I think Pavel needs a bigger net. So glad to see another video from you…they are some of my absolute favorites
You have made my day. The good news is that Pawel and I made some plans on this trip for the next trip. A big one and I will film it if all goes well weather wise. So probably a bit of a gap in between but more coming. I'll see if I can edit that salwater one in the meantime. Thanks so much for the support.
Hi Johan, very nice takes of Pavel hooking lovely fish. Glad to see you still practicing your long range release technique! Cheers mate. Harera
Thanks very much. It's always funny when I have the dropsies when I am filming. At least it means it should be fine the next trip 🤣 tight lines.
Good to see you both back great video 👍
Awesome thanks, hopefully I get to make a few more this summer
Beautiful river and some awesome fish. Good to see you're back posting. It's mid-Winter in the US and I'm anxious to get back out on the river. Watching enjoyable fishing videos will have to do for now....
It was good to fish and film again and we have more planned. So hopefully that will help get you through the winter. Only a month till till the start of spring right?
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing A bit more than a month: March 19th. Headed to Montana on May 1...
@@schmoonkie hope you have a fantastic trip
So good to see you back in action. Keep them comming really appreciate the effort you put into your videos.
Thanks very much. There might be a bit of a gap but plans were made and hopefully if all works out we will have a good one coming up. Tight lines till then
Another great video Johan, have missed them and appreciate the effort you put into making a top class video
Thanks very much Neil, it's really good to hear you enjoy them so much. I will try my best to keep making them when I get out.
Great to see you and Pavel fishing together again - you make a wonderful team - please keep the videos coming - many of us really do love your style…
Thank you so very much. Incredibly appreciated. Me and Pawel already have some plans in the works in a few weeks' time, and if all goes well, there should hopefully be an awesome video or two from it. So keep an eye out toward the end of February if I don't get a day trip in before that. Tight lines and thanks again.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Cannot wait my friend…
Nice to see the vid mate, love that water! Cool rainbow/ brown duet! 😊
It was neat to have a double fishing pretty much 20m from each other just up different current lines.
Nice! A long time between drinks!! Great edit - I was just downstream from you a couple of days ago - will also be my first YT clip for a while.
It was the same day, we saw your ute coming out. Such an awesome river. Gotta do that strecth with you some day.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Hard case. Bugger - pity I didn't notice you guys, it would have been good to catch up. Weren't the fish were in stunning condition!
@@AboveWorryLevelFlyFishing and hard to keep on the line! We lost a few good ones. Hopefully catch up for a trip sometime soon.
Thank you for making my day, such great videos!
Glad you like them and great to hear it made your day. Tight lines
I'm glad to see you uploading videos and that you've got 15,000+ views in 12 days. People have obviously missed you. Neat to see you offering advise on Chris' channel about the rubbber band as a hook keeper for your second fly.
Thanks so much. It's good to be back making stuff, and I'll keep doing so as and when I can. I have a couple of plans already, so hopefully, there will be some more before the end of summer here, so keep an eye out. Chris is cool, and that channel has some great info and videos. I have been following his photography exploits on DP Review and now Petapixel for years as well. Would love to go fishing with him one day.
nice to see you back good video as always
Thanks so much, glad to be back making something again. Hopefully not as long between videos this time.
Great wild fishing. I sympathise with your falling around in the river. I started using pants that you can put knee pads in and if I don't have high boots on I sometimes wear a thick neoprene wrap on my lower legs.
The knee pads sound like a good option. I have seen similar with shin guards used by competition fly fishers. Might have to get myself some.
Something else I thought of is to find a seamstress to sew a pocket onto your favourite fishing pants and then put the foam knee pad in when you want. That is the arrangement for the pants I use and several other brands from Scandinavia. Another bonus is some of them have a material that stops blackberry/bramble holes.
@@jamesdunlop5796 do you have a link to the pants you use? I'd be interested in having a look
Quick edit Johan. Great footage. Awesome 👌
It was great to get out with you again and always appreciate your help with filming. Makes the videos so much better!
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Good fun
Glad you back johan.... fantastic episode
Thanks Haydn, much appreciated. I'm glad I finally made a video. It's been ages. Hopefully I can get a few more out this summer.
Thanks!
That's awesome. Thank you so very much!
great river nice video!!!!!!
Thanks, it's an awesome river as you know well.
Cool vid! Man Pavel has some fancy fishpond gear! Carbon net too? The fish seem to like it 👍🏼
Thanks man, yes Pawel does love his fish pond stuff. I don't think it's a carbon net, more like a hard plastic but it's a nice net. Fish lay nice and flat in it.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing awesome! I am planning a trip out of Rotorua (North Island) Wed, Thurs poss Fri (the days after Waitangi). If you are free and fancy it you're welcome to join up. I have a few good spots 👌🏽🙏
Thanks mate
Hopefully there will be more this summer.
Great video mate
Thanks mate
Them fish look in superior condition
They are and they put up a good tussle.
Slapping the reel at 12:50 is something new.
😂😂😂 that Johan's signature move
Haha yup, get's the line in pretty quick though
Pięknie!!!!! 👌👌👌👌Klimat Ok !!!!!👍👍👍👍
Thank you
What staff is Patel using there Johan? Thanks
I actually don't know to be honest. I know he has at least two different ones. I'll ask him to reply when he can at some stage.
What gear did you use (line/rod weight) to catch these huge wilds?
I used my 6wt Primal bold with 6wt Airflow ridge line, but normally, I would just use my 5wt setup. Unfortunately, I broke the foot of a guide on that rod, so I had to use the 6wt. I was fishing 4x tippet.
Thanks for that info -- and great vid.
@davidcook5858 thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Happy to help with any info you need. Tight lines
Great video 👍check out LFC custom rods 🇺🇸👍20 year warranty
