- A throwback to Christmas Eve 2020 when I go and catch up with my buddy Dion and we fish who may be one of the BEST trout streams I have come across yet!
Stacked with big brown trout and the odd rainbow too, it's unlike any river I have fished before!

well done boys...epic day Dion.brilliant
Thanks mate. Catch up summer! 🎣
ALEX HEY LAD .. NICE COLOURED BROWNIES.. WAY TO GO MATEY.. BOB..
Deon determined not to give the fish an inch 🤣
Haha yeah buddy you give those fish an inch they take a mile 🤏👐😂
Good watch Alex..super fish.
Chur bro 👊
Alex, I’m always happy to see one of your videos come up. I’ve learned so much from your content over the past few years and have really been able to step up my level of fishing out here in Colorado. Thanks a lot mate!
Ayy I'm from colorado too
Stacked seems like an understatement, that place looks like there're more browns than water. Thanks for sharing and helping us through the b..... lockdown.
Hope you are doing ok there Bo. Hang in there mate 🤙🤙
Another beauty! Well done Alex and thanks for giving those who follow something to look forward to. Cheers
Thanks for tuning in each week mate🤙
It's the prettiest one you've shown us in a long while. Magical. Even with the rain
That rain looked cool across the river aye!
Everything about this video is beautiful. The lush greenery, the water, the amazing fish.. great job, gents!
Thanks heaps!
To paraphrase Matthew Quigley " I said I didn't care to do it, I never said I didn't know how". Great Video mate!
I love that quote!!! Mr Quigley nailed it!
Hi Alex,
Without doubt the best brown trout river in the universe. Great place and great video.
Thanks A
Spent 9 hours on the Bighorn today and came back to another Alex video. My fishing day isn’t over yet!
Big day on the water bro!
Pretty snaggy on the opposite bank. Biggest fish I hooked in my NZ trip was on a spring creek that looked like that in places. Big browns sure know how to snag line, wrap around roots and under boulders....making it all the more challenging to land them.
Awesome keep em coming
How I wish I could travel to your country, my friend, enjoy the tug of trout together. what a beautiful fish 👍👍👍
Man what a great beautiful stream with stunning fish great video
Tough to beat this you lucky devils....slice of fishing paradise! Thanks for a great show.
Spoilt alright!
Epic bro! Another great delivery to keep us entertained during lockdown. Cheers Alex!
Nice one bro🤙
Alex, Glad you found this video footage, and hope you get out of lockdown soon so I don’t have to wait too long for the next one. Absolutely stunning fish from such a small river. Some of the prettiest, and well fed browns that I have seen.
Thanks man, I’ll rustle some rib up for next week🤙
😯😯😯😯Amazing fishing guys 👊👊👊🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Cheers Alex, !!
Nice one Greg💪🤙
Is it just me, or does anyone else also watch Alex's indicator? Closest I can get to fishing atm - our Vic trout season opens tomorrow but we're in lockdown🤬
Another great vid Alex
Don't believe I could take a day like that without becoming completely jaded. Fish like those are very far and in between were I usually fish. Terrific day for you on the water.
It’s a pretty special place that!
Another mint production Alex, the effort and time you put into these videos 🤙 cheers!
Cheers bro🤙
Never miss nothing but bangers

YOU MAKE IT LOOK EZ BUT FUN AT THE SAME TIME 😊I LEARNED ALOT FROM WATCHING YOU. I NEVER CAUGHT A LARGE FISH BUT STILL ON THE HUNT ONE 🤙🤙🤙 From U.S. Arizona
It's def not easy but it IS fun!! Just spend as much time as you can on the water and the big fish will come bro...
Awesome. One of those browns would make my day. I hope to get one such brown torpedoes in Feb 2023 with Alex. Thanks for posting!
Fingers crossed aye mate!
Mate those fish are stunning. Amazing how many that stream holds!
Yeah it’s a freak of nature that place!
Great as usual Alex. Hope you guys come out of hibernation soon, can't be any fun.
Cheers mate. Level 3 now so can fish very close to home 🤙
Amazing colours and fishing as always 👍good job

