Great stuff Justin What a pretty country Most my family moved from the UK to aus Looking at rivers with no beer cans and crisp packets in it makes me want to move out there too You should of put this on your opal channel We are invested in YOU not just your opals matey
@Jondantic Thx mate appreciate it. I know it's a bit of a stretch but if you know, what area/section of the river is he on? I don't mind the walk down if there's some gems to be discovered.
@@gemfish8223 I am out in Northern California. My brother and I went last weekend. I caught a nice 13 inch and he caught a 17 inch monster. Both rainbow trout. Going again for father’s day
Great Film, Great quality footage , huge Trout, you sure are on a roll with the Big Fish, I reckon someones watching over you nudging you in the right direction . Hopefully you can get on and finish that Rolling Red Lazer Dot bad boy of an Opal now ...lol can't wait to see that Beauty finished
Great Video, I live in the mountains and haven't done enough exploring like this although a 15km hike would be too much for me but would love to do it or something similar.
I loved this video,it reminded me of times past when i used to go fishing with my dad for trout,back when he was able to walk long distances and the like,sadly he is no longer able to..but thankyou for the trip down memory lane. I have subscribed and await your next instalment.
Hey Lochie, is this spot anywhere close to the swing bridge? we fished 2km down from that over the weekend but only found carp mostly and smaller trout... would like to know where the bigger trout are residing
Cracker video mate! I remember one you made years ago down there. Say hi to Nick for me. Met him in BWRS and he introduced me to this awesome place. Actually heading down there this week myself!
Justin what is the minimum size for a keeper rainbow there In Australia? What is the limit per day also ? Here In Washington state, in America we can catch and keep five per day and smallest size is eight inches long. Do you have stealheads there ?
I was just thinking about you Justin and I see now what you've been doing lol .... may you Carry onward friendly opal cutting and fishing adventure ...
My notifications just started to work right after I commented on this video lol 😂 and that's a nice way to smoke your fish out in the brush with friends around the campfire. Nice video Justin
Trout... Yes. Have you tried stuffing it, wrapping in newspaper, wetting that and then close to the fire? Stops it drying out and as the paper chars the fish smokes slightly.
Sounds great. I must try that. I found that the trout has a lot of fat so if you get it cooked at the perfect time it will still be juicy. But I will try :-)
Just viewed your fishing video, thanks for that,I could smell the smoke and taste the fish with that smoky flavor ah man thanks bro ,much luv for the share.
Fantastic landscape river and luxurious nature. You must have a great blast. Another piece of Australia to discover. Simple things of life makes people feel really alive and that's the best about nature
The pure joy on your face when you arrived in sight of your special river spot....THAT was priceless! I felt the joy through the video screen! What a gorgeous and peaceful place! Thank you for sharing! Cheerio! Sending love & light...peace.
Wow, what an awesome adventure into the wilds. It looked a great four days but hard work to get there. Well done Justin and thank you for sharing your trip.
Done this track 50 times at least. Hard beautiful walk. Some years brilliant fishing others much less. The more rain over a few years the better it gets. Currently as good as it gets 22 trout in a day released not a carp to be seen. Floods pushed them down stream.
Hey johan, we fished 2km down from the swing bridge beyond fish river and found only carp and smaller trout over the weekend. Could you please advise the best spots along the cox to target bigger trout'?
What a beautiful spot, your enjoyment of nature is so obvious. My mouth was watering as you ate the trout. 😉 What river is it? We don't fish but we sure love camping by rivers. Great video 👍
@@gemfish8223 I'm 76 and no longer hike, don't fish either. All I wanted to know was the name of the river as I'm sure it travels through other parts of the state. 😊
@@gemfish8223 thank you sir. In Alaska they use cottonwood trees, in washington state we use alder wood. I want to gather some cotton wood seeds and send them to John hues and maybe you. Cottonwood trees pull the salt out of the soil and prepare it for other plants. Do you think that it may help the citrus farmers in australia grow multiple types of citrus trees and turn some of the desert back into forests?
Nice one. I'm not far from that spot at the moment. The fishing has been phenomenal this spring. The rivers are up but when they drop a bit it's just great. Enjoyed your vid. Thanks for sharing. Cheers PP
Lovely video. You kept it real.
What!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the video series I’ve been waiting on Justin wow great content and beautiful rainbow
Hahah glad you liked
Looks like heaven to me my friend. Beautiful trout you caught. I use to catch them like that when I lived in Alaska. Congrats !
Thanks John Yes I want to go to Alaska one day
Awesome video. Shame about the bald guy 😂
cheeky vid, thanks for sharing the trip what a fish!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff Justin

Great vid - I think I know where you are - best kept a secret :) Thanks for posting !!!

