- This week I steal a bike and head off into the hills in search of trout...my mission - To catch a fish on a Cicada Fly!!
It's a tough place to get to but it can be very worth the effort and today ends up being exactly that. I also go into just why I think fishing barbless is the way forward...Hope you enjoy!

![SIGHT FISHING For Spooky BROWN Trout in Clear Water [New Zealand]](/img/tr.png)
Thank you for always being an advocate of barbless hooks!!
Chur bro, just makes sense doesn’t it..🤷♂️
Do you make them yourself once u buy barbed hooks or order barbless?
5:50 in for the best description I've heard of as to why fish barbless. Great stuff, Alex. Let's look after the fish, people.
Thanks bro! The more we can do to look after the fish, the better aye.
You’re the reason I started pinching all my barbs! You paint a perfect picture of why it’s worth doing, because if you truly care about the fish it’s a no brainer!
I love that you have started doing that man, good on you!!
Now you get to spread the word yourself by being an ambassador for barbless and hopefully inspire other to follow suit 🤙
Your channel rocks! I’m planning a trip to New Zealand to fly fish as soon as the Covid thing is over. All I have until then is TH-cam videos.
Thanks heaps man. Stoked you enjoy them💥
NZ is awesome for fishing. I praise the waters of NZ-it's beautiful and I need to go back.
I'm a little jealous, all your talk of very 'summery' weather while over here in the true north strong and free, we are enduring -30°celcius. All good our spring is just around the corner!
Yeah we have to enjoy summer while it’s here!! It will be gone all too soon!!
When this video has had another 100k views then it will be reaching its intended audience. Your cinematography and narration have reached a new zenith! Superb! Absolutely superb!!!
Mate, that’s so good of you to say and thanks so much for supporting and watching my channel.
I only hope it gets another 100k views..!!
Funny to hear you talk about the heat of your summer while I’m watching this in my winter with -30C falling to -35C overnight and -25 during the day! The miracle of modern tech that I can watch you cast Frank.
I know it’s crazy aye. To think that when I started fishing as a kid I could barely find a magazine to read about it!!
@@TrippinOnTrout yes! I’m a week shy of 65 and fly fishing the Bow River when I was a kid was wild country back then. Most of my favorite spots are parts of suburbia now sad to say. I think I figured out why your fish are so big compared to ours. Winter. You really don’t have any when the rivers freeze over and the fish go dormant for 4-5 months. Your fish feed all year round, the only things changing are water volumes and perhaps what they feed on, cicada season for example. Any, love your show.
@@frankvandoorn Yeah that makes a lot of sense mate. Will def have a lot to do with it I’d say🤙
Love your videos man! 20 yo angler from Colorado. These videos keep me going through the cold winters!!
Cheers man, appreciate it! Thanks for watching🤙
I just love those big trout in those little rivers. I’m glad to see your subscriber count jumping up there. You deserve more exposure for some of the consistently best fly fishing videos on TH-cam. And thanks for the barbless advocacy. Who wouldn’t fish barbless.
Thank you bro 🙏
Really trying hard to push things along with the content and with growing the channel 🤙
Best fishing content on TH-cam mate, the editing and angling is something wicked. Cheers for the content, keeps me entertained while in bed crook as a dog!
Thanks brutha!! Hope you are on the mend man,
@@TrippinOnTrout might be a trip into hospital unfortunately 👎🏻
Amazing love watching your videos. One day I will head out to New Zealand that is a dream come true. 🎣 Well done great fish
Thanks heaps!!
Glad you enjoying the content!
Awesome video, Alex! Love the conversation on going barbless and I wish more people would do it.
Me too bro, me too. Will keep spreading the word regardless 🤙
Barbed hooks also require harder hooksets to drive the barb through. This means you need heavier leader to prevent breaking off on the strike. Alternatively, if you don't strike hard enough with a barbed hook, you get a really poor hook hold and are likely to lose the fish. Either way, the barbless hook will catch you more fish
Hay Alex, another seamless video, great viewing, beaut fish👍you get into some really nice spots, I'm envious of your didymoless rivers.... 😎🎣
Yeah bro, super lucky we don’t have that up here. Long may it last!!
Beautiful water. Love this adventure.
🤙🤙
The Planes return , hell yeah
They never really left!!
Yet another very motivational video. Looking good with Annette on your back, she does looking like she's feeling blue though,,
Oh good one Bo...👏👏😄
Great film again! Barbless yes! Thanks a lot!
Thanks bro!!
Glad barbless is the law here!
Will never stop pushing the barbless vibe!!
