At the peak of summer water levels can get low and water temperatures can get warm. In this video we do a lot of driving in search of cooler water, good flows and happy trout - those vibrant rockets that eat without fear and take you on once hooked up. Big brown trout in some gorgeous countryside!

mate - your ethos on stressed fish is to be applauded. May you catch many many more on those colder days when they are ripe for the picking !
we simply wish more anglers, esp over there, stopped to consider this stuff. F&G is so focused on trout catchability and not survival when it comes to warm water that the messaging is lost. Hopefully ethos enters, it'll be important come the future when trout habitat takes another downward step as human impact takes its toll. Always hoping and hoping to help. Thank you for your note. Dave
Man, that eat at 20:00 was SOOOOO SATISFYING haha. It was like fly lands, head up, slap 'em!
Oh hell yes it was 😊🥰😍
Another epic video .your filming separates your videos from the others . And more beautiful dream Brown trout .
thank you - we try to share our experiences and thoughts as we film the interesting & naturally beautiful :)
Respects to how you guys treat the fish as the conditions shut down the fish. We should all learn from this.
It's not hard to pay attention to a few details and to get to know trout behavior. It really is something that any angler can learn and apply to their trout streams.
2 things to say. I love the footage you guys film. Amazing quality and skill and number 2 i greatly appreciate the fact that you respond to comments that are sent to you. Thank you for being interactive with us
You're welcome and we appreciate you acknowledging this. We've always felt that what is social media without actually being engaging with others. Otherwise it runs the risk of just being a "look at me" and we don't care for that. If you take the time with us, we like to honor and take the time with you:)
You guys are an awesome couple -- keep living the dream.
We're definitely trying to! Glad you enjoy what we share 😊
Thank you for preaching conservation!!! Take care of the fish for our grandchildren the way my grandfather did for me!!!
Absolutely a focus as we move forward in our shares 😊
You guys are the best.
Just trying our best to share our experience and perspectives! 😊🍻
Dream fishing ! What superb filming and fishing - I’ve had a few big chalk stream fish like that here in England - but never seen so many big trout in such a small stream !
Keep seeking out the neat spots wherever you get a chance to fish and you'll be pleasantly surprised. It's often the one's that you'd easily right off that have some great fish waiting for you:)
The brownie at 22 mins was a tank, Dave! Lovely handiwork. Also, nice to meet you and Emilia on the river last weekend. Tight lines. Chris.
That one was definitely solid throughout its length. A beauty of a find for sure.
Yes, great to meet you as well. We hope that pool you were at and hopefully a bit above offered up some more fun after we left. Turned out to be a bit of a funny day for mixing weather and lighting which made for slightly frustrating filming but AJ got a few beautiful browns to net.
Thanks for releasing so much great content. You guys follow the herd.
Great to hear 😊😜
Oh how I miss NZ!
book it! :)
Spectacular footage, especially that brown at minute 22.
Definitely loved that one 😍
Those new non descript pieces of water are great when they pan out like this. Some stunning fish, great vid guys.
even to only find a few fish and have a go as we poke about neat valleys :)
C' est toujours , incroyable de voir la qualité de vos diverses prises qui se succèdent dans votre cession , de pêche ,aussi magnifiques les unes aux autres ... La qualité de l eau doit y être pour beaucoup . Encore merci,quel plaisir de vous suivre .
We do try to find the interesting waters, the out of the way neat ones where there might only be 5 or 6 in a day's effort on the rod, all the while letting the camera pick out what it sees in the valleys we walk. :) Glad you enjoy our efforts and shares :)
That kind of water is the kind of trout fishing I live for. August and September . You are right about heat-stress fish. I generally will not fish when the temps get into the upper 60s. Since I retired I have the time to just waited out the weather. I like overnight lows in the mid-'40s and around 70 to 75 for a high. In my part of the US, it's mid-September. I got a good tailwater within a 1.5-hour drive. I love to fish #18 and 20 PTs as tied by Frank Sawyer. 2022 was a historic low water year for us even on the West Branch of the Farmington we had just 55 to 65 CFS, but also some of the best dry fly fishing ever. Cold water and the fish was just looking up. It was fantastic. The other streams I fish was well so low and warm, I just leave the fish alone.
amen to that all. I suspect that, at 50 years old today, that in my lifetime we'll have mid-summer rest periods where there simply is no fishing at all for 4 to 8 weeks mid-season, leaving trout alone, then being able to enjoy 2 or 3 months spring & fall. Our planet and our herd's impacts and interests are pointing to that unavoidable result.