What river are you on
I have subbed and enjoyed the opal vids for a year or two, but you down with trout too?
Dude, we should party
Thanks for the sub! Yeah I love all fishing styles
Was this winter in the Blue Mountains?
Watch him turn that rainbow trout into a $4000 black opal triplet!
💚🤟
Fished that river 40 odd years ago, mostly fly fishing. No carp then. Sad to see the get into the system. Any redfin seen?

Sparkly rocks and now sparkly fish....
I wouldn't be able to fish, I'd be too busy hunting for rocks😄
Haha nice
That’s a hatchery trout
I loved this video,it reminded me of times past when i used to go fishing with my dad for trout,back when he was able to walk long distances and the like,sadly he is no longer able to..but thankyou for the trip down memory lane. I have subscribed and await your next instalment.
Glad you enjoyed it and am sorry your dad is not able to walk far anymore.
beautiful:) q; @5:03 i note you guys put ferns in front of tent; what is the reason? thankyou
Found this by accident. Lovely video. I enjoyed it very much. Greetings from Dimboola in Victoria.
How old ya brother ? You seem very fit ? How old is the oldest a person could safely make that hike if they were still decently fit
What is the campground called or the road you take to get down to the car park? Would love to go there
You're right there. In washington state we call it beaver fever. It sucks.
Awesome adventure mate liked the vid 👍 great to get out in nature top set up ....live for that
a nice video mate, whats the name of the car park?
Loved it! I have this exact same trout mission on my channel also. Wow it looks like the floods have destroyed that place!!!

What is the limit per day also ?
Here In Washington state, in America we can catch and keep five per day and smallest size is eight inches long.
Do you have stealheads there ?
The size limit is 25cm but it differs in spawning rivers. The bag limit differs too but it is 10 in most cases

Glad you enjoyed it. That was genuine happiness since its been 10 years
Beautiful! Makes me want to hit the river right now. Still 7 hours from home though. Maybe tomorrow
Yeah I want to go back
Your the opal guy!
If not you’ve definitely 110% have a twin brother 😂
Carry on Columbus.
Wow, what an awesome adventure into the wilds. It looked a great four days but hard work to get there. Well done Justin and thank you for sharing your trip.
Glad you enjoyed it
come on get home and cut some opal ive been wating for it.😡😡❤️❤️
Haha
with all that cypres ide say thats the western fringe of the blue mountains ? what river ? turon or maquarie ?
Done this track 50 times at least. Hard beautiful walk. Some years brilliant fishing others much less. The more rain over a few years the better it gets. Currently as good as it gets 22 trout in a day released not a carp to be seen. Floods pushed them down stream.
Yeah like it was years ago before the Carp came along
Hey johan, we fished 2km down from the swing bridge beyond fish river and found only carp and smaller trout over the weekend. Could you please advise the best spots along the cox to target bigger trout'?
Thanks for sharing this experience Justin! Absolutely breathtaking!
Where is the carpark you guys set out from? Looking to get out to the cox when this rain stops on us
Just subscribed, awesome video. Smells like more.
Thanks for the sub Mike
So cool you have a fishing channel! Thank you for your content!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks Dawn its a secret spot and also a long hike in
@@gemfish8223 I'm 76 and no longer hike, don't fish either. All I wanted to know was the name of the river as I'm sure it travels through other parts of the state. 😊
Not a secret spot anymore, now that you've put a video like that online and made it pretty obvious where it is 🤦♂️
You really do catch some nice fish.
Sometimes haha thank you
This channel will be the absolute best👍
Thank you
Nice trip beautiful Trout!!! 👍👍
Thanks 👍 Tim
Just beautiful, more vids like this
Thank you! Will do!
You know how to fly fish ?? You would love it!!!
I do but I get short with it lol
10 to 2”” with a nice rhythm !
Wonderful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Justin can you cook on a fire using ucaliptus wood without getting sick from the oils ?
YEs you can no worries but its not really the best wood for smoking
@@gemfish8223 thank you sir. In Alaska they use cottonwood trees, in washington state we use alder wood. I want to gather some cotton wood seeds and send them to John hues and maybe you. Cottonwood trees pull the salt out of the soil and prepare it for other plants. Do you think that it may help the citrus farmers in australia grow multiple types of citrus trees and turn some of the desert back into forests?
we use peach and apple tree to smoke our meats in the smoker. Such a nice subtle aroma and flavour
Course you can it’s called a bbq ( here in Australia) that is
@@gemfish8223 Well your a stuck up wanker
Nice one. I'm not far from that spot at the moment. The fishing has been phenomenal this spring. The rivers are up but when they drop a bit it's just great. Enjoyed your vid. Thanks for sharing. Cheers PP
Hey mate, I've just recently moved out from Ireland and am struggling to find places to fly fish would you mind sharing location?