Well done. Your photography just keeps getting better
Cheers bro, much appreciated 🤙
Good comment re; barbless hooks. Another point I'd like to add as a former Alaskan fly guide, barbless hooks penetrate much better. You can easily demonstrate this by pushing identical hooks into a piece of cardboard, one with the barb crushed. When you get to the part where the barb widens it takes a lot more pressure to push it through. Also in conventional hook production, the barb is used to assist in the bending of the wire.
Great point to add there bro. Thanks for chiming in🤙🤙
Crushed barbs reminds me, 20 years ago fishing wet grasshopper under dry hopper. hooked 1kg fish on dry, on landing, fish slipped and wet went into finger, not nice when fish pulling barbed hook further into finger. Another great video.
Nope that would suck for sure!!
Awesome video! River season for trout opens in 2 weeks here in Wales and this video has got me so excited to get out and chuck some dry flies on the river.
Almost there bro!!! Hope you have a great opening day!
Barbless = Pro!
I liked the explanation!
Greetings from Greece!
Thanks heaps man!!
Appreciate you watching and commenting🤙🤙
Another excellent video with fantastic production quality. Your story telling elements are at their best!
New Zealand's Steelhead!
I must say that I'm a little bit jealous of you, living in Trout paradise New Zealand. Your advice to fish barbless is super. I saw another video with you where you were taking other fishermen hard for throwing away their liners, I liked to hear that very much. But, now it comes dude, in a way you should grab your own nose, though you snip of your liners that you tied and leave the snips right where you are. Out in nature. Sure no animals can or will be trapped in your small parts, but they will dissolve and become microplastic, or even fish food. You who look so much to do everything perfectly, there is that tool called Monomaster which you can buy online. I would be happy if you take my advice and get one of those and if not please don't snip off your liners and leave them out in your fantastic Country in front of your Camera. Take care dude and thank you for your videos.
I’ve been making an effort to drop those tag ends in my hip pack more and more for exactly that reason🤙
Thanks for watching bro!
Love watching you fish and your great videos! Thanks for the respect and care you give the trout! I have learned tons watching.
That’s awesome to heard. They deserve nothing less than just that aye. 😊
Summer on the river no Snakes I love NZ back country. The Aus/NZ travel bubble needs to happen before the back country rivers close .
Great vid mate, definitely an advocate of barbless hooks, as long as you can find strong ones and have the right angled dry hooks for the dry dropper otherwise the dropper on the dry ends up contaminating the waterways.👌
Yep sometimes finding strong ones is tough.
I never have an issue with losing the dropper off my rigs tho..🤷♂️
As usual beautiful river, beautiful fish and You make it look like you have a full production and editing team👌
G'day Alex, another top watch mate. Always entertaining. Keep it up. Regards, Colby.
Nice one Colby, thanks man. Hope you are getting out into some of that cool water of yours🤙
A couple of feet of 4x. That'll be heaps brew! 🐳haha. Another awesome video. What a secluded spot. Great answer to the barbless hook question, and wow! Some beautiful fish taking flight at that pool.
Haha, good impression there!😆
Thanks for watching man👊
As usual, very nice work, thanks for brightening up the winter for us near the Arctic! Back in the day, with barbed hooks the main deal was just keeping the rod tip up, but with barbless, there's the angle thing. Could you maybe do a Friday filler on that, and what to do if you get a jumper? Might be good for those starting out or converting to barbless.
Good idea there mate. I’ll add that to my list of subjects 🤙🤙
Such an awesome video and absolutely beautiful fish, Alex! I always fish barbless as well. It's the way to go! Thanks for advocating for it.
Earning the experience! Love it!
Great footage, fine editing, nice music and love your enthusiasm after so many rivers and fish! Thanks for sharing, dreams for next summer.....
Thanks heaps!!
Excellent videos! I visited NZ in my youth in the 1970s and these videos bring me back to the amazing country, great folks and great fish. Re: barbless, our jurisdiction (Manitoba, Canada) has been barbless for about 25 years... and we still catch our share :).
I only hope that nz moves in that direction one day. I fished for channel catfish and walleye in Manitoba years back. I was staying there for a few months in Winnipeg and it was the only thing that kept me sane while I was there!!
@@TrippinOnTrout Did you try fly fishing for our channel cats? That is a hoot!
@@sopuck1 No I didn’t - just regular methods.
I have wanted to go back and do just that ever since...!!
