Nice work Tristan, funny how some fish will rocket upstream through fast water when hooked, great quality fish from a skinny water stream, great start to the season
@kiwitroutstalker8845 Yeah, these fish were very strong. It's a pity I had a technical issue with my camera & botched the footage of my first fish because that fish really had me running up and down and across. But anyhow that's filming sometimes and cheers Mark
Cracking start to your season, well done. There must be great feeding for those trout during the winter months to be in such healthy condition at the start of your season.
Thanks buddy, and there's definitely no doubt that the mild winter has done these fish no harm whatsoever to maintain that condition so early on in the season
@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS cheers, brother. Gotta eat well on these trips, breakfast fuel with the bacon and eggs, then a solid piece of steak during fishing. What more could you ask for 👊
@TasdazDownunder cheers, Daz. Yeah, I thought I'd treat myself to an upgrade of camera which didn't come without first up technical difficulties as I mentioned during the intro. Lesson learned!
@waitaki_fly Thanks, mate, and yeah, the condition and weight were the saving grace. What was predicted would be a low number day. But sometimes quality can over rule, which it did in this case..
Nailed it bro well done! Sometimes camp seems overkill but your outfit is bloody well disguised in those surroundings 👌those big fatties couldnt see ya 💯
@nzadventurer Thanks there, buddy. Standard fishing gear that blended in with my waders and fishing vest. I never really gave it much thought till you see the footage, but I could easily be missed from a pair of binoculars considering the surroundings. Good call..
Skill, agility, scenery, and magnificent fish all on a full stomach! Can't ask for much more? Impressive!
@johnshand6176 thanks buddy. I like to eat well on the river. It makes all the difference
Awesome fishing adventure, great video and footage with a few beauties in the net too mate, enjoyed the trip with you, thumbs up too,, Tony.
Thanks Tony. You feedback is always appreciated
Quite the start to the season and a little cardio to wear off the steak & eggs!
@@MasterCrowOutdoors It was needed to get up the river and steak for lunch to keep me going for the rest of the day. Thanks for watching as always 👌

Nice fish, don’t know how you coped with those crowds 😂
Thanks, I'm guessing that was a typo error "crowds," meaning clouds.. 😅
Beautiful catches brother. Good food good trip beauty scenery, ya can't beat that.

What a cracking opening day Tristan! Low fish numbers but they're huge!

shit that river has had some big scouring over last couple of years.
Thanks for watching
Gotta be happy with that mate. Bloody good to be back out Doin it.
@@jawson37 It's always good to be out there Doin it. Roll on the next trip
Nice one buddy. Any day on the river is a good day and them fish were in prime condition
@@danielsadventures2897 Thanks for watching buddy

@kieranfsher4410 Indeed it was a pleasant surprise to see the condition of these fish here
