Love all your videos Trout Hunter and really love it when you take some time to show the flies you're fishing. I tie and I'm always looking for something new to try. Keep on shooting!!!
@@TroutHuntingNZ You would probably like reading one of my favorite authors, his name is John Gierach, He is a fly fishermen and awesome writer who shares his experiences and passion for trout and fly fishing. I guarantee you will appreciate his style and love for the sport ! Tight lines Mate
Thanks for sharing your adventures. They are really helping me get trough the Corona times. What struck me about your fly box is that the barbs were still attached. Is that allowed anywhere in your country? Here in Europe this has been partly restricted, not to damage the fish too much. Thank you for your answer. cheers
Yo, I like that Fly Box at 4:57 What do they call that. Would like to purchase one like it. I like the fly pad on one side and the compartments on the other. Sweet. If you happen to know the name let me know.
When swinging lures do you ever try classics like Medicine, Stoats Tail, Blue Charm etc.? I’ve been lucky enough to fish Tongariro a few times but stuck to WollyB, Parsons Glory etc when fishing down and across.
Love your content, liked it, hit the subscribe button. I am SO stoked with the song at 8:26. What's the song called bro? Thx a bunch and best wishes from Germany! Keep up the good work.
great vid, mate. That dry take was beautiful, though some of the purists would be spinning in their graves at the downstream bend you had going on in the line just before it. Another second and it was drag city. I was mending for you!! Love the glimpse of your flies. A big part of the art of fly fishing, I reckon. Gold to see what an expert uses. Intriguing that you use bead flies even as the dropper. Presumably not tungsten, just copper. I've always used a lighter fly trailing, but you certainly get the results.
Thor_68 hi mate I had already mended the crap out of that, the slow mo doesn’t do it justice but where the fish is it’s hardly moving and the water between is really fast. I had to reach and hold with no more mends as the fish was coming and would have spooked him if I moved fly. . Like a say in full speed you would understand . But cheers anyway
@@TroutHuntingNZ Haha, should have known there was more than met the eye in that situation. That shute of fast water between you and the fish was causing havoc. Stunning stream, great fishing, great video.
Lovely box Alex :o) Nice vid Gareth! It's hard to see the indicator in some vid's... something bigger, brighter?? Always good to see the take... to be fair this vid isn't bad.
Richard Thoms high mate thanks heaps. The indicator is small because the water can be so clear that you spook fish easily, and also there nicer to fish with. Cheers
@@TroutHuntingNZ Yeah understand mate, I use that strike indicator when fishing rivers as well. it was a suggestion for the video, esp when fishing fast rifles etc. Really liked this vid - keep up the good work.
Great vid, thanks; one more question for you. What are the two wooden sticks I see you carrying in some of the vids...? Cannot figure it out...backcountry nunchucks?
OutsidersMV like rusty said .....😂 na mate there just walking/wading sticks made of Manuka. Some of our river the wading can be very tricky so a stick is invaluable. Cheers
Is that blowfly used all year (season) or is there a certain time for it, I'm considering having a look into it, anyways love the video and a flies video would be great!
Thanks, always interested in what's working for you in NZ. That first fly looked like a rubber leg, flashback pheasant tail. Some really nice bows from you and your mate.
For anyone else interested in flies and matching the hatch check out Ascent Fly Fishing's video. It's called "How to fish the South Platte in Waterton Canyon like a Pro".( th-cam.com/video/6uDoAVuxPjc/w-d-xo.html ) It's the best bug video I've found for fly fishing so far. Unlike Gareth's videos there is no wicked funny fishing action though, just learning.

LOVED the session on the flies: as always there flies to catch fish and there’s flies to catch fishermen.
Please show more flies when mid session
Love the flies bit. Also great location. How about a video of good places to visit
Awesome vid dude! Thanks for showing the flies.

Denise Paterson-Snaddon thanks heaps mate
Greetz from finland. Nice video 😉
Toni Eskonen hey mate thanks for watching
Great video Gareth really liked the information on the flies
As usual great video there! Was awesome watching while sitting here at the fly tying desk. Those category 3 flies are looking awesome
thanks for showing the flies, mate! Your fly box is a mess 😂 really interesting patterns. I gotta tie some of these.
Fly Rider cheers mate, I have now updated my fly box

Is that allowed anywhere in your country? Here in Europe this has been partly restricted, not to damage the fish too much. Thank you for your answer. cheers
Yes it is allowed here, but I try to remember to crush them so to be kind to the fish
Have you ever fished the mohaka river? If so, how was it? Cheers
That dry eat was so sick mate
Mr777manbearpig cheers bro
Great fishing , what is a meaning of category 3 ??

William Parks brown or green go good
Great vid
Hayden Robb thanks mate

@@270Rusty Rusty- Gotcha...forgot NZ does not look kindly on carrying side arms for such situations :)
@@TroutHuntingNZ Thanks, Gareth! Much better than dragging around ski poles which some folks still do...
What kind of box is Alex using? That thing is awsome. *Also, that's a pretty sick slo-mo sequence!
MrTGundo cheers mate. It’s a CnF box not sure on model. I have one now to 😂
Is that blowfly used all year (season) or is there a certain time for it, I'm considering having a look into it, anyways love the video and a flies video would be great!
Daniel Meulenbroek high mate. Yeah it’s a no go in winter. Works well between November and March. Cheers
@@TroutHuntingNZ OK, I've got plenty of time over the summer holidays anyways, I will possibly have a go with it but not to sure yet, Cheers
What flyline are you using
Love to see a top 10 flys thingy
hey bro choice vid. what size level line and tippet you running ? chur
Shaun Webby hey mate my leader goes 10-8-6lb 8 being the longest section the 10 and 6 being 2feet max. 8lb is probably minimum 4feet
A nice fly tutorial , now I know we have to go for the “proper” fish😎
John Kinsfather thanks dude, yeah proper fresh is where it’s at
top ten in everything..........dries, streamers and nymphs please, weights and sizes would be sweet too!!!
William McGuire cheers bro will do
Top flies focus would be interesting - especially your streamers
Andrew Horton thanks heaps mate
Thanks, always interested in what's working for you in NZ. That first fly looked like a rubber leg, flashback pheasant tail. Some really nice bows from you and your mate.
Big Papi cheers
