  • Bruce and I take the "Fat Cat" (boat) to explore fly fishing the lake edges and streams for some stunning trout. We find the fish to be exceptionally tricky, but perserverence pays off and you know we never give up!

    Great video !! Nice to be part of the classic story of a couple of lads having a great time in paradise . If only the trout knew what a process is humans go through 😂. Or maybe they do and are playing part of the same game 🤣.
    It’s such a great sport , although sport is a funny word for what becomes an addiction , lifestyle and passion for some many .
    Keep living the dream !!!🎣🐟🏔️

    This video is a bit different being pretty slow going. However it does tell the story of never giving up quite nicely, so I hope you can find a wedge of time with a quiet cuppa and it's not too long for you to enjoy. I really wanted this one to be super calming and relaxing so hope it doesn't send you all to sleep - unless that's what you want 😂
    Enjoy 🗻🏞️❄️💯🔥

    What a great video NZ Adventurer…that is real tough fishing…spent 3 days right there last winter…with a zip result…so well done. But the location and scenery…breathtaking.

    Some beautiful water up that way buddy. Thats persistence on that fish. I guess its a catch 22 situation, do you wanna see more of the lake or what have you or stay camped on a fish. River fishing is definitely more exciting than the lakes I find. Lakes can be frustrating and tedious. Which do you prefer?

    • @nzadventurer
      @nzadventurer  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think I love rivers more. Bruce seems to prefer lakes. Trout stalking I guess is my addiction - hopefully u saw that vid? I grew up fishing lake Okareka (nr Rotorua so easy rainbows using hamils killer, Mrs Simpson, red setter, grey ghost etc). Bit of a different world to these browns in this spot! But a few days hanging with a mate in those surroundings is always going to be superb! I just love being by clear fresh water though to be fair. Thx for watching

    • @danielsadventures2897
      @danielsadventures2897 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @nzadventurer I haven't watched it but I'll get onto it. Yeah any fresh water fishing is great but I find stalking trout on gin clear waters up river exceeds anything a lake can produce. That's my personal opinion. The river varies from big bouldery fast pocket water to flat gentle riffly runs to swirling Eddie's. It's all different where a lake is a lake. They don't differ too much apart from the trout behaviour on each still water location.

      @nzadventurer  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@danielsadventures2897 yeah I get it! I think the same as you whereas Bruce seems to love lake & still water. Can't explain why. Maybe less walking? Doesn't like wet wading? Perhaps the long walks to spooky trout is a bit much for most people 🤔

      Maybe it is but in the north island it was all about driving around in a boat drinking beers so the reality didn't sink in 😂 that fish, that was a fantastic result I will always remember and a good few lessons from Bruce there 👍🏼 thx for watching 🏞️⛺