@@TrippinOnTrout It's a blast! Cats up to 25#, caught drifting flies through 3-5 feet of riffle water. The odd one even jumps :). As exciting as it is, your rivers, your wild places, and your utterly amazing trout, have to be at the top of the charts for every fly fisher. Forty years later, I still remember being blown away by the idea, and the presence, of tree ferns :) Nothing like that in these parts....TIM
Yay!! Another video from Alex ✌🏻✌🏻🎣🎣🎣
Hope you like this one Denise🤙
Thanks for sharing your experience with the lines..looking forward to seeing more videos
Just a couple of observations. #1: Nobody eliminates the competition like you do. #2: Reason #27 to fish barbless is that when you stick it in your ear or your face[or heaven forbid someone else's] it comes out way easy.
And let’s face it, we have all hooked ourselves or someone else!😆
Good to hear from you MP!!
love it BRO ...Keep them coming !!!
Cheers man, will do🤙
I love these videos...keep em coming!
I will!!
Yeah yeah ... another great video. Thanks for sharing mate. Cheers ...
All good bro, hope you enjoy this weeks episode!!
Outstanding as always Alex, i must admit these uploads are the highlight of my week!
Stoked you dig the content brutha
Hey Alex. Another good reason to go barbless is a selfish one.… anyone who’s ever accidentally hooked themselves, their mate or their guide will enjoy the unhooking experience way more barbless!
Absolutely mate. It’s a no brainer!
As usual, great video. Thanks!
Cheers bro
Great vid again,by far the best trout films on the tube,keep them coming 👍🥃
THANKS SO MUCH!!
Great video as always, glad your first cicada bite of the season was such a beauty!
Thanks bro!!! Took me
Long enough!!
Good day!
I saw a video a couple weeks back and you had a little bit of equipment that you put your tag ends and scrap fishing line into. Anymore information on that tool please my man.
Bigg up for the fantastic videos you create man! I sit back in the evenings and just chill and watch!
Thanks man.
Thanks heaps bro. It’s called a trash fish from smith creek products.
Great bit of kit!
Such beautiful fish. I can’t wait to make my dream fishing trip happen and go to NZ. Thanks for the great content!
It’s a pretty cool place alright!! I hope you make it here!!
great video again, huge thanks mate
Chur bro. Nice one🤙
Thanks Alex, great video as usual. Agree completely about barbless hooks. Yes, they do just drop out of the fish mouth when in a net. Only down side is occasionally they will penetrate so deep the fish bleeds. When this happens I try and put pressure on the bleed spot for 15 seconds or so and try and stop the bleeding. Always think about how to maintain a good healthy fishery.
I guess all we can do is do our best to have as little impact on the fish as possible aye.
Good on you bro🤙
Me gusta la bicicleta!!! Jajajaja felicidades por el video como siempre un placer disfrutar de tus videos.
Thgis was a really great video well done bro I absolutely enjoyed a NZ fush rising to a dry
Love all of your videos! Can't wait to get to New Zealand for some of that action!
Thanks man, stoked you enjoy them!
Another great video, awesome video and another great drone hookup - these are just getting better and better - So good.
Also because of you I am also pinching the barbs or buying barbless flies
I love this and good on you bro👊👊
Stoked you like the content and have switched to barbless!!
Another great video Alex,thank you.One more reason to use barbless is that they are easier to get out if you happen to stick yourself with the hook.
Very true!!!!
Brilliant days fishing man
Yeah was way cool!
Legend video.
Chur bro
I love you and trout hunting nz videos i just started fishing for trout two years ago and switched to the fly rod a year ago. I love this sport and all the people. I hope one day ill get over to new Zealand an catch some of those monsters
Cheers man, appreciate it! Thanks for watching🤙
sick video! great editing and music choices, subbed!
Thanks for the comment and the sub!! Welcome to the TEAM!!!
Great vid as always mate 👍
Wikid bro. Thanks heaps!
think this is your best clip yet aye wicked
Thanks man!
I have no clue how I haven’t been subscribed to this channel!? My wife and I always look forward to your videos! Thank you!!(:
THANK YOU for subbing!!
Really helps me grow the channel!🤙
@@TrippinOnTrout New Zealand has been on our bucket list from day one, I’ll let you know if it ever happens!!✊
With you all the way on barbless Alex. Probably bring more fish to hand now than when I fished with barbed hooks. Who cares if they get off anyway. The fun is in the hooking. Did you notice the first brownie had it’s adipose clipped?
That’s more likely to be a bite from either fish fighting and perhaps an eel trying to get a piece of him. All wild fish there you see so clipping isn’t really a thing🤙
Great shot of the blue ducks cool man Tim
Such cool birds aye 🤙
another epic one Alex! what always gets me is your lack of sandflies up north! i get murdered everywhere i go down south!
Yeah it’s weird, zero sandflies up here!!
Love the content. All the way from Alberta Canada.
Awesome man, big love from NZ!!
