- Trying to keep it Fresh on the channel i decided to explore somewhere new.
The Fishing was OK but the real experience of the day was taking a fall which could have easily caused serious injury, Clad i got away with it.
Still managed to get some nice Trout both brown and rainbow on the fly fishing Rod.
Cheers

Great that the day turned out well after your tumble! Love your work 👌👍
Cheers mate
the best reality film making of a mans passion , a mans failures and a mans triumphs. Nothing beats it on youtube. Hope to learn from you in the flesh this year . Dunedin
Awsome bro thanks for the comment. Hope we you can make that trip🤙
That’s one hard tumble mate. Thank god your ok .. great vid 🤘
Cheers mate
Just found your channel, I'm addicted! every time I go fishing, I talk in my head in that accent now lol!
colorado is starting to melt. but till then I appreciate you blokes in the southern hemisphere killing it for us.
Amen!
No worries bro glad to do it 🤙
I’m so glad I came upon your channel.
Me to
Glad you came away unscathed mate and nice vid as always.
Cheers mate
Love the drone footage, glad you're OK after the fall.
Cheers mate
Glad you weren't hurt. My wife severely strained a shoulder on a 15" hiking slip, so it doesn't take much. Whenever I lose several fish, I check the point or barb (back in the day) more often than not, the points off. Expect you've checked that, though. Had a little time in NZ in 2017, saw some hogs, but no tugs. Definitely want to go back. Gorgeous country, like my current location, Iceland, on steroids ;-)
If you buy your flies, they could have switched to inferior hooks. Make sure to sharpen them. If they are barbed hooks, mash the barb so you have easier penetration. A barb doubles the diameter of the hook that needs to penetrate. As always, great video. I can only dream of fishing NZ some day.
Cheers Jeff for the tips
Gah this is just pure goodness brother! Great stuff! Keep it all up!
My ankle is messed up bad after a fall climbing down to a steelhead pool.
Be careful out there people. Now I’m pretty much out for the rest of winter steel and had to cancel my trips. Definitely learned my lesson. Glad you are alright that was a close call and great video as always bro!
That suck bro hope you get back out there soon🤙
You guys are blessed with extremely beautiful nature.

Hi Gareth, when you fall you never mind the gear as long as you can walk back to the car! See you next trip. Harera.
Glad no serious injuiries, salute brother.
Cheers mate
Hi! Keep coming back to your channel and getting more and more jealous! Even you "small" ones are super! What's sad is I am unlikely to ever get a chance to fish in your neck of the woods. Keep the videos coming, I'll be back!
Thanks mate hope you make it here someday
You should totally make some shirts that have the saying, "woooe a fish!" Lol. You say that in so many videos I would totally buy that shirt lol keep up the videos
Haha cheers maybe I’ll do that
Luck landing mate, very lucky. Fell down a tomo in a similar situation a couple of weeks ago, went straight through the grass without warning. It was half a meter wide and a couple of meters deep, scrapes and scratched only, so lucky. Mental scars may take a bit longer to heal. Stay safe mate and keep the great content coming.
Hope your all better now Craig.
Yeah it can go bad fast pays to be prepared and on the ball🙏
Jesus buddy that's a close call, glad you're okay.
Thanks mate
Hey Gareth, love these videos so much! Even though I live in Scotland, your channel has taught me alot about browns. Keep em coming man, your great!
Thanks a lot mate just spent a few days guideing the Scottish fly fishing team🤙
@@TroutHuntingNZ Oh he'll yeah! Hope they didn't leave a bad impretion 😂
Its just that some days the fish are sucking in and spitting out the flies faster than other days so when you eventually set the hook the fly is on its way out and your nicking them in the skin of the lips and with pressure the hooks pull. Other days the fish chew on it longer and your hooks find better purchase.
Yep I think there definitely a bit of that there
That last Trout was obvious trying out for the Swimming Broad Jump in the upcoming Trout Olympics. As a Judge, I gave him a 9.8. Glad you're OK dude, keep this vids coming. Great work as usual!
