- A sunny day out fishing with Cam Reid on a big brawling river at the top of the South Island. Fish came to the dry and nymph giving more signs of a good season ahead...

Just a dream. Thanks for the video
Gratifying to see a couple of gents who know how to properly handle fish! Well done!
A very nice little slice of heaven you got to fish in! Nice job boys!
Hello Guys
Very Nice vid. Nice place to fish clear clean water and great fish.
Wel done, nice to see.
Beautiful fish. I'm so jealous. Tight lines guys.
Nice video Mike.
Great scenery and superb river---So many rivers--and so little time.
Cheers.
Im so glad I live in NZ best move I ever made. Nice vid and a great reminder!
Very nice video lads. I was lucky enough to live in Kaikoura for 2 years, this made me homesick! Hope you keep having great fishing seasons.
What a beautiful video! Awesome fish and stunning scenery. I live in a fairly beautiful part of W.A. but compared to this it is like chalk and cheese, ahh 1 day 1 day.
Good to see Cam utilises the mouth technique of line management!
Thanks for the help!
Boring? Obviously not a fisherman, great video just like all of your uploads Mike, always high quality!
Awesome Fishing:) Well done.
I lived in the Nelson area while working for NZFS Mike--plenty of rivers and streams down your way. Great scenery too.
Cheers for that. South Island.
Quality as usual.
I love it ! great sports man , Thanks
good fish!
What a beautiful river and I do not speak about fishes, félictations for this video!! It is extra(special)!
;) Cheers for that. Ya gotta wonder some times.
Cheers buddy!
nice fish
Wow.. that is some nice water.
I live in Melbourne atm but I hope to one day settle down in Reefton or Nelson and enjoy flyfishing like that.
Pondguru brought me here haha, such beautiful waters and fish. That water had to be ice cold :s
Went out with Cam at the same spot maybe a little down further. It was hard going, with only 3 landed. None of any great size though. but seen heaps of those huge buggers in those swift pools. Cams a great guy.
Cheers!
now that's is just perfect place i would happily live the rest of my live there.
Thanks!
lol, it would be some lead up though... :-) Awesome channel you have. Well done. The trip here would exceed your expectations but probably spoil you for fly fishing the rest of your life...
Way to take that comment :) Don't let 'em bug ya just keep doing what you're doing!
In November when this was shot, about 14 degrees Celcius. Not to bad and the trout love it!
Nice fishing but the fish are typical early season fish, lacking in condition, but nice to watch.
Thanks for that :-)
@badgerfishing Hey Jack, yeah us mainlanders are a bit rough... ;-) You still on for the Wistle trip? Be a good time me thinks...
Thanks for that. Plenty more if you check my other clips...
Cicadas, Vine Hoppers, Willow Grubs, Para Adams, CDC Caddis
Aloha Mike- Just three more weeks bro...Watching some old clips to get ready for October. Never seen anyone leave an indicator on when fishing a dry. Is it ok if I use the same technique if you force me to fish a dry?
No problem (he says with gritted teeth)
What kind of rods were you using? Great video by the way!
No worries, check out my other clips.
Cheers, I'd have to live to about 300 to fit all the fishing in i'd like to do...
Yeah, some still to reach top nick but one or two were very good nick and great sport
Thanks. 6wts - Sage TCX and Scott I think...
@Bagjo123 Cheers mate.
Yep - at times! :-)
Awesome. I'm desperate to clear my debts and move to NZ. Knowing my luck I'll have a fatal heart attack on the flight over there....
what country is this in? never seen water so clear beautiful fish and country side where ever yall are though. good job keep the vids coming
NZ = New Zealand
what are the pros to fishing a dry with an indicator? is it just to know where your fly is when fishing smaller dries or did you just not feel like removing it?
I think he mentions why in the clip
@Mark5Fish Cheers!
@hawkesbaybushmannz Thanks man :-)
Hi, Great video's i was watching this one and it was great editing. what editing software do u use. i only have i movie 11 and i want to upgrade to better software thanks and hope you get back to me.
I got a question for you Mike!
Wich dry flies should i put in my box if I'm coming to New Zealand?
Hi. If I may ask, how far away from Nelson is this? Cheers
I would be afraid to fish like that. because after you have fished on an excellence level like that, what do you do then?
They aren't as hard as you might think although you have to get everything right... They have to feed a lot in crystal clear water as these are the most common conditions here...
Dont know much about fishwere they Trouts? can you find Salmon in any of the Marlborough rivers?
@ralphmcgee1 Hey - thanks for that :-)
I was kinda hoping you would tell me that NZ isn't all its cracked up to be. I'll be thinking about it non stop for months now....
We have it piped in
but isnt it hard to get it in with the current and the fish running off
seems to be hard to make the fishs bite in such a clear water, they get shy...
What a Beautiful country side,,,what a Celsius degree in summer/spring in new Zealand/???,,and what month summer or spring here sir????thnks for answer my question,,from KL,
Thanks - about 18 - 32 celcius is the spring summer autumn temp range and summer is from about November to March
truth be told, you dont have to worry about being a desk job whatever at my firm, you wouldnt even make it into the parking lot, let alone the building heh heh.
Ha ha, good point :-) Had quite a few better trips than this though for the season... tight lines.
...probably not necessary - maybe just shrink one a bit and hope... :-)
Nothing like a little constructive criticism...
I wanna fish waters that are that clear
wang has some issues, and apparently your flyfishing vids have brought them up to the surface heh. You should market yourself as flyfishing guide, and psychiatrist. did you ever think a flyfishing vid would get someone this amped up? its not like you guys are mishandling the fish or making false claims. btw, keep the vids coming, great work.
No. Never been stocked as with almost all rivers in NZ, it contains a self sustaining wild population... Everyone that has even a faint idea on NZ fishing knows this...
Lol, well said - you gotta wonder what lies ahead for a loser that comes up with stuff like that. Probably prison.
Plz tell me why the water is so fuking clear!!
Agreed. Thing i can't work out is why is that moron looking at my clips and not trolling the internet for Thai lady boys, or anger management sites for those confused about their sexuality? Maybe he needs to sleep with his hands above the covers - although the inference about that would probably be lost on the little boy...
Fantastic trouts. Makes me wanna quit my job and go to NZ as fast as I can.
Keep it up!!!
Best, swagtrout.com

Moron. Planet Earth- try visiting sometime. Why watch this if you have no idea, logic or intelligence. People who have to criticize others, having done nothing of any note themselves should leave making comments to the adults... Desk job?! I work in the bush princess. Bet you'd last a few hours there before crying about missing your playstation... Yawn.
someone needs a life
Introduced not stocked - look up the definition.... I'm starting to believe you are dumber than you sound. Hard to believe - but true.
Your still and idiot?! It's You're!! (as in You Are!...) Try learning the english language, more important i would think, than ranting with a child like vocabulary and making a fool of yourself. Hilarious.
boring
Thanks for that. :-)