Know I am jealous, nice place, great trout and fantastic skills. Love it, welcome to NZ
Thanks for the welcome!
Keep on exploring and seeking out the best in your own fishing. 😊
Absolutely amazing photography.
thank you!
Добрый вечер .Всегда как новый фильм .Наливаю чашечку кофе и просто отдыхаю .Наслаждаясь рыбалкой .
just finished the morning coffee in New Zealand and replying to your comment on a video of fly fishing New Zealand. A good day :)
Excellent footage!
gorgeous series of waters to poke about :)
Schöne Bilder, schöne Fische, Tight Lines! 👏👏👏👏👏
our favorite waters :)
Интересно, красиво, эффектно, профессионально, спасибо!!! Всего Вам доброго!!!!!
Very wonderful trout streams and trout. Well worth the challenge in fishing and filming. Glad you enjoyed this.
just one word guys Quality in all aspects
Thanks. Just trying to share some thoughts as we go along with some nice fish :)
Nice! Well done u two!
So lucky to fish such nice spots! I love it!
Thanks- we love these kinds of streams and taking the time to find them 😊🫠
15:06 this type of water is, often, all I focus on these days. Always a fish there.
Absolutely 💯 😊
An Amazing video in which I was totally emersed in. Loving your content. I will make mention of you that it would be great to have many more anglers out there with the attitude and care for the fishery and recognise the situation in front of them like you guys. The example I'm referring to are the fish in the stream in terms of there behavior due to eg the water conditions, but most importantly as you mentioned, not so much the water temperature but the oxygenated water, or lack of which impacts the feeding behavior of the fish as they become sluggish. Why cast at these fish? Why not realize that they are already stressed, so why add more to their misery by striking a hook in its mouth and having the fish expend more energy. Leave them be. That touched the heart. Like I said, we could do with more of that attitude from many others. I'm sure there are others out there, but it has become a little ego driven to a certain compacity in fly fishing, particularly with some of the younger generation these days.. Great film, guys.
We're in Timaru getting supplies and re-upping the calories for the week ahead as I type this. Everything you wrote is the point of this video, which we truly hoped would connect with more people. Most of what we share is how to and everyone wants to know how to catch more and bigger fish. Part of the how to is the how to know when to leave them alone, spot on to what you shared and the visuals of this video. Thank you for recognizing it and speaking to it- it's going to prove paramount to our marginal water trout fisheries moving forward. 🎯🍻😊
@jensenflyfishing OH awesome. Timaru is my town of birth where I spent 32 years of my life. I'm in Ashburton, an hour north of Timaru. "Enjoy." I hope you have a great trip over here. I'm sure you will. But everything you share on the river during your films really does resonate with me. It's inspiring, to say the least..
@@HighcountryFlylife :) that's neat. Timaru - we'd spend more time there if there was more immediate fishing as it's such a great place. :)
Beautiful footage and grea
T sstrategy 👍❤
Thank you - we love these waters and the opportunity to share :)
Yup, cattle. Got a lot of them on Trout streams here in Wisconsin. I've learned that Trout know the difference between cattle and predators. They see them every day. Trout may move away when cattle are about, but generally aren't spooked. Just give em a little time and they will move back into feeding positions when the cattle move along. Also, never mess with a 1500 pound animal. They'll win any physical argument you might have with them and farmers really hate it when you mess with their herds. Often it's best to move away and let them have the stream. Especially if there are calves about. Head bobbing, snorting and stomping are their way of telling you it's time to leave.
Amen to that. And it's amazing to watch trout and cows. They'll rise and rise and rise as cows/bulls run, stomp and hump on the bank a rod length away. But put a #16 Adams on a 16' leader to 5x anywhere near them and it's game over. 🤣 part of the love affair of it all. But cattle and cows just are so damned predictable and there's nothing worse than a herd of young bulls to obsess over your presence... well, other than paradise ducks with a nest! 🤣
@@jensenflyfishing Oh yeah, ducks. Amazing how they always pick the best honey hole on any stream to do that damaged wing, flopping around on the water thing to try and lure you away. ;-)
@@billschlafer I'm not sure if you've been to New Zealand but the Paradise Duck is almost as large as a Canada Goose and spring - late summer the pairs will obsess and essentially paddle the pool/run you are in the entire time you fish. If you get on to a tough fish and spend 90 minutes, imagine fingers-on-a-chalkboard screeching at you the entire time, then watch it flap and smash the water and send the big brown you were working directly at you as it spooks it. As you described, just more mortar and grenade like feel than anything we have in N America! :)
at 2:54 there is a very long and eel-like fish in the bottom right corner of the screen swimming away downstream, does not look like a trout, what is it?
that's an eel :)
Wow! What a skill. Are these sea run brownies? That would explain the size
They are that - a definite mix of them anyway 😊
What is the stream access law in NZ? Is it like MT where you can access from a bridge and stay within the high water mark? Seems like that opens up a lot of options for a DIY trip.
