"Allowing the right time to explore, allows us to soak in and be present for, what we're present for." I love this quote Dave! It really is true and it is a good reminder that no matter what our passions are sometimes taking a break is every bit as important to success as putting in the work. When we do what we love, we need to be 100% or we are cutting ourselves short. I think all athletes understand this.
There is so much value in presence and appreciation/ understanding of it. It's distinctly different for each of us, of course. But finding that place in our minds and souls and allowing it... is important :)
This is a masterpiece. No doubt one of the best fly fishing videos i have seen to date. The surroundings, editing, and speech is all absolutely flawless.
I love the cinematography. You learn a lot from seeing how the trout reacts to the fly. Not to mention the epic scenery. I get a kick out of Amelia’s excitement, can’t help but smile. Great team.
Glad you really enjoyed that one! This was an incredibly special moment in our lives, and one that will stick with me for life. Quite spiritual in a lot of ways. AJ here and ya, I might get rather "into it" in a few spots, but I can't help but be me. Good to hear it's not a put off to at least a couple people who watch!😉
Ha !! ... "BEEP" language coming from Amelia ??!! Good, makes her more real to me. You guys are the only trout-on-fly people I watch on RUclips. Always great content.
NOPE!!! The fish we saw are the fish that are there. There are no others. Cloudy skies would absolutely kill your chances of seeing them, slow you down to waiting for a rise, and ensure that you would walk on/spook the few fish that you did find (aka see a dark smudge bolting for cover). Bright sun helps you see them in this situation and preclude the above to let you know what you are dealing with. These are the scenarios that people that aren't used to these situations (aka our friend Tom) aren't referencing when they speak of cloudy days and the exceptional hatches that can occur. It takes some getting your head around it but these situations are keenly distinct and different. Cheers
@@jensenflyfishing Oh don't get me wrong, I'm sure the sight fishing is at its best with the sun at that angle. I was talking more about aesthetics and mood of the valley itself! I just love fishing in the mountains when there's a bit of rain. But you're absolutely right, for actually catching the fish it's perfect.
@@Hrogthar :) Beauty comes in so many forms - and those timelapse rolls at the end of the video speak to beginning to touch on how those valleys feel on calm, drizzly days where timelapses are dramatic but have to be shot over 45 minutes to show the fog & cloud rolls. :) Gorgeous in so many of their personalities :)
Dave and Amelia, I can't begin to tell you how wonderful this was. Your point of the unknown being a wonderful thing is so true. I was injured in a freak accident this summer and now 6 months later I'm finding out I have some very serious underlying health issues. I pray I can get back out in the beauty of nature and to some new water waiting to be discovered. In the meantime, I'll live my dreams vicariously through your beautiful work. Thank you so much. 😀👍
Once we realize that we can say we're starting to understand the bigger picture and that begins to respect life more. To your situation... that's a large part of why we are sharing now. This world has so many people from so many walks of life in need of scenes like this. A mental escape for whatever reason. And we never know what tomorrow brings ourselves so better to let our light shine as we can. Hope your situation allows you to take life on in some way in the not too distant future and that your mind accepts the challenge and wills the body... even for a day, week, summer or whatever it can drum up the energy & will toward! 😍🍻
@@jensenflyfishing Thank you. I'm certainly praying I'm able to get back out, that's the plan. My wife and I should find out Moday, December 18th if that's in God's plan. In the meantime, I'll keep watching and enjoying your wonderful work.👍😀
Thank you. It was an amazing couple of days with just a stunning weather window. :) And while 2020 has been tough it has given us time to finally edit and share some of our experiences the past few years. :)
I was thinking the same thing, in my opinion the editing on this video is some of the best yet. Dave, I'm guessing you're not able to visit NZ for a while due to border restrictions?
