I love your honesty and modesty. Your videos are the only videos I’ve seen that “truly” capture the highs and lows of fly-fishing! I can actually feel your frustration AND your excitement with each video👍
Haha crack up! The secret is out now. I tried about 5 different colours yesterday lower downstream. Most caught but the dead egg is the one. Chateuse was the only colour i didnt get bites on, but i didnt try very hard. If anyone wants some, i left heaps in the river on snags, up trees and tangled in blackberry! 🤣
That’s what My mom called the Beaverkill and surrounding area which is my favorite river in upstate New York. I’ve been fishing there for 40+ years and my biggest catch was 18”. My mouth is watering when I see the fish your catching. You are very lucky 🍀 !
Fog prevention tip: coat the lens with shaving cream and let it dry. Simply buff it off with a lint free cloth and good to go. Also works on bathroom mirror. Devon Olson, Tactical Fly Fisher, has a great video on controlling and landing fish. Love watching your videos. What glasses do you use to see the fish so well?
Never thought much about Fly Fishing here in Borneo but i've got my fair share of small Tarpons in brackish streams and Large and small estuarine Barramundis! Your session was epic with fish all the way! Cheeers! Mate ! That's Good fishing!
@@Olddognewtricks435 as it should be. Well I choose to catch and release, and encourage others to do so as well. But my quality of fish are nothing like Gareths, and Alex in NZ. 🎣👍
Great video Gareth well the tree target is nailed, it ain't the size of the fish in the fight, its the size of the fight in the fish, cant wait for the next video.
Try rain-x if you can get it there. It’s a treatment usually for car windows but works wonders here when it gets really cold in winter and things tend to get foggy. Will also help water spots run off the front much easier too.
Hello from Scotland! If you are from the North Eastern part of Scotland in the Moray/Aberdeenshire region then the pronunciation is most definitely "fush" .
Jarrett Landreth Hi Jarrett, just remember it looks easy because it’s an expert doing it, our Gareth is not just good, he is very good, thats why he gets paid by his clients to guide them. If you ever get a chance to go to NZ, hire a guide for the first week, it will change your fishing for the rest of your life! Harera
Crazy session mate. Is it the inside of the outer lens cover that is fogging up or the lens itself? You need to be careful what you put on the lens but you can try dive mask anti fog on the inside of the outer lens cover.
Man this is crazy, thereis so many fish there 😆 beautiful video! May you write down in description what exactly line weight you use and rod and reel specs, I see many of them are interested. Cheers! 🍻
Try adding a small tungsten bead onto the hook before you add the egg, I like to use red & gold ones, admittedly I've only used them with the Otter Egg range tho
I seem to remember divers spitting into their goggles to keep them from fogging up. Of course, as soon as you spit in it, the trade value goes right out the window...
dang - I fish in Alaska every year for the part 25 years for Coho Salmon and big Rainbows and I thought (know) we have good fishing there - but watching a number of your videos over the past week....I MUST come to NZ. I was actually in Australia fishing with a couple of y mates in 2019 and after watching your vids - am trying to get them to set up a "little" trip to your neck of the woods - where would your recommend as a starting / jumping off point for a guy from the States? Love your videography and your commentary....top shelf stuff...and needless to say - outstanding technique.
Hey bro thanks heaps. Start out in the central north island to get some practice in and get a feel for NZ trout. Then go down to the South Island and really test your skill. Don’t plan to hard as you will have to adapt to the weather and conditions. 🤙.
@@TroutHuntingNZ Thanks Gareth - appreciate the reply. The summer months where I live in the Pacific Northwest are June - August and dealing with / adapting to weather, especially in Alaska, is always a challenge. As I always say...."that's why it's called fishing and not catching". With that in mind, as the seasons are reversed down there what would be the optimumm target month(s) for scheduling a NZ expedition?
@@Madmartigan1 For most reliable weather I would suggest January - March, but fishing is great from October through April. And we even have really good winter options also.
Your aussies not too bad but..... sometimes it’s like fush . Always sounds like igg not egg tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but hey I have a kiwi wife and I’m used to it . Keeps up the great work Gareth , I’m spewing that this Covid shit hasn’t let me get back this year
You can buy anti-fog inserts, they're like little dry tabs that just sit in the gopro case and absorb the moisture gopro.com/en/au/shop/accessories/anti-fog-inserts/AHDAF-302.html
Can you do a split shot video please. I cant use it. Having three flies/nymphs works fine. 1 fly I split shot goes to hell. Thanks in advance. Love you videos dude hope covid ain't affecting you too much
You're definitely more "fish" than "fush." It must be where in NZ you come from. However, try saying "Ten Tins," that normally sorts the Kiwis out from the rest. Bloody dark video but excellent fishing, and the reel didn't graunch!! Well done ;-)
Does anyone throw big articulated streamers for trout in NZ? I’ve seen you swing some streamers occasionally but never the big 7 inch streamers that guys like Kelly Galloup made popular here in the US. Seems like a completely different approach to trout fishing in NZ than over here.
Yep, they do fish them a bit, but there’s very little float fishing done there in general. Mostly boat based stuff is either harling or English drift style. The lower reaches of the Tong or certain sections of the Clutha are good spots for smashing big streamers along the bank, but very few guys do it. Just a function of limited boat access in suitable water and very few drift boats in the country.
Trout Hunting NZ maybe you should try to keep the rocks out of them some how. It doesn’t seem like it effects your ability to catch lots of nice fish. Good work , love the videos. Nala looks like she’s turning into a great fishing dog!
I have watched alot of your videos and it seems you catch nothing under 16"!!! Do you ever catch any fish 12" or under? I cant believe the size of all these fish right in your back yard!!! As an avid fly fishermen, I think I was born in the wrong country. Keep up the good videos, one of these years, I'm coming to your neck of the woods!!!
New Zealand is crazy! I think that a combination of specifically sight fishing for large trout helps. And the low fish population allows fish to grow larger.
I love your honesty and modesty.
Your videos are the only videos I’ve seen that “truly” capture the highs and lows of fly-fishing!
I can actually feel your frustration AND your excitement with each video👍

