Awesome shot.

Fish torturing,no fishing.

Beautiful work

one of the coolest parts of fishing is going out into the middle of nowhere and meeting new people, like what? so random! well i guess not as fun if in the amazon 😅

More of this Dream Team please 👌

I did the same thing with wax worms .but i learned it all by my self.

Love this shot!!

Only in my dreams

So so good seeing you and Alex back in the game again Gareth. Thanks for a great vid and a lot of laughs like the old days with you two, 👌👌👌

Sick!

The quality on these is awesome! Keep ‘em coming!

I have never been to New Zealand although I'm familiar with some of the fishing because the fellow that I taught The Orvis West Coast Schools with from 1987 to 1997 (Dean Schubert) started going down there in about 1990. And unfortunately for me, he would bring pictures back. He would go there in January and come back in April in time for our fist Fly-Fishing School. The first year he went there he fished both the north island and the south island. Every year after that he would fish the South Island. He got introduced around down there because a friend who was a steelhead guide on the North Umpqua River in Oregon, would also guide with some family in new Zealand. I can't tell you how many 8 to 10-lb Brown Trout he caught and brought pictures back to show me and our students. His Girlfriend (now his wife), Debbie, actually catered our 3 and 4-day fly-fishing schools in different locations and she met him there in new Zealand once in a while and would stay for a month. The first year she joined him there, she didn't have the casting skills that she really needed for the big and spooky browns, although she landed plenty of 18" to 20" fish on the Arcularius Ranch (5-miles of private water on the Upper Owens in CA) so she had good fishing skills.. But you didn't need to make 40 to 45-ft. delicate casts on the upper Owens and if you spooked a fish, there were plenty more close by. The places Dean and Debbie fished in New Zealand had big fish but if you spooked them, you'd have to walk at least half a mile to a mile for the next big guy. Like they mention in the video, one person will be fishing while the other person is spotting and coaching both the cast and the drift. It got to be that when it was her turn and she knew she didn't have the casting chops to make a good presentation to the fish, rather than spook the fish with a splashy cast and walk to the next fish, she'd tell Dean to go ahead and cast the fish. And of course he'd usually catch it. The next year, she'd get up around 5AM and started on breakfast which was served at 7:30 if I recall correctly. After breakfast was done, She'd clean up and then head out to the river to practice her casting. Then back around 10 AM to prepare lunch. After lunch, she'd again clean up and then head out to the river to practice her casting once again for 2 or 3 hours. Then she'd come back and cater dinner along with dessert, and after dinner she'd actually go fishing instead of just working on her cast. She knew how far away she needed to be able cast and the type of drifts she needed to make, so she spent a lot of time working on them. We spent 75 to 85 days each year teaching schools on the Arcularius Ranch until it sold and closed down in 1997. Debbie catered every one of those meals. So she got a lot of casting practice in before she headed out to meet Dean in New Zealand. The following year at the first school she catered, she brought out pictures of some of the large fish she caught that year including a wonderful shot of a 10-lb Brown Trout that she took on a dry fly about 45-feet away. New Zealand fishing will inspire that kind of dedication to improving your casting and fishing skills. Oh, and by the way, leave your 6X tippet at home. It got to

nice fish caught at about 6:00. For all the world, that looks like a McCloud Rainbow, which is a sub-species of the Shasta Rainbow. both strains are native to the Lower McCloud River. The Shasta Rainbow from the McCloud River hatchery in California was widely planted in New Zealand and also in Australia, but the McCloud subspecies was not. I used to not only fish on the lower McCloud but would also guide on that river. You can tell immediately when you hook a big fish because you won't move him with the hook-set, but you will tilt him. And usually when you tilt him, you'll see his side flash. If the flash is either pink or silver it's a Shasta Rainbow. If it's an orange flash though, that's a McCloud rainbo. That flash will be orange because The McCloud Rainbow has an orange stripe along the side instead of pink, orange cheeks, and some even have orange cuts under the jaw. They really get orange during spawning in the Spring and the orange fades a bit by mid summer to look like that fish he pulls up at 6:02. That's a really nice buck and they are strong fighters.

Best of the best, together! You guys kick ass. Love Alex accidentally hooking a 25+ inch brown 😂

I think smaller trout is the fastest

what kind of fly line is that? those colors are awesome

I was waiting for you to fall in that tomo again while walking in 🤣but the getting caught with your pants down was classic 😂😂 Good to see you gents together in a vid again.
