That camp set up was pretty good, mate. Awesome looking fly over the whole tent, not that you needed it this time but as we know in NZ, the weather can come at any time in those high country areas. Beautiful river. And fantastic to see those blue ducks (for our international viewers, a rare native duck in NZ).
Yeah I do like having the fly - just gives you dry space when it pisses down. Also helps reduce condensation in/on your tent too I have found. They are pretty cheap. Would love a lighter tent too but they are a bit pricey!!
Alex thanks for posting man! Excellent as always. I live in Colorado in the US and we fish in temperatures below 30 degrees where the guides on the rod freeze. It’s well worth it because of the big fishing moving out of the lakes and into the river. What a fantastic fish at the end of the video! It’s such a feeling to end a trip on a fish like that
Dude! 20 minutes in, and I'd say you CRUSHED it! One ad for how to trade Pot Stocks. One ad for Cold Weather Camping, and one ad for how to get better sleep with the Purple mattress! What you lacked in trout, I'd say you more than made up for in ad revenue (maybe), with this 30 program. As always, I am thoroughly enjoying! ☮️ out homie 👊, Kevin
Thanks my bro! 💯 percent worth while trip. Lots of good stuff going on there and always fun to drop off the grid and piss around on a river. Like being a kid again isn’t it, building camps and fires and fishing and sleeping outside....!
Hey Alex awesome video bro !!! Its hard enough to fish when it's cold out there and on top of that you made a kick ass video for us ! Your the man keep up the awesome work bro !
Alex, Great job dude. What a mission. Was a bit worried for u, with those ice rocks along the bank. But as usual, your fish were just incredible bro. Really good job on filming too. Hope you brought a GPS, in case you slip on the ice. Worry about seeing u get outta there. Great job! P.j. Calif.
Once again an epic vid mate. Ive got to try those caramel lattes next trip. Your one hard nut dude. That looked cold. Have you ever tried sleeping in the hammock in winter. Check out Sierra madre nube shelter with under blanket for winter. I use a hammock now all the time. It suits setting up real fast last thing at night and the take down is rapid.
Cheers Wes, give the. caramel a shot dude, you will love it. Nah I haven't ever tried a hammock but am really interested in trying one out actually. does that under blanket do the job warm in winter?
Hardcore mission, colds a killer over distance. I can recommend a "Rab Microlight alpine "jacket. as alight top or midlayer, Just never wash it or use the pockets else its fucked lol But bangin warm.
if I am not mistaken Alex in this video around the 26min mark when you are landing the donkey, I thought I could see another 2-3 other fish in the water flickering around to the right, can you confirm this?
Sure hope someone knows where you go and when you are to return. Twist an ankle or break something and you would be in a world of hurt. Great fish and beautiful country. By the way, was it cold???
It was a bit cold yeah....! Someone always knows where I am going and when I should be back and knows what to do if I don't turn up. Also always carry a locator beacon with me too.
There's an old saying Alex that 90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the fishermen.Those guys that are prepared to put in the hard yards, hump the packs, and do the kms in adverse conditions and push the boundaries in their quest for piscatorial gold. well done old bean :-)
Watch ur back alone camping there dangers people out there just letting u know I've seen it on a fishing stream not safe do alone camping take someone with u safe then u got some back up just letting u know bro
Please stop adding that dreadful disco music all over your videos, it's super annoying and makes it really difficult to enjoy your videos. Great content otherwise, but that music needs to be gone.
Been a great day watching your channel
Love the commentary
Great place
Great fish
The music is chill too
Keep up the good work
Appreciate that bro. Stoked you been enjoying the content 🤙

Would love a lighter tent too but they are a bit pricey!!
Love going back and seeing the progression... gives me hope. Keep on keeping on!

