@@markbrown5751 Thanks, buddy. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah, on the rig setup and nymph selection, it's something I'll make more of a mention about it next season when I do another video. I did kind of chat about it very briefly at some point when I was blind fishing the run and spoke about using an indicator and small mayfly nymph, but I wasn't specific about the setup. I've just posted another video if you wanna check it out. It's entirely different to this one, though. Cheers 👍

@spraggo0007 Thanks John. It will be my last video for a little while unless I do a surprise visit to a fishery somewhere during the back end of winter and find something worthy enough to film but most unlikely at this stage. I'll be spending most of my time on the fly tying table until the regular season resumes. Cheers 👍

@kiwitroutstalker8845 Thanks, Mark. Yeah it was a good way to break down some of the rivers without giving away too much of where I went as I had several clips on file and still a few I didn't put up but some of my finer moments I added on film. Campfire next to river where you can hear a bit of a side stream in the background flowing alongside me under a still night is hard to beat. Roll on next season 👍

@waitaki_fly Thanks, mate. It's been a season full of exploration, but I'd come across a few good fish. Campfire alongside the river is hard to beat. In the lakes, I find the loves lure an effective pattern as it's easier to see in the water or a Coch-y-bondhu, which has a more bulky profile, which helps its buoyancy. Other than that, just your standard green foam beetle or Manuka pattern. Anywhere from late November through to February, the hatches are abundant. I'm looking forward to trying out my new Sony camera for next season which has just arrived. It's a significant step up from what I have been using.

@@waikarimoana Thank you for your support as usual and I'm glad you enjoyed the video

@@MasterCrowOutdoors I'm glad you enjoyed the video, much appreciated

@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS Thank you, brother. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Onto the next season in a couple of months' time.

@@HighcountryFlylife I'll be waiting patiently my brother an look forward to it. 👊💀🍻

@TasdazDownunder Thanks Daz. It sure wad a good season

@troutstalkers6922 Thanks, mate. I do feel the off-season is going through quite quickly. Technically, just 2½ months left until we can do it all over again, not long, really.

@HighcountryFlylife cheers mate, but 2 and a half months too long for me....😁 Hope it will be another great season. 😉

@troutstalkers6922 You are right, but I try not to think about it 😅 I try and spend a bit of time on the fly tying table till it's fishing time again. Well, eventually, haha.

@@kieranfsher4410 Thanks mate, nothing beats sitting in front of a campfire next to the river

@@danielsadventures2897 Thanks buddy I'm glad you enjoyed the film

Thanks buddy. Your comments are appreciated as always. I have one more film to upload within the next month or so till next season. Stay tuned

Thank you buddy

It's never as easy as it looks haha. Cheers 💯

Thanks mate. Sure was some Fiesty browns. The one I lost was the same too which was around the same size

Yeah always great to get one more trip in and thanks for watching

Thank you for the kind feed back as always Tony

Yeah nothing beats the back country bro, such an awesome place to be especially when you get weather like it was on this day. Thanks man

@@HighcountryFlylife you ain't lying brother.

Hey man it has been a while. Ill have to catch up with you some time. There will only be one more video to go up which will be in another month or so time and that will be it till next season.

haha as warm as the weather looks on screen, the water is nowhere near the same in temperature especially at this time of the year and up these ways.

@@HighcountryFlylife fair call... When I hit my desired weight... you'll see but involves cold water

Thanks for watching buddy

Any day on the river is a good day. But weather like this certainly does wet the appetite. Thanks bud.

@HighcountryFlylife Nothing beats a blue bird day in the outdoors, whether that's hunting or fishing 👊

Thanks Paul. Yeah this place gets a bit of pressure. Earlier in the season it would be more fruitful. The river had come up a little due, to some rain prior to this day, river clearing which is normally a good time to hit it.

Yeah I kind of fluffed around a bit on the one I lost. I had a chance there at one stage but I was slow at getting my net out when I had the chance then eventually the hook pulled, luckily just 2 casts later I made up for that.

Thanks Mark. Yeah a lot of the waters I fish are generally lower and I can see right through so personally for me I enjoy walking up river and fishing to a fish till I see a fish. But you are right. It is an overlooked method generally by many kiwi anglers. But on this occasion and in this particular stretch of water I found it necessary. 3 fish hooked in that same stretch within 15 minutes speaks volumes here.

Thanks buddy. Nothing really beats the back country in my opinion. Not just the fish you can catch, it just the whole experience that surrounds the fishing.

Sadly, I would agree. New camera, and it's a camcorder trying to turn it into a gopro by attaching it to my cap. It's suited for a tripod because its stabilization is average, but I feel the audio is far better than a gopro and has fewer technical issues than the GP. Watch my more recent videos. I've found ways to adjust with that camera, and it's better. I'm ordering a better quality one for next season, too.

Cheers mate 👊

Thank you there buddy. I'm glad you enjoyed the different style of footage. It was appropriate considering I'm showing the rod in action as such.

No worries, Neil. It's certainly a nice rod. It's always great to go back to these kinds of streams.

Thanks a lot as always Tony. Your comments are always appreciated

Indeed they are and indeed it did. Or maybe it liked me 😉

Glad you enjoyed it!

Any fish of that condition and in places like this with low flows I'll gladly take. Hopefully we get plenty of rain over the winter. The rivers badly need a good flush.

Yeah brother. Our season is almost done. 2 more weeks, actually a tad less. One more trip left in me yet, an over nighter. It's a pretty good rod. Lovely bend to it. It's a great presentation rod. It has enough power too to deal with the bigger waters, wind etc. I hope all is well with you..

@@HighcountryFlylife pretty good over here brother. Look forward to the next one brother.

No problem. It's been a bit of a common theme this season. We can ill afford a mild winter!

Thanks for the feed back and yes indeed it is a lovely rod the Sky G. I haven't tried any of the other models from Douglas just yet, but with the season rapidly disappearing. That will be for next season.

Cheers, Mark. It's an old favourite stream of mine where I used to go with my dad many moons ago. I thought I'd go back for a look, certainly low, but was much lower before the little bit of rain we had. But a couple of browns to the bank was enough for this particular trip. Yeah, this rod was from the Methven Flyshop, me local. It's most certainly growing on me this rod. I haven't taken it to the back country yet, maybe this week as time is running out.

yep shes been a dry season. The recent rain we did get has pretty much been soaked up already, not enough. I just hope we don't get a mild winter.

Thanks for watching buddy, much appreciated. The breaking strain I use on these lakes is 4lb tippet.

@17:37 It's almost like an auto bot phrase that rolls out of my tongue without any control by stating the obvious at times when in my own head I'm thinking that's the cast 😅 But when the camera is off I say nothing generally. I think it's more for commentary.. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks Mark. Yeah the rainbows here are quite pretty and clean fish. Not huge but there are the odd one of 5lb or so in some stretches. I may come back here but a different stretch later in the season. It's a good stream during autumn.

Thanks for watching, buddy, and the comment 👌

Thank you Tony. I'm glad you liked the video

Thank you kindly