It does lead to good diy trips which is why nzf&g are adding a $50/day fee to various back ctry waters next season. Generally there's a queen's chain access strip along most rivets and that ensures water access.
😀
😊
As fly fisherman and woman, you must be sensitive to climate change issues and should witness the insect decline and water stress in the different region you explore.
How do you apprehend all these fossil fuel costly trips that you make all year long?
Personally I find it contradictory and tend to explore the rivers closer to where I live, even if it means catching smaller fish.
This is always an interesting discussion point when it comes up and is a human condition consideration and nothing really to do with fly fishing. The reality is that the sum total of our lives as spread out over a lifetime will end up eerily similar in our carbon footprint. Where you might stay close to home in your home state or province and drive 1 to 3 hrs to fly fish, our home waters are 5 minutes bike ride to 15 minute drive in an economical vehicle. Where our lunch might be of backyard veggies maybe your lunch is of some form of meat, which takes far more footprint to produce. Where we've spent our lives devoted to protecting habitat and fish populations (see jensenflyfishing.com/?page_id=250) maybe someone else has never done anything in that realm and is a pure consumer. Ultimately, after 70, 80 or 90 years if we're lucky, after minding our lives the best we can while realizing that we humans can justify every want somehow, we've lived and had essentially equal impact as life's seasons balance out. Hence why large, societal wide impacts are the leading causes of climate change (power/refrigeration etc) and change of those only come in time and as the mass of our herd affords and accepts it. We all live with the reality that our sheer existence is part of a herd that has manipulated this planet to its knees to our wants and wills. We could say that we've done far more to tip the scales in favor of the environment but the reality is that our existence has undoubtedly impacted something else, no matter how unintended consequence that may be. So, like you, we find living quite contradictory. But we accept the whole of the human condition, do our best, live in our own hypocrisies and do the best we can as we can as one brief generation leads to the next.
Wow - your virtuosity can be felt from here Epicfish. Thank you for laying him down softly Jensen (he got absolutely wrecked). This channel not only provides the best fly fishing content on YT, but also one of the best to demonstrate 'on water' ethics and etiquette when enjoying the sport we love. Every young fly fisherman should watch this channel - and to be brutally honest, the fly fishing community is lucky to have free access to this content. They are doing this on their own dime, and they are the ones who actually jumped to take action to make this channel. If you had the opportunity/skill to live off Gods creation in New Zealand and create this content, you wouldn't? LOL
@@jensenflyfishing Thanks a lot for you response. I also tend to look at the negative and positive feedbacks of my lifestyle to the environment in general and try to find a balance. (That's more an ethical/conscience balance than just pure CO2 footprint balance).
I find quite hard to reach that balance in our very globalized world and my comment was absolutely not a judgment. I'm sorry if you felt like it was. I know your channel is not about posting footage of the biggest possible trout and travelling all around the world to get these fish.
But still I think we all have a bit of responsibility even tho I agree we as individuals don't have the power to change anything. I personally came to the conclusion of not using planes to travel for fishing, as part of other habits that have nothing to do with fishing.
Cheers from France
@@gotopeche certainly no offense. Context is also quite important in these discussions- and not knowing the who we're talking to we have to keep things quite general as, if we don't, the discussions usually come back at us quite strongly, especially from more divided countries as the one to the south of us in Canada. 😊 So while we spoke in general, reality is that we do try our best as well. At the end of the day it really is a human condition question and so diverse from what one values carrying through their SoL and beyond. And it is so incredibly difficult to comment on anyone given we rarely know the full if their life's equations and balances in totality. It's funny because we've been on social media and forums the past 25 years and live in Alberta, Canada (Texas north) and you can only imagine how divisive this conversation is here and how many beatings we've taken for suggesting our culture and society needs to change focus. So, again, context. 🍻
