Mate you’re gonna be disappointed fishing back home now😂 unreal fish, such a stunning place down there. Love your channel man, I’m into my second season on the fly now, your vids certainly are a huge motivator and put together on point, love that real ness as well. Chur bro!!!
@jmy... I worked in michicot W.I Fished everyday with the Man that does the fishing report for Lake MIchigan. I CAUGHT 10 TO 15 lbs trolling Rainbows and Browns I ALSO SPENT 2 MONTHS 3 TIMES IN north and south Island Cjristchurch N.Z. U.S.NAVY DUTY the trout I caught varied between 5 lbs and 26 lbs largest sea run Rainbow I caught. I want to go back soon BEST FISHING ON THE PLANET
Loved the drone view and cracked up (in a very been there done that way) when you were going to pack it in for sure and “here I am fishing again”... I belong to the one more cast brigade!
Interesting that, during the overhead shot, a fish fighting the line pretty hard didn't bother them, but when your line went over them, they immediately flushed away and went back to where they felt safe.
Ok guys this is by far my most favorite fishing vid ever !! just one question is this the south island or the north ? . I was In New Zealand back in 1982 to 1984 for Operation deep freeze , Christ Church was the city I must say it was one of the best times of my life , wish I would have fished more then I did . The people there are some of the best and friendly people I have ever had the pleasure to have known . I think I am going to re visit next year after all the covid stuff is over , finally retired and have been telling myself I am going back to spend a month and really see the south island . I know very little of the north island but would love to see it also . please let me know if you might be able to give me some tips on where to go and other info that would help . I have a friend there and im sure she and her husband will also help me . Love your channel , I just subscribed and am excite to see more vids . thank you guys for this eye candy . Bill J
Got to admire fish of that size , casted a dry fly to a trout close to double figures once, heart was pounding.....fly got stuck in tree above him, so i thought bugger it, just sat there and had lunch watching him instead lol.
Nicely done Gareth. Never let it be said that you don’t look after a fishery, your track record says it all. Well done, a terrific video in a fantastic location. NZ tourism should be paying you blokes!
The arial view of the take and fight was spectacular. Really enjoy your stuff. Have dreamed of getting to ur country to fish . Probably not happening in this lifetime.
Love the overhead video playing the fish into you.....Please let us know more often what you're using and how you're rigged up!! ( Leader , tippet , droppers , etc. )
The drone footage while fighting a fish but with fish this size it looked amazing. Great video and even better fish bro. Can’t wait to see the final day. What size leader are you running to these slabs?
This is amazing ! What kind of rods do you use? Number 5 or 6? - Did you catch them on streamers? - I fish in Patagonia where I could catch 50 to 60 trouts in a day but not larger than 20 Inch...your river is out of this planet ! - If you become a Fly Fishing Guide, please call me ! jajajaja
4:50 Amazing fishing! The density of big fish in this river is simply incredible! There are another 30 odd fish the same size in that pool! It must take a lot of feeding for big resident trout to reach that size! Could you please tell us what those fish feed on?
Going to guess these fish aren't pressured at all. Grow huge, and have no predators. Absolute tremendous conservation as well. Everything has to be right for a trout to get that big.
Next to making it to heaven upon passing from this earth, fly fishing on the South Island of New Zealand would be my choice for favorite thing to do! What a paradise!
I got to do it once and it was off the charts, though the fish we were getting into were more in the 3-5 pound range, nothing even close to these juggernauts.
What's the background to these fish. Early spring where you are? Returning to lakes from spawning? Sea run? Just seems unusual so many big fish in one section of water. Great camera work and fishing though. Keep up the good vids.
I'm going to take a stab at your "Jack come back reference". Is it from the movie Titanic, when Rose is on the piece of wood in the water towards the end? Awesome video bro, cheers!!
Whopping video there mate, though it’s criminal that your catching such big fish on such a quiet reel!! 🤯😂 please tell me the Jack reference was not Titanic....? 🤣
Man, i live in the south east of Alabama, and rainbow are easily my favorite fish to catch on the fly. My biggest rainbow ever is a fraction of these in inches as yalls is pounds. And even they fight like hell. Would kill for a chance a one 1/4 the size.
good shit man. ive just started learning and spending some time in NSW around the Tumut river. Any tips on how to find big dogs in rivers? ive only caught fish finger trout!!
What’s in the water in NZ? These are monsters, in some of your videos you call them small, that would be crazy if I landed anything close to 3-5lbs. Most of the trout here at 14-16” in CA. And 2-5lbs if you are extremely lucky lol

