    I always say a tough days fishing is always better than a good day at work. Thats persistence for you. Never give up till the very last pool or run you decide to fish. Theres always a chance.. That fish looked 7+ lbs to me. Solid

    Awesome video loved it. NZ trout are hard worked for as I found out recently. Keep up the great videos, love the format where you explain what happened whether the outcome was good or not but regardless just being on the river in beautiful surroundings is what its all about.

    As much as days when the fish just seem to want to be caught are good, I think I prefer tough days like that when just one fish makes it all worthwhile. They are usually the more memorable catches.

    Greetings from the US! I live in Pennsylvania and do similar videos to what you created. I just subscribed! I have a theory for some of the rejections and spooked fish. First, when the water is super clear the fish are just tough to catch. Second, I think you may be getting drag on your fly. The one rejection you got you had a good amount of fly line in the slack water close to shore. As your fly floats down the river, this will create drag. I've never fished in NZ but would love to some day. Drag is the most important factor here where I fish.

    All it takes is one good fish to make a trip, week done on getting him to the net. Id say at least 7lb for that fella

    Just on the tippet roll out with the wind…. Are you using a poly leader and tippet ring set up? A meter of 3x then terminal works well in to all sorts of wind

    • @nzadventurer
      @nzadventurer  Před 5 měsíci

      The heap was just poor timing I should have waited 😭. I also was trying to keep line speed relatively low for light touch down rather than fast speed would have punched into wind but put risk of a splash down presentation. Not easy situation!
      Yes clear poly leader to tapered leader then 3x down to 4x (or 5x which was a mistake!)

    • @TimmoMcGinn
      @TimmoMcGinn Před 5 měsíci

      Good stuff. Once you go to 5x I have found you have to be extremely anal on the knots and depending on the brand, an extra twist helps. Some Canterbury back country river fish demand it esp off the top