Hahaha 😂 cheers dude 🤙
Wow that's really good fly fishing video
I want to fully enjoy fly fishing in such an environmentᆢI envy you👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing video as always, keep em coming 👍❤
Thanks heaps
I just saw the fall and all I’m waiting for is to see if your rod is ok 😂
Great video Gareth glad that your okay keep up the great videos
Some nice ones in there 👊✌️ beautiful spots on the brown👍
Cheers mate
Glad you are safe after a fall like that! Those chrome fish, and some from your other videos, remind me ALOT of steelhead. Especially, when they run and jump as high as those do. Good luck and safe trips out there 🤙
Cheers mate. These fish are the same genetically as west coast steel head. A lot have access to the ocean but they don’t go.
That would be nice thanks , but it's been a 12 year recovery and I only wish I could afford to these days . One of the reasons I like these shows . I get to revisit some beautiful places ... I did get back up to the Yukon almost 3 years ago and caught some of the nicest Artic Grayling you've ever seen . Cheers my friend
Really nice example of mutual respect between water users. Too much animosity sometimes! Great vlog, thanks!
Thanks a heaps mate 🤙
I loos them all the time!
Me too
Hey Gareth blew out my rotator cuff walking down to the water one day doing the same thing looking where I wanted to go instead of where I was at.
lesson learned the hard way no fishing or skiing all winter!!!
That suck Craig hope you recovered well and are back on the water now.
Cheers
it happens to me too man! sometimes i cant keep fish on to save my life and sometime i net all of them.
Bit of luck involved I’m sure
glad youre ok
Thanks 🙏
Lucky fella there Gareth, any number of things could have happened with your fall. Never too late to learn and get a safety rethink. A fall like that here in Oz could land you right on a Brown or a Tiger snake and that certainly wouldnt end well!
Yep for sure could have been way worse. Good. Wake up call . Cheers Gareth
Nice fishing man... stay safe
Will do
Some nice catches.
Glad you didn't do any damage on that shortcut down to the river too. Looked sketchy as there.
Yeah mate got away with it light for sure
be safe brother
I’ll try 🤙
I was thinking about starting fly fishing but I decided I would snap the rod before I learned how to cast it out of anger so ima just stay with repalas, phoebes, and spinners 😂
Na bro just give it a go.
Definitely have days where I land almost everyone one, and then some does the complete opposite!
Yep it’s a bit of luck I think
Another great vid. Just bought an In Reach for exactly this reason. Takes seconds for a great day to become an awful one.
Yeah bud I have one aswell
Glad your ok man and also very glad to hear that you carry a PLB coming from someone who spends far to long looking for people that don't carry them. Just one thing can you get to your PLB without taking off your pack sometimes you may need to like in that fall if you had hurt your back/neck and couldn't get it off. just a thought but as before glad your ok
Yes good point. I think I’m ganna get a diffent one that is more easily worn close at hand
great vid bud, keep'er goin
Will do bud
Glad you survived your tumble. Hope you get back there as even high traffic areas were coughing up some nice fish. I used to find that rivers w high DO had harder fighting fish. Have you ever tried zonkers or matuka streamers at night for monster browns? Some of my best browns were at night on olive matukas.
Yeah mate I catch some tanks at night. To hard to film the so all that’s just for me
Muy hermosos videos
Thanks
Sick vid bro!!
Thanks heaps mate
You crossed the border! The fish a pretty transient in there, sometimes there's a shit-ton, other times it's barren. Keep plugging away. Gets a real good raft hatch at this time of the year, but in saying that, it's a good easy float. Sing out if you want to do a float day there sometime
Thanks stu yep I can see a lot of potential over there. Keen to explore and maybe hit you up for that float trip some day.
Landing fish is streaky for me too. When it comes to steelhead, I'll go weeks with 75% or better landing rates. Then I'll drop into a slump where I can't keep one pinned for 4 or 5 trips. I think my worst streak was 0-11. I wanted to pull my hair out!
Yeah mate a bit of luck involved for sure I think
All I can say dude is OUCH!
Yep sums it up
A close-up of the fly would be cool.
Video that comes out tomorrow has some close ups
You should tie up some baby eel streamers and head back to swing them for some big browns.
I’m feeling that🤙
Yesterday I got a big bassin creek
I love your videos guysI'm very jealous at the great trout fishing you have I'm stuck in Virginia where all we have is a few streams that are stocked trout and easy access the streams get cleaned out in two to four days there's very little fish left if any definitely want to go to your country in the near future and do a trout fishing trip great job guys keep them comingand I would love to hear some more information about the strings you fish and how remote they are and hard to access and just a little more detail on how much fishing pressure they get and the seasons basically how they keep trophy fish in the wild streams
and I also meant to say y'all do a super job releasing the fish unharmed but I would love to see you way some of the medium-to-large fish I know this is a little riskier on hurting the fish but if you're careful you can do it thanks guys
Ohhhh, the things I would do to go to this place.