Been fly fishing for over 40 years and never seen fishing like this. Amazing.
SIRI missed two fish. This is the best pure fishing channel on my feed. Haven't found a better one yet!
Love how he calls the fish who didn’t take the fly an idiot.
He was
Coolest video I’ve ever watched for trout fishing. Thanks so much for sharing and capturing this epic action
Thanks mate
Mate you’re gonna be disappointed fishing back home now😂 unreal fish, such a stunning place down there. Love your channel man, I’m into my second season on the fly now, your vids certainly are a huge motivator and put together on point, love that real ness as well.
Chur bro!!!
Chur bro thanks heaps. And yeah been back home for a couple weeks now and things have changed 😂
That drone footage of Lance catching one before he left was on point! Good work, keep it up!
NICE FISH !!! I live near Lake Michigan we have a few big strains of rainbow and brown trout but those look super!
@jmy... I worked in michicot W.I
Fished everyday with the Man that does the fishing report for Lake MIchigan. I CAUGHT 10 TO 15 lbs trolling Rainbows and Browns

It’s my dream to fish somewhere like that
Some day mate
What an epic fishery, going to be tough fishing up north again 😅
The BEST fly fishing video I’ve seen! Please keep up that great work. That’s gonna be very tough to top

Oof
Those bows are just spectacular ! And your footage is next level. Great job bud !
Cant believe people are asking why your not eating them . Some people just dont get it !
Nicely done Gareth. Never let it be said that you don’t look after a fishery, your track record says it all. Well done, a terrific video in a fantastic location. NZ tourism should be paying you blokes!
Couldn't agree more!

Have dreamed of getting to ur country to fish . Probably not happening in this lifetime.
You’ll get here. 🤙
I'd shit my pants if I ever caught a rainbow in this class, and you were slaying them. OMG
Love the overhead video playing the fish into you.....Please let us know more often what you're using and how you're rigged up!! ( Leader , tippet , droppers , etc. )
Why don't you take a vacation ...
let me fill in for ya ... you look tired 😓🤣
Yeah mate jump in
Those are some cool fish right there. I don’t think I’d ever fish anywhere else. How could you possibly get tired of that
Doofus has no problem feeding😂🎣
Clean and clear, I love this river!!!!
Just stumbled on your channel recently... had no clue trout got this big!
The drone footage while fighting a fish but with fish this size it looked amazing. Great video and even better fish bro. Can’t wait to see the final day. What size leader are you running to these slabs?
If lance was a trout he’d definitely be the one he first caught 😂
Not far off

He was fushing not fashing......😀😀😂😂
@@johnrice8786 dant tach the peiss
Genuine question. When the fish is on the hook why let the line out? Why not just reel in the fish?
It will break off if you don’t let it out because the fish is very strong