My wife and I just fished that water back in December. Thanks for bringing back awesome memories 🙌
Fantastic river and fishing. Thanks for making and sharing Gareth!
Gareth. YOU and Alex are the only channels i watch on youTube, where i press the LIKE button before i've even watched the video..HAHAHA.
New Zealand is such a cool place! And it's like the fish get twice as big and twice as pretty
Sweet I bought some of those dead eggs when the Shop was out of the other eggs. Excited to try them now
What a session Gareth.
Epic.
👌👌👌
I’m amazed every time I watch your videos. The NZ rivers are filled with so many big trout. It looks like heaven!
Mike Bandura there's a reason we call it gods country :)

great day those bows definitely like that canal tucker, have been doing the damage here also
Thank you! U got me into start fly fishing!
No worries mate 🤙
Hahaha you started this one like I start literally every time...
tree

Great video!!
Love your vids man keep it up
Crushed it. Awesome video.

Here in the US, I use Otter Eggs with the milking veil. Deadly for trout, but just as so for Steelhead and Salmon in the larger sizes!
Now you know why I always fish a dead egg over any other colour!
very popular colour! :D
Never thought much about Fly Fishing here in Borneo but i've got my fair share of small Tarpons in brackish streams and Large and small estuarine Barramundis! Your session was epic with fish all the way! Cheeers! Mate ! That's Good fishing!

Dead eggs it is! Great session, I’m sure you caught more fish than you thought! 🤙
best of the best :)
Im from Australia and when you say fish I hear fesh😂😂 killer video Gareth
Fesh! Fush! Didig deedig lol
Awesome video as always

Tactical Fly Fisher has a Tungsten bead jig pattern called the Taco Egg.

