I wouldn't mind going walkabout right now. Perfect antidote to the current ocean of stress.
hey Scottie, Mate you have come along way but your technique needs improving ......when the trout is jumping out of the water, get your rod down and keep the line as tight as possible and pull the line in the opposite direction to where the fish is going. If the trout jumps to your rights, rod down and you get your rod to the left (opposite)..... the aim is to change the trout direction and prevent it from spitting the hooks upon its jump. If you pull the line hard over your head there is no tension between the lurer hooks and your line when the trout is out of the water.......... this is why your trout are spitting the hooks.... well done and keep the fishing for trout coming.... really enjoying it. Take care and all the best. P.s dropping low pressure and trout never works out too well !!
Good advice but if the fish has some weight to it lower your rod tip toward the fish when he jumps and then quickly tighten back up after the jump. A tight line will pull the lure/hook out when a heavy fish jumps.
@@BDCF100 He should of played it out in the middle of the stream more with the rod up ..Agree wih you.. its school boy stuff.... easy to say now after fifty years LOL
Thanks heaps for the tips mate. Appreciate it. There’s still a lot for me to learn, but I feel I’m slowly starting to improve. I’m fortunate to have subscribers like yourself who can give me some advice. Thanks mate
@@ScottysGoneWalkabout No worries.
Just lighten the drag and keep winding also the drag can run but you can keep tension. Lots of tricks, no1 advice is when it's sunny like that go drink beer instead 🤣
You have a great eye for the scenery and camera angles.
Set your drag a little lighter , let him run a bit a few times , wear him out them bring him in like a log. Good fishing !!
If there is one thing that breaks my spirits in the outdoors, it’s the wind. I can deal with snow, rain, blistering heat, but once it’s windy I’m done! Loved the video!
Know what you mean, I’m the same.
Walking with a backpack, fishing, cooking all the videos are so fantastic and beautiful. I'm glad to subscribe to your great channel. From Woongkham, a South Korean RUclipsr.
🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
You’re meals in the bush look better than my meals at home 😂
Hi Daniel, Yes I agree, (some people) here in uk. "Carlisle 195" "Kent Survival" "Armouredcockroach" ++ his buddies. As you say Their meals are Better than at Home. I Txt them if I could book a weekend. Lol Scotty Love the Vid's. Photog' Locations. Fishing HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa. Keep then coming buddy.
Just missing the trout that got away!
Thanks again Scotty. These videos of yours have meant so much to me, particularly this year. Your vids are the escape i yearn for. Thanks Mate.
Hey Scotty! a tip for your muesli. put a serving of muesli in your glad bag with the powdered milk in there also, then all you have to do is add water. all in one!
You can make sour cream. Buy the cream in a can and add some lemon juice to it. Its a great substitute.
3 cloth drawstring bags, easy to carry. find 3 rocks or sand at the site of filming. fill the tripod stabilizer drawsting bags and tie to your tripod in high wind situations. Just an idea.
What a "Blessed Land" You have to "Walkabout in Mate", "Amazing Country".
Man you have a great way of conveying natural and its sights and sounds on film 🔥👌🍝
The landscape is gorgeous and I love the bloopers in your videos, you just take it in stride. Looking forward to your next adventures in 2021. Thanks Scotty.
You can replace just the treble books on that life and use harder steel hooks. That was an epic trout! Long handled telescopic nets are nice for fishing steel banks, also. Good stuff again, as usual!
Love the videos keep up the great work and if u have any doubt know we all love u
Agreed
Great vids, love watching you scotty. 🥰
Tip on landing fish is a light drag on the reel and tire the fish out till it’s given up. Then you can gently pull them up on the bank. I’m loving your adventures. Thank you Scotty great filmography.
I always upgrade my trebles and o rings. Loosen your drag as it gets closer, play out a big fish more and as it comes to the bank walk backwards rather than attempt to pull it up the bank by hand. Great fish though. Great vid as well, as always
Thanks Scotty!
Your cinematography is stellar!
Great video Mate. No 3 Green and Gold Celtas never fail Mate. Been stream fishing 36 years and they catch the majority in running water.
Never grab the line.NEVER. Trout, they'll break your heart.
Keep the awesome vids coming.
Love the look of your Vegan dinner 😋😋😋! Another great video mate!
HI mate.... take of hooks from a shop bought lure.. to a kamasan or something of that ilk.
Use the wind to tour advantage cast down stream! and across, and fill your spool with 2 kilo line within 1.5 mm
of your spool edge.(for this stream)
Try taking of the first treble hook off and even replacing the last(TALE) with a single long shank 10 or 12.
