Catching trout on BFS is a long dream of mine. Hope when I go to New Zealand one day, the trouts will be as big as the ones you've caught.
Cheers mate yeah get here
@@TroutHuntingNZ When the borders open, I will. 😭
Hey mate great video i went there for 2 days and landed a huge 20lb rainbow ( jack ) on the fly after a 20min fight i got it a fish of a lifetime and like you guys i released it thanks to simms and hardy for the excellent gear . i was using a 9,6 # 7 w hardy jet paired up with a hardy 6000 asr . I will hopefully meet you on the water sometime tight lines cheers :))
Cheers mate
If only there was rivers full of bigs like that here in Missouri. One day I’ll make it out there
Cheers mate
Amazing River, this is on my bucket list now! I need to fish with you. :)
Cheers mate come on over
Dude! You make this look so easy, love watching your channel , me and a mate round turangi on Easter if ya wanna do an episode of helping some dudes out, 😂we got all the gear with probably no idea🤣
Amazing mind blowing stuff!
Cheers

Cheers mate
@@TroutHuntingNZ Chur!!
Holy Mary mother of God these bows are massive man🤯🤯
Cheers 🤙
Man I would love to come visit New Zealand!
Great video!!! Slabs for fish. Tight lines!
Cheers bud
Awesome video man love the content ! 🤙🏻
Thanks dude 🤙
Sweet Geezuz! That's insane
Yep
Magnifique, j'adore cette pêche
Denis
Epic indeed...Thank You
Thanks mate
Awesome video. I wish I knew about this river when I was down there. I think I fished it once but usual just drove right past it. Bugger
Yeah it’s pretty small window to find these fish but worth a look
Maate that's not fishing, it is monster catching! Waiting for part 2 with baited breath.
Hahah cheers mate
キレイなニジマスやなぁ〜✨
こんなんやったらみんな持っていんで3枚におろして食てまうで🤤👍✨
Sweet Jesus. Sign me up!
Done
I always bring two sets of clothes for when I inadvertently go swimming. I have had some epic ones too. Those fish, I can only dream. I like rainbows because they jump so much. Much respect and admiration. I call those type of fish river pigs. We have cutthroat here in Idaho as well as rainbow and they cross which makes a hybrid cuttbow, which rival those but not as massive. Great vid, loved the dunk because I do it too, river dancing!
Yeah it’s a good idea. Cheers mate I appreciate it
Amazing. Waiting for part2 , your friends also catch similar amount like you ? Or your experience make the difference
Yeah they got a couple each
Epic man, wow !
Cheers
Beautiful pics !
Thanks
Epic Fishing insane! Tight Lines!!
Cheers mate
Farrr bro that's a mean backyard and
Yeah not bad
I got relatives in South Island .....I wonder if they will put me up for week, this is awesome fishing
Yeah it’s epic. Go for it
Excellent.
Thanks mate
Giants dude. 💪💪💪
Cheers 🤙
Can't wait for part 2.
@@YSOSERIOUS596 it just went live
Don't tell anyone where this river is mate. Epic video once again
Thanks heaps 🤙
yea man i agree
With some hints from comments and Google Earth I think I’ve nailed down where you are. Certain landmarks give it away. No worries mate. My lips are sealed. Nice videos by the way.
Hi Guys. Awesome fish. Please share some info on the equipment you are using. Rod weight? Leader weight? size flies? Here in South Africa we, I, fish in our drakensberg streams for browns and rainbows. Our fish are much smaller than your beasts but we still have great fun. I fish a 9ft, 3 weight T&T. Mostly upsteam Nymphing. Our rivers are small and fast flowing so I use a 9 ft 4X tapered leader onto Cortland 555 Floating line. we use Zak nymphs, flashbacks, GRHE and other imitation flies that are tiny in most cases. Great video...look forward to your response.
"Dude Thats Huge". ummm They all Huge! ....MEGA Trout! Enjoyed the video. Nice edit/music
Those fish are insane man!! You won’t see anything like that here in Oklahoma 🤣
Cheers mate
This might be a dumb question but because bows and browns are native to the northern hemisphere do they spawn during the inverse season in NZ or have they adapted to still spawn in spring and fall respectively?
Yeah the spawn over the Southern Hemispheres winter 🤙
Using bugs or beads for those lunkers?
Greetings from the PNW! I lived on the South Island for a year as a kid. I caught a few nice trout but was more into being a kid then fishing. I need to go back and hook up on one of these monsters! Nice catches, tight lines!
The Piscatorian
Cheers mate yeah come back
lets go couldnt wait
Love it
Twizle is probably the only place in new Zealand if not the world were you can catch trout that big. Zen cray court big trout when they were running up the rivers from taupo back in the day but I don't think they were this big.