Cheers man, appreciate it! We are spoilt for beautiful places here
We live in a piscatorial paradise
So cool mate .Cheers Tim.
Yes mate we do! Privileged💥
Your fishing buddy was a bit camera shy was he hahaha
Them brownies are in super condition!!
Really light coloured I noticed.some very like our sea trout(when our sea trout are a bit coloured)
Fly fishing dont get any better than that and your a lucky mo-fo for having that sort of fishing on your doorstep.if I had anywhere I'd like to fish then that stream would be in my top 5 in places around the world to fish.
It’s world class alright!
some familiar water there :) Doin definitely knows his stuff , Wicked Video
He has that fishery dialled in for sure!
Love your work and hope to ingest some of your expertise. Especially if I can get to NZ in Feb 2022 😍
Thanks man, appreciate that!
Love the little rainbow footballs. So scrappy. Similar to what we get in our local systems
Yeah they go like stink!!
Cracking Broon troot Alex the last one was shaped like a torpedo stunning fish 🇦🇺🇦🇺🏴🏴🐟🎣
Hey Lawrence!
Good to see you here man🤙🤙
@@TrippinOnTrout always here for you pal 🏴🏴🇦🇺🇦🇺🐟🎣🙂
As per, quality mate!
Thanks my bro.
Hope you are good down there💥
Those trout are amazing , and crazy to see u driving on wrong side of car and road 😂
😆😆
Merry Christmas!
Haha, seasons greetings!!😆
you guys get some big ass trout! killer!
Wauaww 👍👍
🤙🤙
Yes..... finally some brownies and really nice fat ones, gooood stuff:)
Hello 😊
I’m qurious absout why you don’t fish streamers more often? It’s such a fun and active way to fish. I’m sure that the browns would smash some big olive conehead style bunny streamers. I’ll send you one if you want ⭐️
Great vid btw 👌🏻
"LEGEN wait for it DARY"
Love that you went there!😆
🐟👍👍👍✌
Sick vid bro! Is that a private river?
No it’s a public river bro
@@TrippinOnTrout ohh that river in bloody good nick with all them quality fish
I am most of the time catch and release person but do you ever keep one to eat?
No I don’t keep any fish bro
Your art could be giving your fishing a hurry up ... Gorgeous shots, slick editing, lots of artistic framing and what a stream
Awesom Marc, thanks mate🤙
Bro is this an old video or was it recently made? Your saying it was Christmas Eve and the last day of fishing before Christmas has absolutely blown my mind. I mean i know yalls seasons are totally opposite from ours here in the US but i was almost certain the holidays would be the same huh? Just curious. As always man excellent video.
Yeah nah it’s old footage from last December 😆
@@TrippinOnTrout lol i figured it might have been. Awesome bro
Where is this place looks amazing
my profile photo is taken in the same place as appear 1:12 - 1:55 :-)))
Can I go next time? Lol
Do you ever catch small fish over there? 🤣 I think the smallest fish I’ve seen you catch on your channel is a once a year type fish for me in the US. Was wondering if you catch them and just don’t show the clips or if there’s a reason or technique you only get into giants
Hey Jase, as someone who fishes those same Lake Taupo tributaries that feature in Alex's winter vids, I can assure you that 2.5-4lb average, with very very occasional smaller fish, or big fish, is absolutely accurate. They are unique fisheries in that the fish are mostly migratory, heading up to spawn at the same ages. Hence the similar size. Very few small yearling fish which haven't dropped back to the lake to mature, and they normally sit in different spots to the migratory holding fish, so it's rare to hook them.
Alex's summer vids like this repeat one are also accurate. Fewer, but typically bigger resident fish in the back country rivers. We're just blessed with the right environment for the trout introduced from US and UK to get large. But it's often hard sight fishing, particularly in the South Island. I would bet the depiction of size in vids like today's is realistic.
@@thor_6886 Can you shed some light to another topic that I've noticed when watching these fishing videos from NZ: Do you ever fish or catch bigger fish on the white water sections or rapids of the rivers? Seems to me the fish are always in the deeper pools where the current is relatively slow. Is it because of the clear water and maybe the cool temperature of the water that the fish don't go to those spots? Or don't you just fish them?
It kind of makes sense that bigger fish want to be in deep pools, but here in the Northern Europe it's not uncommon to catch big browns in the most rapid and foamy parts of the river. I've understood that they seek those places because of the more cooler water and bait fish. Is this not the case in NZ?
@@thor_6886 That is amazing. It's not that i didn't think it was accurate, just that I was wondering where all the smaller fish are. I didn't realize that these fish are migrating from lakes, which makes a lot more sense. Watching these videos is like a dream to me. The wild brown trout where i fish are almost all in very small mountain streams so catching anything over 17-20 inches is a massive fish for the size of the water. Thank you for the info
Summed it up there bro, thanks for chipping in here🤙
@@LooneyLoon Hi mate. Funnily enough, in the Taupo tributary rivers that you see in the winter vids of Alex and Gareth, almost all the fishing is done in typical deep 'holding' pools where the fish sit for shelter. But some big fish get caught in the fast rapids entering the pools too. Often big browns, which are also present in the Tongariro but way fewer than the rainbows (North American steelhead ancestry). Most people don't fish them, because it's easier to fish the pools and there are more fish sitting there, but some good fish sit in the pockets.
As far as the summer backcountry fishing, Alex obviously likes his sight fishing, and that typically is in deeper pools. I think big browns are a bit territorial and they patrol a big deep pool, and it's obviously requires less energy than sitting in fast water, and they can also see nymphs and terrestrials coming easier in slower water. But you're absolutely right, particularly when the weather heats up and the more oxygenated water in the fast runs is so appealing for them, a lot of top anglers fish the rapids relatively blind. Fish sit in front of boulders etc. Also the 'eye' of the pool just beside where fast water enters. But drag can be a nightmare in that spot. The back country fishing here is quite unique I think. You'll have seen those vids Alex did in the South Island where he walked a long way between spotting fish. you could waste a lot of time fishing a nice looking rapid blind, when there are no fish in it! The populations are low, but they are BIG fish.
date check
At 1:00 its a beautiful place, Where is it please ?
Amazing fish indeed.
Does the water clear up for dry fly or sight nymph fishing?
Thats as clear as it gets. You can see some fish and target them but there’s always that tanin stain look to that stream
Is this in New Zealand mate?
Yep
That’s definitely not the best trout stream in the world but I sure want to fish it to make sure.
You do want to be thorough before you make a call...
Alex, please see the message I left you on the Friday Filler Blackout. Now I will watch this video.
xmas?
Yeah it’s old footage that I dug up due to not being able to get out and fish during this latest lockdown