Personally I would trot down a worm casting up and across and walking down 2 meters from the
bank!... the length of the pool with a pennel rigg size 14 or 12.
Tight lines

After 30 years trout fishing I have personally found a little celta lure with shiny blade to be the most deadliest lure
@@frank-uj8ve sure yes red & brass or red & silver; the celtas with reflective are even better. a small-medium celta with the reflective blade (red/gold/silver reflective) fished upstream will take a trout in every hole every time-better than the rapalas trout imitations I strongly believe.
What number ?
@@devono7230 I always like the bigger ones no 3 I think. I never had much luck on the smaller
Mines the good old rooster tail in rainbow pattern!
Also the mepps black fury. Ones with black blade and red/orange dots. Cast upstream and slow wind back with the rod tip down. Deadly
Awesome video Scotty. Never fail to capture the beauty of the landscape. Thank you for taking us along. ATB - Andy
just found your channel today . such a great series of adventures . cheers !
Cracker spot mate! Windy trips like these make the magical days even better. Have a great chrissy dude, thanks for the adventures✌🏽
Great fish ! Platypus ...... Super cool . Beautiful
Thanks for sharing Scotty
Love the vids. Fantastic music in the first part of this one.
Beautiful stream Love the granite boulders strewn around like marbles. Used to love fly-fishing these streams with my dad. My heart is in the high country.
Thoroughly enjoyed mate thank you
Love the background music mate. The ethereal hymns and chants are a really nice touch
Panther Martin black and yellow body gold blade, tiny but all around effective trout lure.
Not ever trip goes as planned, still very cool 🤠 remember Brown trout are ambush predators, and rainbow trout are their favorite here in the PNW. Tight lines brother 🤠
Just came across your channel earlier this morning. Been watching your videos since. Good way to spend a day not feeling well. Keep it up, brother.
Thanks for the awesome video! 🌀❤️🌀
Beautiful scenery. Nicely done.
This is therapeutic
What a beautiful place! I think outsiders, who have never been to Australia, have a certain image in their head's on what that country looks like, and then we get to see gorgeous scenery like this, and our mental image is completely changed.
Hey mate, your hooks were not the issue but the pressure you put on them.
I have landed multiple 50+ trout on similar or smaller hooks. Use your rod and drag to play the fish and most importantly don’t try and dead lift the fish with the line. 👌🏼
Have a great Christmas and see you in the new year.
Magical rocks! Thank you Scotty, always a treat. Take care. 😉👍🐟💙🇨🇦
Thanks for taking us to this beautiful country landscape mate. What a special place. Merry Xmas and go safe to all your viewers also.
Thanks again for a lovely video! Have a good festive break, looking forward to the New Years adventures.
👋from USA SC scottie, im new to your channel looking foward to new videos I've been catching up got a ways to go im sure ! your awesome thank you for taking me walkabout with you looking foward to more! epic 💙
Absolutely love your videos scotty and thank you so much for sharing these mate, have been following you on youtube for a while, awesome and please keep them coming! cheers and safe travels
Dont know if you can buy them in Australia but get a couple of Panther Martin's only lure you will need ! You want the ones with the black body and yellow dot with the gold spinner They come in 1/16th and 1/8th or 1/8th ounce. Brown trout here is the US love them as do Cutthroat Trout and rainbows. Any type of bass will take them as well pretty sure perch would too. AWESOME LURE. Good show, dinner was a little rugged but sure it did the job !
A really awesome video for the conditions you were in mate, good to get a glimpse of the jeep 👍👍. Cheers Shad.
Okay some tips for your thoughts fishing. The light gauge hooks on your favourite lure are not to small or light for the size fish your catching. Many brands like Daiwa Pressos for example have fine wire hooks. You just have to make sure you don't crash the barbs on these hooks and make sure you run super light drag. but still enough to set the hooks. The other thing is when using Rapala Countdown CD5s in RT and BT you can stand above the pool cast with the wind and wind against the current as long as the current is not too strong. You actually can catch alot of fish doing that but you don't walk along the pool you walk wide and start at the top. Alot of fish are gonna sit along the banks and undercut edges. so by running your lure slowly against the current and by repeating the cast many time you cause the trout to reaction strike the lure if they are not feeding. Believe it or not the majority of Trout we catch here in SA Are from Midday to 2pm and then 4pm till dark
It’s Great to see your country so Beautiful Happy Holidays to you Take Care till next year 👍👍
When you hook a fish and it's close to the bank and as you don't use a net, rather than trying to lift the fish in or hold the line to bring it in, just walk back a few steps until you bank it. I use this method when trout fishing or beach-casting.
