I'm guessing things won't have changed much?

Sounds like you had some awesome trips mate, planes certainly make you feel alive!!

Don't think I was ever going to win this fish battle Ken! Cheers for watching

Hahaha she's slowly learning her craft

Thanks Tony, hit the stag about 6 inches down the neck! It looked like a head shot on the video, but I'm not that good a shot lol

@@BackridgeButcher Was a great shot mate, 👍

It's certainly a neat part of the backcountry

Did you meet him at the Boyd? His sense of humor in his books was amazing

Met him at Makahu carpark and he let us stay in the doc rangers hut after we’d come out of Backridge fridge (bivi) in the snow after a Southerly had come through, we’d made the trip up from Motueka and had to wait for our ride from another part of our crew who had gone elsewhere. Top bloke with a great sense of humour alright.

He's super cool under pressure mate, cheers for watching

Try a green Mepps Veltic next time or a tiny Rapala. I thought that river was fly fishing only but?

💯 sure you can use spinners mate, we & friends have triple checked the rules that we can find, appreciate your concern though, I don't want to go to jail

No dramas, last time i fished there was back in around 2002, I used to fly in with Christine and then hike down the river and fly camp, similar to what you guys were doing. Green Mepps Veltics work very well in those crystal clear back country rivers. @@BackridgeButcher

Special part of the backcountry, thanks for watching

Cheers Greg, when are you after Sika next??

@@BackridgeButcher I’d like to do another mission or two soon on foot, then it’s 🚁 into Otutu for our annual roar trip

Thanks mate for the kind words and advice, where abouts in aussie are you and what do you get to hunt??

@@BackridgeButcher Hi I’m in Victoria Far East Gippsland, Sambar deer here but still recovering from the Bush fires. Trout will sit in the water head facing upstream, waiting for there food source to come with the current, less effort , look for the white/pale rocks, they will sit on which makes there food stand out as it travels over it, thanks again BRB.

Millions of peaches, peaches for me

Lab,GWP, wirehaired vizsla...kind of all crossed together mate

Definitely wasn't good in the Ruahine, hence the reason we took the long way round north of the Kaweka’s, was really cool seeing some new area from the birds eye view

You pay 1/2 the fuel mate

What year was that?

@@BackridgeButcher it was 2020 didn’t know it was a airstrip till I watched your video haha

@@jadejaslarz8019 Awesome

Seriously? Why do trout like bread? Small pieces of venison I could understand, but bread?

@@BackridgeButcher they just love it little balls rolled up size of marble
