Mike and Nans, I never get tired of watching and rewatching all your super HD videos. I will always cherish my Feb 2020 fishing trip in Nelson and fully plan to come back for a longer outing next time.
nice mate, there's certainly some beautiful rivers up your part of the south Island, crystal clear water that one and not a bad fish you caught at around the 16:30 minute mark.
fantastic! really enjoyed watching it...NZ has a such a landscape, clean waters, amazing nature and heritage. Its something that I, as European murky waters pike hunter, would die for ;) wish I get a chance to visit, nice video mate
Great footage Mike, stunning scenery and some truly thumping trout... Though mixed emotions watching this as only problem is, I'm stuck on the other side of the World!!!
Fantastic video, as always, Mike!! I'm watching 'em all, and can't wait to get down there to fish with you! Do you recall what month that this trip was? Thanks for all the wonderful things you do to promote the great sport in NZ! Makes us all jealous, for sure!
good job man! Unfortunatly we dont have any river in my country to be like this... however we have a river with big rainbow trout! I think that you would like nestos the name of the river in my village ..
Great stuff as always Mike. Just got around to watching this. Did you get a new camera? Quality looks better. Not that it was bad before but this film quality is outstanding! Look forward to getting some footage in October...
mikefsher would you mind sharing the name of the backpack you wear at the first part of the movie...it had some nice front pouches, not sure if you were wearing a chest pack with a backpack or just the backpack! Thanks!
Very nice video! It looks like Anton has accustomed to the sandflies on his hand while holding the last fish haha Btw, couldn't an eel bite off a finger? cheers Tom
Oh I see, so it's just a slightly thicker/heavier length of line. I use a meter of about 40lb line after my fly line for that, and then taper it down from 10 to 5 or 4. works well.
Riiiight... Trout here in NZ feed predominantly sub surface (about 80%) so an enlightened angler will recognize what a sighted trout is doing and use the appropriate technique... not rocket science is it?. Although someone who has to abbreviate 'why are you' to Y R U - is certainly not a rocket scientist, and further to that, probably uncivilized...

8.46 - "Snap!" Never seen the Longfin darkside before this. Yikes, will be giving them a wider berth next season!
tim3854 Yeah Tim - don't make them angry, you won't like them when they're angry...
Nice little fight with that first fish:)

Otra vez muy buena pesca
Which beat is this mike? Awesome video. Loved it.
Adnan Karnai which beat?
Great stuff buddy, music was a nice fit too... have to ask though, why the net? Could you have "not just grabbed them by hand"?!.. ;)
troutboynz Yeah i would just tail them if i was a legend. Sadly not though ;-) Cheers though Andrew - more to come in due course
troutboynz come do some fishing in taumarunui its ok ive been getting into fly fishing hard hope to see some good videos
mikefsher would you mind sharing the name of the backpack you wear at the first part of the movie...it had some nice front pouches, not sure if you were wearing a chest pack with a backpack or just the backpack! Thanks!
TrackMFour It's an Erblestock hunting pack - about 50L from memory.
+mikefsher the man, the myth, the LEGEND! Great video buddy
Awesome fish! What kind of net is that you guys have?
What weight rod are you using on these big trout?
Very nice video!
It looks like Anton has accustomed to the sandflies on his hand while holding the last fish haha
Btw, couldn't an eel bite off a finger?
cheers Tom
whats a good website to buy flies
and what type of flies you recommend for fishing for trout salmon and slealhead
i can sort some trout flies for you - just contact me - mike@latitudeguiding.com
Absolute beasts. I'm from the states and we do not have fish like that here at all. How can I contact you about possibly booking a trip?
Love the music and fishing, do you mind telling me who is playing the music?
+Robert Schaffer It IS great music and if you look in the clip description above you'll find all the info you need on it
What was that bright stretch of line on the top end of your leader?
Its the top end of a leader system i've devised for spooky fish
you use it instead of an indicator?
Kiwi Fisher nah - just to smooth out turnover
Oh I see, so it's just a slightly thicker/heavier length of line. I use a meter of about 40lb line after my fly line for that, and then taper it down from 10 to 5 or 4. works well.
Kiwi Fisher something like that, yeah
What kind of fish was that, that came up to your net at 9 minutes?
Eel
+Alcan196 NZ long finned Eel
Where is this ? it looks beatiful.
+Jonas jakobsens1 its the southern tip of china
+Ryan Burgess Good on ya mate!
Maybe Shotover river ? :)
Mr. Chigurh at Work :-)
Kresten Ovesen No-one else would get that one :-)
Sweet! What rod do you use?
Davis Clark Scott Radians are my weapon of choice. Most of my regular clients too for that matter
This is a great video man. About how long do you usually spend out on the river on average each day?
+360Linky Thanks! It varies depending on whether i'm guiding or not and time of year, but maybe 8 hours would be about average.

Why do you not weigh your fish,aren't you curious?I know I am as a viewer
でかい！！ぼくも釣りたい！！
Hi Mike, just sent you an email, looking to setup a trip in 2016. Cheers! Charlie
Charlie Palmer Thanks Charlie - i'll mail you back
