwitroutstalker8845 Made of tuffer stuff than me then I hang up my wet wading stuff in May!!! sod that you must be mad!🤔😄
@@tonyw9803 my wife would probably agree with you on that😁, cheers
Nice reward for a chilly days fishing! Been very tough down here, even had to resort to the canals last couple of days :^(
Yes thanks Paul, was quite surprised to find those good fish still so far down the system still, the rain has hit now so they will be pushing up now no doubt, hmmm the canals, I have not been down for a crack in those yet, but at least you know there are good numbers in them.
Quality!
Thankyou
Good browns thanks for sharing some of your adventures mate. How do you find the wee hip pack for your fly boxes? I may change to something else from a vest in the new season. Cheers!
Hi Tom, I have a fishpond usa brand bag, its great, holds 3 fly boxes, nylon etc, zip pockets inside and also open pockets, it came with a shoulder strap but I managed to get the belt tight enough round my waste to hold it. Bag slides on the belt so can put it behind you so its out of the way, I still use a small 15ltr back pack for some lunch and more importantly it holds my landing net on the grab handle. I will not go back to vests now
@kiwitroutstalker8845 Nice one that's interesting. I've been a vest fisherman (mainly out of tradition!) but feel it's time for a change. That's one of yours looks nice and compact too not a huge monstrosity. Hey thanks, few good memories from the season to get you through winter.
G'day mate awesome footage and scenery on them big brown big brown
Thank you Wayne, yes nice to have a nice scenic view.........of course the fish are always welcome too😁
Unfortunate on day one with some of them fish being quite skinny. But always good to get onto some browns anycase. The next trip, howling cold wind But the hard yards paid off with some clonking good browns. Good thing that guy camping there didn't take up too much of your water. Good video Mark
Thanks Tristan, was nice to get into some nice fish like you say on day two, but geez it was cold, the backcountry mission was a lot more successful, Pete has my sd card with the footage so keep an eye out for that one.
You have to love the wind that rips down that valley. There have been some very nice fish in their this season but not as many.
I think that was the only day I fished that river this season, and yes numbers down alot
Another great trip Mark, sorry about the delay in replying but my health took a downward turn, hopefully over that now and hoping to get out on the river sometime soon. Cheers
All good Neil, I hope you do get out on the water soon mate. Really cold here now but having great still fine days.
Good on you Mark. That's a pretty good trip away in some lovely water for yourself. Nice one. It's goes without saying but you sure got onto some "Good Browns" "Good Browns" which was music to my ears hearing that.. Some beautiful specimens indeed. Not a bad memory to store for the bank to finish off another season.
Thanks Tristan, had a good last mission in the Backcountry with Pete, he has my sd card so hopefully he will get that footage sorted sometime.
Well done ! Well fished ! Well caught and well filmed !! That’s four wells !!!
Well Thankyou, thats 5😆 cheers
The sky is beautiful! The water is beautiful! The brown trout are beautiful! Your smile when you catch them is wonderful!
Thanks, lucky to be able to fish these rivers a few times per season
Too much fun. Only takes one special fish to make a trip. You got several.
A very memorable trip for sure Paul, one of my favourites for the season.
Word of advice: Please show us more of the surrounding scenery. We're interested in that just as much as the fishing. It felt like we were looking down at the water and the ground for most of the video. It felt a little disorientating. You might have to pan out and up a little bit to include more of the background scenery in your filming while still focusing on the fish in the water. Other than that, great fishing as usual.
Love the different markings on the brown trout… Nice gear and good music at the end… Keep the vids coming..
Thanks for watching, great you enjoyed the content, browns do have some stunning markings.
Awesome trip buddy. Wished I was there. Looks like a great area and would love to go there one day with you. Great fishing and I love the spots on that bow too.:)
Cheers Pete, as you see, not great numbers but quality fish.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Beautiful place & stunning fish, greetings from Sweden.
Thankyou, yes very lucky here in NZ.....👍
Fantastic video brother, was just awesome to see such giant fish and a great adventure. Keep up the great work on such quality content. P.s gained a new sub 💯👍🏼
Thanks for the feed back, great you enjoyed it👍👍🙌
Top video, Mark. All the fish bar one from the side feeder, which was skinny, but the rest were all deep in there condition. Stonking 7 pounders, too. Great trip worthy of the hard efforts you put in with your hike. I must say it's a familiar area to me, but what a great spot. Good on ya 👍
Thanks Tristan, nice to get into some bigger trout. A great area to explore for sure
Is that a Sage X with a Sage Trout reel attached?