Awesome
Cool piece of water there Alex with some great fish! You know I’m a barbless convert 💯 🤙
Yeah bro. Sick place and I love that you have turned..!!!!!👊
I have a couple of more reasons to use barbless hooks: 1) I've had sudden gusts of wind blow the hook into my skin and 2) wind gusts blow the hook into my fancy fishing shirt. In such cases it was far less damaging to remove the hook.
Exactly man, no reason to have a barb at all!!
Loved the "Definitely don't go down there... Shit" haha
Thanks for yet another awesome video
Haha, good times for sure!!!😆
Awesome 👌 ,, thanks for the great video,
🤙
Great video mate
Thanks so much 🤙
Wearing the Waller tartan on the legs I see, we of English descent never really got it did we! Enjoyed the vid Alex thanks.
Hahaha, the Waller tartan - I like it!! Just bought another pair yesterday actually😆😆
Videos never disappoint✔️✔️✔️
Agreed on the Barbless topic, they're also safe for the angler in case of an unwanted body piercing😂
Good point!! Thanks for watching
I have a couple of those and one of them with a treble 4x strong,a real nightmare to cut the tham thing
Been watching your vids for a while. Honestly man, these NZ rivers look amazing. Absolutely beautiful. This river in particular is perfection. Can I be cheeky and ask which river this is. or which area of NZ it's in. Its stunning. Plus your stance on barbless hooks is cool. ( I'm from UK and fly fish lakes and occasionally rivers in Wales, Scotland)
Thanks man, appreciate the support.
I won’t name rivers sorry, it’s in the North Island and that’s about all you will get from me!
The good thing is that, pretty much every river has fish in it here..:just gotta go look🤙
Good ol Frank does it again. You must be so fit, that looked like hard work... but the reward was worth it.
Frank the Tank!!!
Pretty big day that one yep!!
I love your videos! Are there any small trout in New Zealand? Wow!
Thanks man, yeah there are small trout around!!
Also barbless hooks have a narrower point profile so hook penetration is better........yup i said it penetration is better, TWSS epic film as usual. peace.
TWSS!!!! Love it.
Good point you make there too
Yeah I was reading "Fly fishing the South Platte" by Roger Hill.. He talks a lot about how you'll hook more fish with barbless. He said many times the fish will have themselves hooked before you even know what's going on. Great old book
Hi Alex, beautiful flying trout. Agree with you 100% on barbless hooks, after all if you are not hunting for Kai it makes for easier release. Harera
All round better aye bro. 🤙🤙
Awesome video👌🎣🎣🎣
🤙🤙
As usual out standing
Thank you brutha🤙
Barbless is the way to go - especially if you hook your ear on the cast.... just ask Glenn!!! Great vid bro
Hahaha, the Nymphmaster has spoken!!
great video
god im so jealous of you new zealanders.
I completely agree with barbless hooks. One day I was fishing a small stream with dry flies and could not tie a fly on for the life of me, the knot wouldn't hold. Lost a fly 3 separate times, but because of the barbless hook the fish were able to spit the fly out and I was able to get the fly back all 3 times.
That’s awesome man and a great example of how well it works!
Superb video bro 😎 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks heaps bro!
Reason 5 to fish barbless: Try getting a barbed hook out of your nose when Mr Tilling casts across you in the boat ouch!
Yep. A VERY good reason to add to the list.
Cool video as usual and nice fish, another pucker brown! The bike in good idea to cover ground and save time Alex...did I plant that seed🤔
The barb is not needed. Well done mate
🤙🤙
Always love the vids man. We enjoy turning on your channel and watching them every few nights! What line/leader setup are you using at 7:50? I looked in the link but one of them was broken. Anyways. Thanks again for what you do!
Looks like I need to sort out my links! Thanks for the heads up.
5w infinity smooth from SA, Orvis floating poly leader to a tippet ring and then make my leader whatever length I need off that
There is nothing better than a cicada eat!
Hard to beat aye!!
Brilliant video as normal and I don't know why they make barbed hooks at all. Because everyone I know crush them hooks themselves keep up the great work
If I were king, I would ban them all!!!!!!
That was a tarpon jump 😂
I’ve hooked a fish on a barbless hook and snapped it off. The next day caught the same fish and the barbless hook fly was still in its mouth. But I bet most of the time they drop out and less damage is done for sure.
I know the barb V barbless debate will just keep on going, but I just ask people which they'd like me to stick into their hand, a barbed hook or barbless hook? If they say barbed then I offer to do it for them. So far no one has taken up my offer. Also, good to see knifey making an appearance👍🏻
I say the same thing to people!!!!😆
Never had anyone take me up on it either.
👌
