Cheers, Mark. It's good to go somewhere different. Sometimes, the places that are tricky to walk around in are worth its weight in gold.

What a neat spot with those undercut banks. Such gorgeous fish too.

Hey thanks for watching bud. Yeah them undercut banks which are in various places of the lake hold some nice fish. A little bit of a breeze helps I find when using the tactic I was using for them last couple of fish.

Well done Tristan. Those flax-lined swampy lakes are fun, if not exhausting!

Never take a shortcut across the swamp at Lake Benmore's Ahuriri Arm, its up to your nether-regions for the most part! I gave up. Now I know there's a better route!

@HighcountryFlylife 9 ай бұрын
@waitakifly Ah that sounds rather dodgy. This place is not quite as swampy as it once was. A lot of the pot hole that was in a lot of the banks seems to have filled in somewhat, but you still have to be careful.

That brown trout you got is a gem. The golden buttery colour on that fish is stunning. Nice video and the crystal clear audio by the sounds of nature is top notch 👌

Thanks, buddy. Yeah, I'm using a totally different camera now to the GoPro. Crisp Clear audio, plus I don't have any issues with recording in a long day in the sun like you generally get with the GoPro.

Fortunately for you, I released this fish back on opening day 😉 Same spot too 👍 The scales said 9lb, so either that fish has lost some condition quickly or scales are broke ha! Just checked back on a picture for cross referencing on the markings and bang on! Anyways, Love your videos dude, keep up the good work and keep the content rolling. 🎣 🤙

@HighcountryFlylife 9 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching, bud. I'd say it's a fair chance your scales are broken 🤔😉 or it was a different fish when you consider the McClean net I was using is relatively new and off camera I put the digital scales on it to confirm and it read 7lb both times. So it would be unlikely my digital would be broke too. Plus, I've caught fish around 8 and 9 before and visually looking at it.." I know it's not 9 lb, but anycase, it was a good one and not a bad little lake. It doesn't get too much attention..

Fished there in 90s a couple of times very challenging,but only encounter I had was with a large eel

Tough place to get good casts in because of all the scrub and flax surroundings, swamp etc.. Indeed I saw some huge huge eels in here. Probably not a lake Id quite happily want to paddle around on a float tube. But there would be some merit in fishing there on a paddle craft given the shoreline the way it is..