You can definitely tell that river has a lot of alpine runoff, I mean look at that colour!
Yeah lots of snow melt
Far out,looks like Patagonia they are so huge
Cheers
Insane video great stuff my guy! What do these tank New Zealand trout eat???
Cheers mate. I’m not 100% sure what they eat must be good stuff tho
What the heck are these fish eating to get this huge…..unbelievable!
Cheers mate and I’m not really sure. It must be good stuff tho
Hi, I'm from Chilean Patagonia, and the season is about to start and the rainbow trout are in the rivers. I am new to fishing and I wanted to know what number of leader and tippet do you use? Cheers
6lb leader and tipit
What's in the rivers of NZ that bows grow that big?!? Good vid
🤷♂️
Hey man I’m new to fly fishing how do you know when you get a s a strike without a bobber
Chalk up another great video.....
Cheers
Wow!!!
Yeah Wow
Wow! Do these fish come in from the ocean or a lake? What is their story? Just wondering, such a cool place!
From a lake. Cheers
What are the regulations on the fish? Is it catch and release only? Just curious.
I would love to come over and swing or centerline that place.
Swing goes good 👍
Love the video as always, but five rounds of adverts by the time I'm seven minutes in - is that normal? Slightly painful
No that sounds like a lot. I don’t control the ads sorry I just allow ads.
are those simms Freestones? if so how do you like them and how have they been holding up? I'm looking to get a pair of simms and I'm torn between going the super expensive route and getting the g3s or the g4s or going with the more affordable Freestones. thanks man awesome video !!!
I love them I go through a pair a year sometimes 2 . But paying more for the G3’s or 4s don’t make them last longer. Best most comfortable waders I have worn
Man those trout are big and fat and you caught heaps. I will definitely have to go and try this some day.
Do it 🤙
Sick video, some big hawgs. What's the purpose of the gaitor around the wrist, I see trippin on trout wearing one there a lot.
I have no idea. No reason cheers mate
for new season
Chur
That looks like an awesome time on the river for sure! What size line and rod are you running when fishing for those?
6wt and 6lb
What do these fish eat that allows them to grow so huge?
Bugs and bait fish I assume
Awesome vid what size leaders do you use on these monsters
6lb cheers
Awesome Gareth. What weight rod are you using for these monsters
Hi Ken. 6wt rod
Sorry dude, I watch most of your stuff on a tv that has no options to like or comment etc. you do good shit keep
It up. And hopefully the tv will pick up soon so I don’t have to get the old phone out to like your vids!!!
Cheers for taking the time to login and comment I really appreciate it.
🤙
Boy floss that pocket it's the trick
Jelly
Epic bro, Interesting to see how big that fish is!!!! I flicked you a message though your Facebook page about a mission i'm sussing out bro
Cheers mate I have a look for your message. Think I missed it.
Fished the river yesterday an didn't see any big fish ☹ think they got a bit pressured.
Na there still there. Just not every where
Hi Gareth. Are you still using eggs there?
Eggs or natruls work
Solid work Trout Munter!
You're a difficult man to fish beside though, hahaha
Hahahahaha. Your a good net man to have a round 😂
Good 👍👍
👍 good
Holy crapodopolis! How do you go back to fishing for 5 pounders on the North Island after this?
Yeah tough going for sure
Whaaaaaaa? Is there a nuclear powerplant upstream? Those are mutant rainbows.
I wonder how many are planning a trip to NZ thinking every stream has trout like this in it.
Hahaha
Hi you should fish for brown trout
I caught 5 today
Why do you guys keep your rods high when fighting a fish? When I was first learning, I was always told "side pressure is max pressure". Is this wrong?
Well. When the fish is far away a high rod is still side pressure. But the main reason is this river has big rocks and holes. A low rod angle means more chance of a fish finding something to break you off on.
@@TroutHuntingNZ ahhh ok. I see. I guess I didn't ever think of it as if the fish was far away. I don't fish rivers this big, obviously. Lol.
Are these trout escaped from the pen farms? Are they triploids?
Wild fish
Why are they so much bigger down the south island?
Just the environment
What wt rod is that?
6wt
Amazing!!! What size tippet and flies do u use if I may ask?
6lb tippet and size 16-10 flies
Where is this?
New Zealand
@@TroutHuntingNZ wow truly amazing
@@TroutHuntingNZ keep doing what your doing 👍🏼
THIS is why I buy lottery tickets......
Me to
What river is this?
A very good one.
What in the hell are you feeding those trout down there man? Those fish look like they weigh more than my kid!
Yeah not sure but it makes the grow what ever it is.