Hi Mark, I use a Sage R8 core rod with a Sage Spectrum LT reel, my spare in the tube on my pack is a Sage One. I'm a fan of 7# weight rods with a bit of extra length so both are 7# 9'6
so good
Yes thanks👍
What a trip Mark, some excellent fish in there, you are reaping the rewards of your efforts
Yes, a tough but rewarding mission, I must admit it takes me an extra day or two to recover these days😆
Epic trip! That side stream is worthy of a hike all in itself!
So nice to get out in the backcountry Paul, a very enjoyable trip, and yes that feeder stream was just the icing of the cake
That was gold that ending, persistence with fly changes and that one more cast brings you the chocolates, 7½ lb later. What a stonker of a fish. That's a "Good Brown" "Good Brown" Great way to cap off a brilliant trip..
Thanks Tristan, mate was an amazing trip, that fish to end with.....mate just so good. Probably one of my best trips ever, had a bit of everything during the time away, sadly with the season ending soon We have one more backcountry mission planned, hope you are still getting into them bud👍
Love your efforts. Well rewarded. Enjoying watching.
Thankyou Paul, happy you like the content, cheers
What a great trout! I agree with your wonderful smile!
Thankyou 😄
What a way to cap off the trip! Big beautiful brown on a cicada munch, doesn't get much better than that. Good work mate, I've enjoyed watching your trip.
Thanks Mate, yes he is a special fish that one, It was such a great trip, fishing, mountain biking, camping out, larger rivers, smaller waterways, spring creeks and still waters, just epic, a NZ backcountry mission is currently in the production room 😆
@@kiwitroutstalker8845 yeh nice, have you & Pete done any trips this season? I enjoy those troutstalker videos, especially at the end of each session you guys sit down for a debrief & a bit of banter.
We have not done too many, our time frames when we were able to get away have not lined up, have a trip sorted for seasons end tho
@@kiwitroutstalker8845 I'll look forward to watching it. Cheers
Hey there Mark! Your camera work is improved. I really appreciate that! I truly enjoyed seeing you land some quality trout. Beauty! It's finally been warm enough to get out for some fish here in Alaska. All rainbows here, though of a similar caliber size-wise.
Well thanks, good luck with the coming warmer months ahead, we have this month left in our season before it gets cold and frosty
Well done Mark, great episode there is still great fishing if your prepared to put in the effort, some stunning fish.
As always, thankyou Neil, yes indeed, as long as the effort gets rewards😁, in the next clip I work very hard for the rewards but as you will see the stunning backcountry and fish were so worth it
Awesome mate. Another great little session. You've done really well this season. That 7.5 lber was just awesome. Good on you!
Cheers Pete, its a pity I have to go well out of my district to have a good days fishing, but its always nice to visit old waterways from my younger days
10 000 false casts
عمل جيد
Thanks 👍
That's a red letter day there Mark on the river. That Back water run proved to be rather fruitful. What a clonking good brown around the 8 minute mark. They were all in good condition, to be fair. Great feed and tunes back at the camp site, well-deserved. That was a good watch, mate. Good on you ..
Thanks Tristan, it turned out to be a great day, the last day of this trip is done, it too is quite a good day withe the last fish being a cracker.
Great stuff again Mark, enjoying the content, that backwater fish put up quite a display,
Thank you Neil, yes it was quite the leaper, only one more clip to come, was again quite a good day with the last fish being quite a beast. Working on a backcountry episode at the moment which may be a bit longer but the fish are all so well conditioned and BIG.
Good on you, matey. Just goes to show how sometimes things start off slow & then can change in a heartbeat. I guess you fished a bit further up from where others would usually stop. You always manage to get a backwater fish....😅 Hopefully, you can take me to this spot on our next trip fishing the area. Only a few more weeks left of the season 😢 Looking forward to our last trip before the end of the season.
@@troutstalkers6922 Hi Pete, I think this reply was meant for Mark 😁😁😁
Great stuff, Mark. That fish around the 5.50 min mark was a clonking good browny for sure. Nice deep trout. This time of the year, there are few rivers without the unfortunate sight of a good number of boot prints up the river unless you go miles and miles up the headwaters, but even then. Great adventure, anycase
Yes super fat that hen brownie, fortunately the next two days were more productive, posting soon😊