Haha, I know. I feel like such a pussy when I moan about the cold when it’s a warm day for you guys!!
Alex thanks for posting man! Excellent as always. I live in Colorado in the US and we fish in temperatures below 30 degrees where the guides on the rod freeze.
It’s well worth it because of the big fishing moving out of the lakes and into the river.
What a fantastic fish at the end of the video! It’s such a feeling to end a trip on a fish like that
Cheers man. Always worth the effort aye...you don’t catch fish by staying indoors!
Dude! 20 minutes in, and I'd say you CRUSHED it! One ad for how to trade Pot Stocks. One ad for Cold Weather Camping, and one ad for how to get better sleep with the Purple mattress! What you lacked in trout, I'd say you more than made up for in ad revenue (maybe), with this 30 program.

Well done bro! Want to get down there so bad! A fish like that can make the pain and cold go away.
Cheers mate.
It sure can aye
Hey Alex awesome video bro !!! Its hard enough to fish when it's cold out there and on top of that you made a kick ass video for us ! Your the man keep up the awesome work bro !
Nice one Louie.Good on ya mate👊
Espectacular, un abrazo desde la Patagonia Argentina. Buena pesca!
Another serious adventure yielding some serious fish! Gotta get back to NZ when this C-19 stuff is done.
Yeah that was a good time!!
Nice one bro!! What an adventure. And what a collection of fish. Quality not quantity.
Yeah man, was a mission!
Nailed it mate
Cheers dude
Nice Monster Bro!! Definitely worth the hike but sucks packing all the weight.
Yep - it was a mission alright bro.
Alex, Great job dude. What a mission. Was a bit worried for u, with those ice rocks along the bank. But as usual, your fish were just incredible bro. Really good job on filming too. Hope you brought a GPS, in case you slip on the ice. Worry about seeing u get outta there. Great job!

Cheers bro. I always have a Beacon with me when I fish - just in case
Really fat big healthy fish and even a brownie, cold, long nasty hike but i'd say it paid off, great stuff as usual:)
Cheers man

Nah I haven't ever tried a hammock but am really interested in trying one out actually.
does that under blanket do the job warm in winter?
Use toe warmers and hand warmers when weather/water cold.
Great adventure, Alex. What constitutes the "season" as in "that's my fish of the season"? Awesome jack rainbow and that jaw, man!
My season runs from when the backcountry rivers are open -
So from The beginning of October until the end of April in most rivers
Hardcore mission, colds a killer over distance. I can recommend a "Rab Microlight alpine "jacket. as alight top or midlayer, Just never wash it or use the pockets else its fucked lol
But bangin warm.

Yet again making me jealous mate, so keen for my trip in October with Stu Hastie.
Cheers bro @jagerflies (Eugene)
Nice one bro. Not long til October now mate....😄
Sweet as Thanks for that,fred hammer Taihape
Awesome vid sir. What kind of rain jacket were you using?
Thanks heaps! That was the Loop wading jacket - looked good but can’t say the same for its performance...
perfect, looks like spawning season here ? It is North isla?
Yep North Island
Sure hope someone knows where you go and when you are to return. Twist an ankle or break something and you would be in a world of hurt. Great fish and beautiful country. By the way, was it cold???
It was a bit cold yeah....!
Someone always knows where I am going and when I should be back and knows what to do if I don't turn up. Also always carry a locator beacon with me too.
nice tent you have! what is that? :) very nice adventure!
Just a hunting and fishing brand. Nothing flash but it’s pretty good. A little heavy for my liking but it does the job
Superb!
Awsome video I would love to go fishing with you one day
Just looking for the link to set up the nymph rig? How do i find it? Awsome trip by the way

Thanks old chap!
The big missions are the funnest missions.
@@TrippinOnTrout absolutely and make for some of the most memorable experiences .
Great video. Some bloody massive fish. What were you getting them on mate?
Just small browns nymphs from memory bro.
Nothing flash
...post script....
Some backpack manufacturer should be running an ad on this video as well 😂
good vid ! !! when are you getting your swinging rod ?
Cheers man. I have just got a single hand Spey line so am starting to play with that at the moment.
A two hander isn’t in the budget this year though
@@TrippinOnTrout cool !! good to hear , single hand Spey is a blast,enjoy bro !!