I'm in the same boat. Only need to win the lottery twice to afford the round trip plane ticket :(
Get saving boys 🤙
beware, take care friend . . .
Thanks u
Another awesome vid, love it. Maybe you could have filmed some Mardi Gras on the old gaypro, certainly gave me a laugh 😁
Hahaha 😂
Shit! Be carful man, that could have been really bad.
And best slip up ever: gaypro! 😂😂😂
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
😂 hahaha yeah could have been way worse
Have you ever filmed with your camera through your polarized glasses? Might work when your trying to point out a fish up close in the water column. Like the last fish you pointed out. Great vids! Thanks for your effort.
I have tried it before doesn't really work you get the flame effect like looking at old school car wind screens. well that was on my old go pro 4-5 anyway the newer ones might work
Cheers mate I might give that a go
@15:10 Did Gopro come out with a different version?🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey man! My first comment I believe. LOVE your channel, your willingness to explore lots of different places and lovely video here today! 🎯
Thanks so much Joel 🤙
nice😊👍
Thanksb
keep the rod down near water so fish wont jump that much and u wont lose fish..
Nope
Awesome from italy
Thanks mate hope your doing well over there🤙 🙏
Trout Hunting NZ now it’s all stopped because there is coronavirus... forgive me for my bad english😂😂😂
Hey I have that same problem about losing the fish, and I hate it.
Just a bit of bad and good luck I think
IF THE FISH GOES DOWN RIVER , DON'T PULL. IT WILL PULL OUT. MOST FISH BITE GOING UP CREEK, THEN RETREAT DOWN STREAM. ONLY PULL WHEN THEY ARE GOING BACK UP STREAM.
Went 1 for 10 the other day with netting fish. Swearing at the gods and wondering what I was doing wrong!? Went out the next day and went 8 for 9... It turns out... you just have those days...
Yeah mate a bit of luck involved I’m sure
with your hand.
Are these fish all wild? The first rainbows nose looked like a stocked fish here in Pennsylvania, US. Do they need to stock trout in NZ?
Great fishing! What class of fishing rod? Cord DT or WF?
Love the cinematics! The river looks incredible. What’s the song you chose?
Note sure what the song was sorry
Not nice but good to see we are not the only ones who run into these shitty bush whacking. Glad you are okay.
Thanks mate
me:
no one:
fly fishing video: 1.1m views!
Please be careful out there . Take it from a man who knows . I took an 80 ft. header a few years back while out fishing alone and I still have a head that pounds every day . Look me up on CZcams and read the story below the picture by David Gray . I guide here in Canada and spend a lot of time on the rivers alone other than my dog . Had a chance to fish in NZ years ago on the north island and man you guys have some nice Browns . Be safe my friend
Just got back from a month on the South Island! Loved your vid, I need to go to the North Island! Keep them coming, very enjoyable to watch.
Cheers bro I’ll look you up. That’s a massive fall glad your ok now and hope your back on the water 🤙
Yeah bro get over agin for some north island action
your not meant to reel in the fish with the reel it's for reeling up the slack.
Do you sharpen your hooks regularly?
Never
What smith optics are those? 🔥!
Que marca de linea usas amigo
What rod set up are you using??
Waoooo mantapp hadirr y
U know what you r doing guid troutman
Thanks
River Trivia: Mohaka?
No but what a cock
your meant to pull in the line.
Fush!!!
You have way too much line out..
na that's how you get the drift and the eat. you probably miss fish from being too tight
to land the fish you need to pull to the side not up and no need to be so violent with hooking them
I’m just going to assume you don’t do a lot of trout fly fishing.
@@TroutHuntingNZ no i do and ur trying to hook it like a massive sea fish not a small river trout you fool
Great video, new to the channel so I'll give you a sub. If anyone knows some good river fishing spots in central or northern Queensland that would be awesome
More of an embankment
Nope An embankment is built so not really accurate. but I get what your trying to say, but by definition it is a Cliff.
A cliff?? Thats a bit of an exaggeration
