As It Happens S02E01: "Fly Fishing Brown Trout in small streams at Maruia, Part 1"

- Brown trout fly fishing in small streams is exciting. Hunting brown trout is a game of poking about the likely holding water in a trout stream, looking for a rising brown trout, spotting the brown trout or prospecting. Stalking rising and cruising brown trout takes on a whole new level of fly fishing in trout streams and in this video, the first episode of season 2 of our As It Happens series, we join Ashley & Amber at Maruia Motels in New Zealand. A chance meeting led to us fishing together on several streams near their motel. This is the first of 4 days together and we had to apply some advanced small stream tactics in order to be successful. Look for the next episode next Saturday morning or in our As It Happens 02 playlist.
At our website we offer a free e-mail course on fly fishing small-medium trout streams that leads to our in-depth signature series course on that same topic. To take part in that course please go to our website.

That is a beautiful place. Thanks
Can hardly wait to get back! 😊
Love your videos. That looked like a rufous fantail at 1:37. Haven't seen one for sixty years. Thank you. 👍
To be fair we love the simple fact that you pointed out to us that there are many species of fantail! Just Googled that and wow, neat! Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you as we now know something new 😊
So beautiful! I fished Maruia R just once, in March. Saw some gorgeous fish but despite my best efforts and windy & rainy conditions, I spooked every one. Humbled…
Ah, it happens. Some gorgeous water 😊🍻
im so lucky.....ive been doing that all my life....there is nothing like being at the ultra high top end of trophy trout fishing,,,being in 40 years and having memories 40 yrs in..i hope i live to do this 10 more yrs........
What an awesome thing for you. Nothing like all those memories from so much time on the water. I hope you can keep at it for many years to come.
Thank you for taking the time to highlight the takes. So many videos are cut to drift, cut to set, cut to netting. The take of the fly is by far the best part. Slow mo takes/ real time sets and runs!
It takes time to shoot and capture but that time taken is so worth it! Glad you enjoy it - this week's videos (esp Sat!) will have some terrific eats in them. 😊😍👍
Excellent!! This is the best dedicate dry/dry dropper fly fishing instruction on CZcams!!
Thanks for sharing that, it's always great to hear we're helping. Glad you enjoyed it 😊🍻
Every time I watch your videos, I am motivated to at least lawn cast. Every time you come to us from NZ, I become hopeful for a return trip before I’m 70! (5 year countdown...). Thanks for the pleasurable videos and helpful explanations.
That's great to hear 😊 we're patiently waiting out this whole global situation too... using this winter to catch up and do a bunch of video edits 😊🍻
🍻 indeed!
Outstanding video. I find I have to watch most of these twice. Once in a state of awe over the surroundings, admiration of your technical abilities stalking/casting/presenting the fly, and with a bit of jealousy over not being there myself. The second time I’m able to concentrate on the actual teaching points being made trying to commit them to memory for my next time on the water.
Also, if Ashley were Canadian he would have known how to play goaltender with the net in front of that logjam on the first fish.
Ha! Yeah it was hard to know what that fish was going to do all through that time. Ah well! And like you, we too learn along the way - reviewing that missed dry fly eat and examining 'why' it didn't connect was really neat. Thanks again. 😊🍻
Me too!
Those are absolutely insane spotting abilities that both of you are having. I need to watch the close up sequences of those large trout several times to see them... Looking forward to the next episode.
They aren't easy to find, certainly, but a sllllooooowww pace to the day certainly helps! 😊🍻
Have to return to my Turangawaiwai on the Waioeka River tomorrow after watching this magical video. Just lovely!
Take us with you! 😊🍻
Ah NEW 🇳🇿 FISHED THE RAKIA RIVER NEAR DUNEDIN SOUTH ISLAND... LAKE COLRIDGE CAUGHT 10 TO 15 POUND RAINBOWS UNTILL MY ARM COULDNT TAKE IT ANYMORE..The best trout and salmon fishing in the world
Sounds like you had a great day! We're happy for you. 🙂There are some amazing waters on the south island of NZ for sure.
You guy's truely live the dream..... Soooo awesome!
We keep trying to, that's for sure :)
EPIC!!! Awesome footage!!
lots of fun in this one! :)
Great joy to watch. Love watching your adventures 🤗
Great to hear and thank you! 😊🍻
That Orvis Helios 3 rod is epic. I simply cannot believe the difference it made for me with accuracy, even when I'm being sloppy. Stupid expensive, but wow. I love it. Great video guys! Thank you.
Great to hear you're loving the performance of the Helios 3. The quality is all there:)
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for taking the time to watch. We've got a follow up episode next Saturday that shares some epic eats!
