Join Hans Kreuer as he furthers his fledgling Euro Nymph journey with the help of good mate, and 11 times national fly fishing champion, Cory Scott. Cory shows Hans one of his favorite local rivers, deep in the North Island backcountry, and gives a crash course on the finer points of what he has dubbed 'Kiwi Contact Nymphing'.
The journey into this remote catchment is tough, with steep climbs and rough terrain testing the legs and lungs. The term 'journey' also aptly describes Hans's desire to keep learning even into his mid fifties.
Amazing country and stunning Rainbows are the perfect backdrop to this voyage of discovery.

Every one of Mike's videos is a gem. At about 13 minutes into the video where Cory crossed the stream trying to land that large fish I was impressed. I wouldn't have dared doing that in that flow. Losing that fish must have been heartbreaking. We've all been there... Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Yeah Cory's a committed guy when it comes to landing big fish!

Nobody puts together such evocative fly fishing videos as you Mike. This is a stunning insight into the North Island backcountry. Thanks to Cory, Hans and yourself for sharing this adventure. It blew my mind. Epic stuff. Hats off to you for the time it would have taken to craft a video as polished as this.

Mike, congratulations on this extraordinary movie. What pictures with the two fantastic fly fishermen Hans and Cory. Master class in perfection. And the landscape, doping for the eyes! In January 2023 I had the good fortune and pleasure of being able to fly fish with Hans on the West Coast for three days with my son. They were unforgettable days for us and all the impressions from back then come back to mind with photos like these. A big thank you for this film and warm greetings from the two Swiss, who would have preferred to fly fish again in New Zealand yesterday rather than tomorrow. And please pass the greetings on to your wife. Maybe she still remembers us......

What a treat it was to watch this very special production from your camera and mixing room, Mike. Enchanting scenery that sends that spiritual vibe right at you through the screen. Two of the best fly fishers in their game catching big fish with technique adapted to the water. Me and my three fishing buddies sat glued to the screen barely saying a word for the full hour.. Simply brilliant stuff, all three of you!

Thanks so much for your awesome comment. It heartens me to picture guys like yourselves captivated by a KZfaq clip. Speaks volumes of the better (and less known) positive side of Social media. You've put a smile firmly on my dial. I have a film festival offering in the pipeline so watch this space 😬

@HighcountryFlylife Ай бұрын

It never ceases to amaze me the evolution in your production films. The stunning camera work, the music mixed in with your narration where everything from picture to the crystal clear audio of the ambience of nature throughout your film making is always second to none and its a priviledge to watch what you share for us on this platform. That definitely looked like some hard work to get to that river via foot as Hans was eluding to during the intro but looking at the serenity that unfolded it would have been worth every second and you had the best seat in the house. The cherry was added on top with your tank of a fish to finish on 🤙

My favourite river. A deeply spiritual place that I take a yearly pilgrimage to. Devastating to see the damage wrought by Cyclone Gabrielle on this beautiful spot - but equally amazed at the ability of this river to rebound. Beautiful videography that honours this place. Ngā mihi nui.

Great video guys. The first time I took my mate Bolty in was exactly the same. We paused on the escarpment and I said 'people would pay good money for just a view like that - let alone the fact that we are going to catch a heap of fish. I never tire of that place and look forward to my next trip there in summer. Camped in both camps you filmed - ususlly the bottom one. My profile pic was taken in the water where you had your euphoric half hour.

The unfortunate truth in the Western US is warming rivers means that after peak runoff fish are holding deep, what's left of them anyway. Oregon's Deschutes River is now a shadow of it's former self and anytime after early June you are pretty much left with split shot or heavy nymphs. That makes this master class right on point.

Hey guys. Watching from the Kootenay region of British Columbia,Canada. Have been fishing the Columbia river here for trout...on the fly.. Of course. Walleye are hitting well I hear.. But I gotta tell you guys something .. I have fished this areas rivers and creeks, and over a good part of British Columbia, but I have never seen ANYTHING to compare with New Zealand.. You guys know how blessed you are. .... Not a question ....it was a statement...lol. Love the video .....again another brilliant piece of work. When we get there, i am looking you up... My wife, a Kiwi by birth, has even mentioned that she is figuring that she's going to have to share a lot of my time with the waters there... I'm going to have a whole new world to explore ... I guess you hate your job eh? Must be AWFUL to have to travel around Paradise fishing... Keep up the fantastic work... Thanks again... Fans in Canada... Natalie and Joe...

Who am I to argue with THAT! I have been trying to get there since the 80s. Missed a chance to live on a sail boat for 2 years getting there, and regretted it since... I met a 19 year old Kiwi girl in a coffeeshop in my hometown....who became my friend....then she became my stepdaughter... Her mom came to visit her and wound married to me. You Kiwi's are a special breed of people, as I have been lucky enough to discover....(fortune smiled on me)....through meeting other folks from there... You can bet on the fact that I AM going to look you up...we'll enjoy a cuppa...as I've learned to call them. My stepdaughter is into hunting and fishing.....in Australia, where she lives, and has her own business...lives in Jindy. That young lady brought me to the best part of my life, 10 years ago, and I have not looked back since.. See you when we get there...

Awesome video! You truly have a gift. Great fly fisherman and amazing cinematographer . Beautiful country you have there. Did you see another fisherman on that trip? Since covid everyone here in the US has gotten into fly fishing. I backpack 7 or 8 miles into the back country to find solitude. Maybe they will lose interest? I am going to have to make a trip out to your beautiful country. Best!

One less likely to take ur kids/nephews, neices, w/e to than the other. I just was in a stream fishing brooktrout earlier today. And they're said to be from this native stock/family of primeval trout, said to sharing the same DNA (or some - dont qoute me on that) world wide (these are from the Lower-mid section parts of Sweden, in an closed system of small rivers and streams (rip this once such lovely contry tho. lel:). Pretty sure they are some cousins or something to these humongous, x10-sized relatives O.o Simply amazing world this is! Im scare of the "ruling elite" tho, maybe soon be making this to be "reclamation land", along with rest of 95% of the "official" (aka stolen) land known to the lost voters... And smart cities living zones.. welp.