I used to work on a salmon boat and these trout are bigger then some of the salmon!!! Just amazing!!
Wow 🙌🏻🙌🏻 awesome fish and amazing place . Well done lads 👍🏻
Hey buddy I was wondering for the fish you're catching what weight rod and fly line you using
Dude those fish are massive. I'm the king of the world. Definitely got it 👍.
Next to making it to heaven upon passing from this earth, fly fishing on the South Island of New Zealand would be my choice for favorite thing to do! What a paradise!
I got to do it once and it was off the charts, though the fish we were getting into were more in the 3-5 pound range, nothing even close to these juggernauts.
That video is dope man! Nice fish!
Thanks mate
Super fishing. Luxus river. 👍
I wish we had a river like this in nh catch and release only
Yeah would be good
I agree. What an amazing looking river. Where in NH do you fish. I live in MA
@@michaelgosselin2691 New Zealand, not New Hampshire
don veitch but why did the guy say nh if he meant New Zealand?
Michael Gosselin I live in Manchester but I have to travel up north for trout
incredible. some of the most beautiful trout and healthiest fish i have ever seen.
Thanks mate
Wow! What a huge fish! You have to travel far in new england for good fishing like that.
Dude
The scale built into the net is an awesome idea. Why I never saw that before is beyond me. Im getting one asap. Searching online now
Unless I'm mistaking. Was their a scale in your handle of the net?? Im thinking not now :'(
Yeah there mcleans nets. Google will find it
@@TroutHuntingNZ sweet thank you man. I appreciate that
Beautiful TROUT👍~fly
Thanks
Hey Gareth, do you want to put some comments up re what rig you are using and what flies these big guys take?
What's the background to these fish. Early spring where you are? Returning to lakes from spawning? Sea run? Just seems unusual so many big fish in one section of water. Great camera work and fishing though. Keep up the good vids.
That landscape is unreal
The fishing was amazing but the verbal abuse to Siri was amazing 10:47
New Zealand, a fishermans paradise!
I'm going to take a stab at your "Jack come back reference". Is it from the movie Titanic, when Rose is on the piece of wood in the water towards the end? Awesome video bro, cheers!!
Duh
Hit the road Jack
And don't ya come back
No more no more no more no more
He was ipsolutly shitted after that days fushing.
Awesome video mate👍
I'm from the east coast usa good trout fishing but nothing like those monsters good show fellas good show👍👍👎
Fantastic. And six people don't like this video. Are they the locals ;-)
There we go:)
Cheers
Drone footage was incredible!
Oh man, definitely want to fish over there at some point!
The stuff dreams are made of!
Yup
love the fishing
So cool and the view!
I love it.. fly fishing..
What flyline and flyrod did you used on that fishing trip?
If Jurassic park had trout; insane.
Whopping video there mate, though it’s criminal that your catching such big fish on such a quiet reel!! 🤯😂 please tell me the Jack reference was not Titanic....? 🤣
True, would love to hear the wiz as ya backing disappears
Man, i live in the south east of Alabama, and rainbow are easily my favorite fish to catch on the fly. My biggest rainbow ever is a fraction of these in inches as yalls is pounds. And even they fight like hell. Would kill for a chance a one 1/4 the size.
Shut up and take my money and guide me to this promised land :) Amazing video and channel!
Great...keep it up guys!!
Is this a natural waterway with native trout? Holy shitballs if those aren't stocked it's unreal!
Yeah mate these are wild fish in natural river.
good shit man. ive just started learning and spending some time in NSW around the Tumut river. Any tips on how to find big dogs in rivers? ive only caught fish finger trout!!
What’s in the water in NZ? These are monsters, in some of your videos you call them small, that would be crazy if I landed anything close to 3-5lbs. Most of the trout here at 14-16” in CA. And 2-5lbs if you are extremely lucky lol
Is it one of those rivers in NZ where rainbows feed off fishfarm scraps?
La trucha arco iris mas grande fue pescada en el lago Titicaca Bolivia en año 1952..tenia: 1.30 cm de largo y 36 libras de peso.....
Simply amazing!
Are these stocked fish?
Nope
Hey bro. Living out in Hawea would love to hit a fish with ya before I gotta go back to the states.
Nice fish! Where is this at? Location please. Thanks
Excellent. Good fish 👍
Dam well I caught fish yesterday but now feel bad thank a lot haha. Nice catch
Where were you guys fishing?
Were there any game fish in the streams b4 the Rainbows were introduced?
Nice video I'm Waseem from Pakistan
Thats a freaking tank of a trout bro
It’s quite amazing these fish I come from New Hampshire USA and I do so much fly fishing but you are a slayer my friend I’d love to get out to NZ
Sitting in Devon, England on a cold Winters day and very much enjoyed your video. thinking of selling a kidney so I can afford a trip to NZ.
is that in that hydro canal where they get that big?, or is that in NZ?
This is NZ but not hydro canal
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i see
Man I respect people like you who will sacrifice their own health and equipment to catch that one hog fish
Donde queda eso ?
I’m going to put some fins on my terrier and try this out in my backyard.
Wow , good fishing
good god that's amazing trout fishing. does anyone know where this river is? not that ill ever get to new zealand.
What fly weight you use mate??
This looks exactly like eastern Oregon
Nice Trout ...
Where is it
where is that at?
What river it is please ? Really good man !
Dude what do those fish eat? Do they take dries even? Or are bugs too small for them
those fish are feeding on fish pellets which are feed to salmon in the salmon farms close by that is how the grow so huge
John Ferran you’re wrong and jealous
charlie stands not wrong and certainly not jealous why would you come of with a statement like that ?
@@johnferran1003 Your spot on
@@LennonBright he really isn't