Mate bloody great video engaging story and captivating cinematography 👍
Have a great Christmas, Scotty! I'm looking forward to watching your adventures in 2021!
Beautifully cinematic shots there. Really enjoyed it.
DONT STOP FISHING IT IS THE MOST ENETERTAINING PART OF ALL YOUR VIDEOS
Man I would love to fish that stream! Beautiful 😍
Diddent even know you guys had highlands as this
For a second i thought it was scotland. Beautiful 🥃
Congrats on 50k. Well deserved
Good one mate. Looking forward to your adventures in 2021
Hey Scotty, Absolutely loved the vids...Hoping that you have a fantastic Christmas and New Year and look forward to watching your adventures in 2021.
Top vid mate. Fishing and camping in wind is such a hassle!! But if you have planned the trip you still have to give it a go.
I've gotta Scotty, it's been such a pleasure watching your channel grow, and your videos with it. Scenery, cinematography, sound even, I love it. Keep on doing what you're doing, and enjoy it. :) Perfect contrast to December here in Norway, and a much needed 'comfort food' for thoughs all over the world I bet. Thanks again. ^^
You've got a new subscriber from Mexico, this is because I'm learning english and I want to get used to Australian accent. I think your videos are amazing! We'll done my folk!!! A huge congrats!!
In my opinion I think you tried to land him to soon back your drag off a little and let that fight last a little longer to tire him out a little more and in regards to the hooks on the lure just upgrade them I do to all my lures
I was gonna say something very similar
Merry Xmas to you and your family Scotty.
Can’t wait to see so much more of your vids in 2021. Should be an awesome year.
Great video as always Scotty. My friend and I were camping in the opposite direction in the same area at the same time (we were that Orange car that you must have seen). Fortunately, as you did, we read the forecast carefully, so chose to camp up a side creek between ridgelines to keep protected. From about 4 pm Saturday it was 5 hours of torential rain with wind from all directions. The next two days were completely unfishable. The skies cleared, but the wind howled down the valley at 50 to 80 km/h. Still, the best things in life are the worst at the time :). Love your work.
Oh no way mate! Yep I remember seeing your car. Glad to hear I made the right choice by bailing early. How did you go? Catch anything? Hopefully you had better luck than I did haha.
@@ScottysGoneWalkabout We persisted as an act of sufference until Monday. We did know it was coming though, so had a plastic tarp and a Silky to provide some structure to our Saturday evening misery. Good snow tents and even better clothing make all the difference. Fly fishing in that wind was a tad challenging, but my mate caught a few on lures. By the time I tried lures on Sunday they were blowing back in my face at a dangerous speed. You ended up doing better than me, but thanks to my friend, we had trout tacos and trout Thai stir fry Friday and Saturday nights. We resorted to Tofu red curry Sunday night unfortunately. As I said, the best things in life are the worst at the time. Saturday evening was certainly interesting. I've had far worse (better) :).
Thanks for your amazing cinematography, passion, and humble wide eyed wonderment. It brings joy to us and many more I'm sure.
Great trip Scotty! It was windy indeed, but it looked like a fun time just the same. Maybe you will find the right lure soon! HooRoo Mate!
Great vid mate, great shots. Felt like I was there with you. Love the Jeep too!
Thanks for sharing your adventures this year. Looking forward to more in 2021. Despite the wind, this one was still great. I was worried your hat was going to blow away there while you were packing up camp 🤣. Merry Christmas mate.
This is brilliant!
You could hike in natural yogurt without too much grief - tastes similar to sour cream and is great on avocado and beans. It can tolerate daytime temps for a whole day.
Scotty, next year you should try and organise a trip with some 100% aboriginal people and do a vid based on how they survive in the bush. You seem to have a connection with the land and show appreciation towards the aboriginal culture. I reckon you'd love it and your audience would learn heaps of good bush skills as well. Just my 2 bobs worth. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year.
G day thar scotty hope all is well and okay mate nice video it was a shame about the weather you was having have a good time over Christmas and the new year and hopefully catch up soon with you mate take care stay safe
We’ll get him into fly fishing yet!!! Another one bitten by the allure of the ever crafty trout… :)
Was in the area just a few weeks back and had no bites at all..but it is such a cool place and river is awesome.