Sheesh my best day steelhead fishing in the states was 2/4, you make that look like nothing with those NZ Steelies biting every cast!

Nice fishes, I m jealous :)
Another great day with some beautiful rainbows. You can prevent FOGGING if you clean your lenses with ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL. 👍
There are No fish in New Zealand. You can't fool me. LOL Great video.
Noice FESH, Garreth
Fesh mate🤣
Yet again another awesome video, what line do you use for nymphing?
Crazy session mate. Is it the inside of the outer lens cover that is fogging up or the lens itself? You need to be careful what you put on the lens but you can try dive mask anti fog on the inside of the outer lens cover.
Them fish been pumping iron
I use johnston and johnston baby shampoo in my swimming googles to stop fogging. Just put a drop on, rub around and wash off.
Yep, shaving cream does the trick EVERY TIME!!!!
I heard the improved clinch knot isn't any better than the regular clinch. What are your thoughts?
Have you ever tried fly fishing for salmon in new Zealand? If so how would you set up for that?
Man this is crazy, thereis so many fish there 😆 beautiful video! May you write down in description what exactly line weight you use and rod and reel specs, I see many of them are interested. Cheers! 🍻
i was really wondoring where do you fish you catch monsters all the time
I love watching your videos but I don’t know how to fish the rivers
Try adding a small tungsten bead onto the hook before you add the egg, I like to use red & gold ones, admittedly I've only used them with the Otter Egg range tho
What gopro do you use im in process of purchasing one,looking at 7 as seams to be more steady than 6?? Would appreciate your thoughts.
I seem to remember divers spitting into their goggles to keep them from fogging up. Of course, as soon as you spit in it, the trade value goes right out the window...
was it on the did igg?
Ugggghh this is painful. I have a ticket to New Zealand and I can't use it..... Turangi....be back in 1 year
Nathan Walker , the area is going well at the moment, no tourists, no guides.......heavenly.
Almost like shooting fish in a barrel. Crazy day fishing. One cast, one fish. Well, almost.

II tried deer fur as a strike indicator, will it work Gareth?
Augustus Elliott No, wrong type of structure, natural wool has lanolin oil on it and therefore it floats longer.
Is the dead egg a pegged egg or a rubber egg or just a tied egg? Went to the web site but hard to understand how to rig them.
It’s a soft plastic, just slide on to hook over a thread base and glue
Does anyone throw big articulated streamers for trout in NZ? I’ve seen you swing some streamers occasionally but never the big 7 inch streamers that guys like Kelly Galloup made popular here in the US. Seems like a completely different approach to trout fishing in NZ than over here.
At night the take big streamers no proplem not that commen during the day

Yeh a bit on the fush side
Where do u buy the dead egg pattern from?
There a link in the description
Cheers
I did find that but thought they might be ready made
Looks easy enough to make tho and add a little flash
geoff dickman www.flyshop.co.nz has some ready made but not with the veil
Garth, why do your reels sound like they have rocks in them?
It’s mainly caused by the rocks in them😂
Trout Hunting NZ maybe you should try to keep the rocks out of them some how. It doesn’t seem like it effects your ability to catch lots of nice fish. Good work , love the videos. Nala looks like she’s turning into a great fishing dog!
Slaying em is right. Where's your dogs collar?
Why do the fish lose their color and turn black?
Is that the upper hine?
James Cooper ,seriously?
U tie your own flies ? Hav vid?
Na sorry no towing vids. But I do tie

New Zealand is crazy! I think that a combination of specifically sight fishing for large trout helps. And the low fish population allows fish to grow larger.
Our legal limit is 350mm, and those are pretty tiny comparatively
Hi James, some places the legal minimum was 530mm and fish over 650mm had to be put back for breeding stock, e.g. Tarawera Lake? Harera
@@pierevojzola9737 yeah, but the 350mm is there for this fishery. Tarawera is a bit different and yeah... shut up about them
Sometimes I hear fesh
'fursh'
