- I explain Trout Spey aka Micro Skagit while fishing the iconic Tongariro River in New Zealand. I cover everything you need to get setup up for trout spey (micro skagit), including types of skagit lines (from OPST), single and double handed rods as well as what spey casts and flies you need to get your first fish swinging streamers with your trout spey fishing setup.

Very enjoyable, straight-forward and understandable video.
That's awesome to hear, thank you very much
So informative very kind of you to share what you know! I really like how you take the time to explain things in simple words. That's quality teaching. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Great stuff mate, I have caught up with all your latest videos now, awesome to see your variety of fishing methods in Euro nymphing & Trout Spey Fishing.
I am really starting to enjoy variety on the river and using techniques in the right place. Looking forward to making up a versatile setup.
Thanks Johan, very informative
Thanks you
Trout are so beautiful I love the way they look and I feel so outdoorsy when you go out and fish them usually in the woods somewhere it’s most peaceful kind of fishing to me I love doing it I do it on my channel all the time probably one of my favourites even though bass just fight like hell I like fishing trout just as much or more😊
I agree, the places you fish for trout are normally just stunning. I have had loads of fun with Bass too though I spent a bit of time living in South Korea and fished for bass a lot. Fun when you hook them, especially on the surface.
Thanks for another great video man nice one!
Thanks Mark, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video mate, thanks for the great information really helpful 👏👍🇦🇺
That's excellent. Great to hear it was helpful. Tight lines.
Great video!
Thank you very much
Nice jacket! good explanation. It looks beautiful out there.
Thanks, it's lovely on this river and I love my Aquaz jacket and waders.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Great to know. We do our best to make great fishing apparels.
Nice , went to the OPST heads for my two handed rods some years ago and find I like Skagit lines better then Scandi it seems more versatile add a float tip to a Skagit almost a scandi . I use both . also have a 6wt single hand Skagit works really good . Thanks for the video
I have only really used skagit lines but definitely enjoy them. Have one for each of my rods.
Spey looks like fun man!
The casting is very pleasant and the hookups are awesome
Pretty cool way to fish man!
The casting is fun and the takes are hard. Pleasant way to fish indeed.
Hi, that last fish you hooked was a beauty, those pools you were fishing do produce some very nice fish but you don’t have them to yourself for very long! I tend to leave them to those who fish for kai moana. The huge improvements in rods and lines has changed the way we fish these days. In the “Old Days” we had big number 8 or 10 rods to fish the Tongariro, now I just use two of my #6 rods rigged up for nymphing and for wet fly fishing; that way I can nymph up river change to the swing rod and fish down river and cover all the spots. Your demonstrations of casting were pretty good and like everybody you will improve. The surprising thing you get on the swing is when you lift the rod at the end of the swing only to find that it has a huge fish on the end of the line! Cheers mate. Harera
Thanka Piere, yes I certainly am happy we can now fish easily with 6wt rods. So much more enjoyable. I have been enjoying nymphing up and swinging back but I don't like carrying two rods and in F&G areas your aren't allowed 2 rigged rods anyway so I just throw in a reel with the skagit setup and I am good to go. Tight lines.
Go for the Composite Developments TryCD combination. 6wt, 8wt, chuck in the one foot extender and the Spey handle attachment and you have all options covered for a days fishing without having to carry two rods.
@@brockljo sounds like an interesting rod. Will look it up thanks
Good video friend
Thank you
very nice video and i liked it and i am sube ❤ 🔥
Thanks for the sub, glad you liked it
Hey cool video thanks foe posting. That looks like the Trapper Ghost reel. How do you find it?
It is indeed the Traper ghost reel. Barrie from I Love Fly Fishing sells them at www.iloveflyfishing.kiwi if you have trouble with website just give him a call. Its best on a computer not a phone or tablet. We know the website is not great and that will be sorted soon.
Any recommendations on rod or size and wt of rod for a river like you are fishing above on Trout Spey? Thanks for video
For single handed on this size river I think a 9ft 6wt is a great option that can do both nymph and cast skagit lines. If you want double handed you can go lighter because the numbering is actually a bit different on them. Anything from a 11ft 3wt to the 11ft 5wt I used will work with switch/microskagit rods. Personally I like the OPST micro skagit rods, they are light and powerful. Saying that I have not used many other micro skagit/switch rods. The entry level one I use in the video works great too, it's just heavier and a bit slower. That's my personal rod I fish with most and like it. Hope that helps.
Great video! Do you happen o know where I can purchase that reel? I live in the US. Edit: Nevermind! Found it in the video! Thank you!
Thank, great to hear you enjoyed it and found the reel. Tight lines
The OPST smooth line for this #5 rod in the video, how much grain is it please?
I think it's 250gr but it's best to follow the charts on their website.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing oké, thanks.
What is the brand of rod and reel?
Unbranded here, but it's the same as the Maxcatch V-Switch I believe. The reel is Traper from Poland.
Man I thought that was a GLoomis NRX with the blue wraps and green pin strips.
Yeah I looked it up, it does look similar but the black on the Gloomis is darker.
que marca de caña usas
En este video es un V-Switch de www.iloveflyfishing.kiwi y también uso cañas OPST Micro Skagit.