Hah, I was just thinking its almost March Fly season down there, then you got a shot of one. Great vid, Scott. Always love the laid back vibe. If the wind direction is fairly consistent, try to make sure the base of the triangle formed by the tripod legs is facing the wind, it will be more stable (like bracing your leg behind you). it's hard if the wind is changing direction frequently though. Or if your tripod has a hook underneath, hang a bag of rocks from it.
Hi Scotty a little tip mate always upgrade your hooks because a lot of cheaper light weight lures have hooks that are not up to the job also in windy conditions like that with floating lures I like to cast down stream let the lure drift down 20 or so metres then slowly retrieve along the undercut banks the results can be worth the effort but keep a low profile when you do this love the vids mate ,keep them coming
Thank you Scotty for what you do. fantastic location. I was just thinking, it would be funny if you and Chris Bamman crossed paths in your video's, and just sort of didnt say a word, but nod at each other from different sides of the river or creek. and then continue on your merry way.
Congrats on 50K subs! I've been here since about 4k all the best buddy!
Cheers mate and thanks for your continued support 👍
well i can believe that Scotty. Never grab your line while the trout is still fighting hard. Sorry to be a knowall but Ive caught and lost a lot of trout and i was enjoying your little stream and when your hand went out to tje line while the fish was somersaulting i almost shouted to you in my phone!
Love your little camp trips and artistic eye for a camera angle. Same sort of camping I like and my son who makes these vids too, in Taiwan. You would get on real well with James. I woll make another comment and share his link to you.
Cheers cobba 👍
Nice video
Great video, shame about the weather and missing the fish (Joe`s right)but that`s fishing. And you DO have a great eye for photography.
I`m really enjoying your videos .
Hey Scotty, bad luck on the fish. Small tip. Never grab the line and try and drag them in. That’s what your rod is for. Walk backwards if you have to but use your rod to get the fish on the bank if you don’t have a landing net.
That was a cracker brownie, you took it better than me🤣, looked to be over or on a kilo, as you said pays to have a landing net! Guess back packing and dragging it around could be a pain! Awesome video bud!!😍
Hi from Scotland 🏴. Loving your vids, in my experience fishing in streams such as that I would use a fly rod, I think you would have more success. It’s a little more technical but once you land your first trout on the fly you will never go back. Good luck 🤞 but you’d definitely need calmer weather.
Great place up there, good video work too thanks. Need to get back there soon.
Yeah, hooks only bent i think cause you took the give out of the line-tip. Try to avoid lifting up on either. When we were learning good to get the tip down in one of the lower sections on bank with you off to one side and just drag to fish up the bank. Keep tension on line with the rod holding it same as normal. Trout give up quick once on their side.
Love the BWHs video. You walked right past a rippa wild cave that goes straight through the mountain
See what you think of the Murrumbidgee River, walk from Tantangra cabins
Cheers
Hey mate
When you grab the line like that it takes away the flex the rod offers. It's probably why he straightened the hook.
Better luck next time!
Love watching you videos... Bit hard for me to get out in the bush atm but you make me feel like im along side watching. Keep them coming and my only tip. Buy a metal detector, the places you go, the things you would find.😉👋
I see that most of the time you throw your lure upstream over al the fish that facing that way. Try to approach them fishing downstream . Start nearby and fish in a fan shape way longer out. You scare the fish less this way! Greeting Steven tide lines.
Bad luck on that brown, Scotty. Good advice on drag direction from others here.
I don't know that specific area, but by the looks of it, I'm pretty sure I could put you within 20km of where it is. Those boulder fields and the burn scars give a lot away.
More and more, I love the mindset of your work - you're living the way we all should try to.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Check you in 21!
Love the vid mate! Keep that rod tip high, making sure those hooks stay set. That looked like a cracker of a fish!
^^^^yes this^^^ Rod up high!
Scotty - love the video and the countryside. I still gotta know where the hats from though. It’s awesome.
Thanks mate. The hat is an Akubra Banjo Paterson 👍
Bummer the wind smacked your csmera. At least the filter protected the lens. Hope you have better conditions next time. Looks like an awesome place to camp and fish
Swap all your hooks out for Decoys, Size 14 or whatever is closest. Don't go bigger it will mess with the balance and action of the lure. If you run good quality Japanese hooks, you won't need to go larger in size.
Decoy and Owner are the best two brands out of the readily available brands in most tackle shops for the small & fine hooks you will be after for lures for trout.
I always swap the hooks out for quality ones before even casting them if they are of unknown quality. Hooks are a good way for lure companies to save money, so often they run poor quality ones.
Great video ! I have subscribed to your channel !
For years I've been saying the world needs UHT sour cream!
Have a merry Christmas bro