@@jensenflyfishing Wonderful! Looking forward to it. Subscribed.
It would certainly be the highlight of my lifetime of over 60 years fishing if you were in my neck of the woods and could join me. Kindest regards John.
😊 that's kind to hear. Let's hope the world stabilizes to provide that opportunity in the coming years 🤞
Those chaotic fights are the best! I continue to be grateful for you guys switching me on to the EHC and short dropper combo. I have the teeth marks to match those on Dave’s fingers in that caddie close up after my last spring creek raid. Yeah eh!
Glad you found that combo of flies helpful! They sure get the job done in a lot of situations and there's nothin' like going for it in spring creeks is there?!
Looks like I'm going fishing tomorrow after watching that epic guys don't normally fish weekends but that inspired me to go looking for water with no signs of other people thanks legends 🙏
If that gets you out then you really didn't need much prodding now, did you? ;) Awesome man and have fun!
Another masterpiece :) thank you more, more, more best regards from Denmark ;)
Great to hear! Always having fun and if people can learn from our mistakes and successes in gorgeous locations then all the better 😊🍻
Great video enjoyed watching it, I can’t wait to get back to New Zealand again myself
Wonderful🙂
We sure share that sentiment!
Wow wonderful fishing
:) Fun stuff!
Great video 👍 I have subscribed to your channel !!
Awesome to hear 😊🍻
We walked this stream about four years ago and never saw a fish. Mind you it was in February and the stream was a lot lower than this. Also stayed at that motel!
That's NZ tribs in Feb! It rained mercilessly leading into that time frame then the switch turned. A week after this vid was shot there likely would have been a fraction the fish. We'll miss being there this year! 🥺
@@jensenflyfishing indeed, two weeks compulsory quarantine is likely to put most people off visiting.(myself included) The thought of lower angling pressure does make it tempting though!
@@struck2soon yeah it'll be until early 2022 methinks. Saw Aussie border is to be closed until late 2021 for everyone coming or going so can't see NZ opening any sooner. I don't think the 2 week quarantine is even an option to anyone other than citizens or essential business at the moment, not even int'l students. But to the video... love that water. Editing the stockpile will make winter better!
@@jensenflyfishing thankfully I have kept my NZ passport valid...I might even think about going in January?(there wouldn’t be much chance of bumping into any Canuks!)
@@struck2soon now you're just bragging! ;) kidding. That's where we might be a little jealous. Filed under "must be nice!" But 2 weeks quarantine in a hotel for $3K... hmmm....
...Magnifique cession de pêche !! Merci. Quel endroit !!! C est un bel parcours, avec de magnifiques et multiples belles prises L eau est vraiment claire et semble très propre ...
It is a stunning location and beautiful water, definitely. We have always loved that stream. Hopefully we can all go back sooner than later!
Thank you, I'm from France !! and it s a real pleasure to follow you. Each of your videos is a wonderful discovery, for people like me who are passionate about fishing. You are passionate about this respect for catching fish until you release it. It is a communion, between the elements of nature and you. thank you, best regards to you. Didier
@@didierpiasecki6994 that's wonderful to hear and good to hear from you 😊🍻
@@jensenflyfishing 🍻🙏
Worst net man in the history of nets 😂 haha just kidding, was a tough few fish there 😉
Net men just don't want to deep dive under logs any more. They don't make 'em like they used to! 😉🤣
@@jensenflyfishing I am traumatized from my dad "net the fish, get it! No not like that!" 😝
@@JesseMartineau Ha! Funny. Nothing worse than being net man! :) Funny story - writers John Gierach and AK Best fished together often and I was fortunate to guide them back in '98. AK hooked a 24" brown and I was told by John to steer clear. "We have only 1 rule in fishing together... net your own damned fish!"
@@jensenflyfishing lol that is the rule my friends and I adopted aswell 😉
Is the increase in pressure on this stream (and others there) due to more people seeking out alternative activities due to COVID, or just an increase in fishing pressure in general?
Just an increase in pressure in general and more to do with many of the waters in the area having mouse fed fish which tend to get large, hence the draw for anglers.
And ur not the 1st person to get owned by a mouse fish especially looking at that log jam 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah a stick with 3x on that fish wasn't going to win the tug o' war in that! Ah well eh? :)
Is it ethical to throw a night crawler at them? Or is that cheating?
Not sure the bait regs as we fly fish, but with a light line and leading the fish and drifting it in with a small pencil lead you'd likely take every one 🤣
Tell Orvis to drop the prices of their shit
Yo. Orvis. Yeah. Nah. We don't have much flex. Back to editing. 🤣🍻