Thanks and appreciate that. No we can't travel there this year so we're here editing and snowshoeing our way through winter in our home town of pincher creek Alberta. Loving finally having the chance to get to editing this. 😍🍻🤯
What a cool video. You two are becoming my favorite videos to watch. You can tell your both very exspenced fisher men( and fisherlady ). It's cool to see people have respect for our God given creature's. I'll keep one to eat now and then. But it's so cool to see the fish handled properly, and released. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks Randy! We appreciate hearing that. We have certainly put a lot of time through the years into this sport and it helps that we know each other well and want so badly for the other to succeed. It's definitely all about fish first for us, so the opportunity to experience that fish again remains intact for others.
Quite honestly the best fly fishing video I've ever seen. The scenery was incredible, her smile made the joy tangible, and the angling skill was obvious from both of you. I got goose bumps when she talked of his being in the zone and the fish being aerial. Simply awesome
Wow, thank you! We sincerely appreciate such a huge compliment to our work. We do live and breath fly fishing and when magic unfolds before our eyes we get enmeshed to that moment, and sharing it so that others can live vicariously is an added benefit. Thanks so much for taking the time to share what you did here. 🙂
There is that for sure but... not a lot of movement thebrod aside and knowing that wind chop covered things knew we'd be ok. You get a good sense of what fish will tolerate what and we weren't too worried about that given how friendly the others had been 😊🍻
Glad you picked up on that! Amazingly lucky shot to get that in tight and focus... while it's rough in the moment to see that kind of shot in video is so incredible 🤯🍻
Just beautiful, stuff of dreams. What a magical place to fish. One day when we can travel again. Thank you for sharing helps with the covid lockdown blues
Yes, here's hoping that our traveling days come sooner than later. Glad this connected for you and can help you escape those blues a while. Hang in there🙂
Nailed it! I love the way you both capture fly fishing. The way you capture the visual side while telling a story of each fish and pulling it all together with the angler’s experience is next level. So many times I’ll experience something while fishing and wish I could share that moment. You guys do exactly that. Love your work!
That's awesome to hear that you connect with our style in how we share. For us it just has to have a story, or something of value whether in the beauty or in sharing a "how to" or tip or tactic that can enhance the viewer's experience in some way. We appreciate you taking the time to watch. 🙂
It's a good hike unless you stop in to get access. Even at that we almost buried the Delica in mud soup coming across that upper gravel fan on the way in after a major front 🤯
You would have loved to have been with us this day... the smacking and popping sound of the first rainbow's mouth on mayflies and caddis was amazing. 😊👍👌
Absolutely beautiful! Incredible footage, delicate fishing and it all came together so well! Thank you for the relaxing and dream inspiring film. Cheers from Texas!
Absolute nirvana in a Disneyland of rainbow trout. Thank you for sharing this beauty that I hope someday to experience. During a pandemic year I must enjoy this through your lenses. Keep it up!!! Cheers and tight lines
That's why we're doing this now... it's cathartic for us in sheer escapism in editing and reliving the moments... and we know it's doing somewhat the same for others. Just a joy of how amazing that experience was. 😊❤🍻
I really miss New Zealand. It’s the perfect fishing and hunting destination. The perfect environment for outdoor activities. No predators, snakes, or things that go bump in the night. Except in the upper elevations where Keas live.
I thought bright blue shirts only worked on brown trout ? So love your videos and Amelia’s narration this time around so was so lovely....and spot on....
Stunningly filmed and inspiring as I am sitting here tying up size 14 flashback pheasant tails for my next trip to the backcountry. Unfortunately I live in the North Island, not the south but still am lucky to have access to endless stunning rivers. This has inspired met to make the trip South early next year. Just have to do it.
The south has its charm for sure but this was the year we planned on staying a little longer and splitting it to the n isl finally. We'll see if we can get to do that next year. 🤞 Hope your season is a great one!
@@jensenflyfishing Hope the borders are open for you next year. The NI is different but certainly has some great rivers and streams. My last trip went well. Some good browns and a PB rainbow. Not your level of production but I do what I can on my own. Would love some feedback if you have the time and if you ever need a second camera when you are back I would gladly do some filming for you. Tight lines. Johan
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing was just looking at that latest video. And yeah, the N Isl is on our want list as it just has a different vibe... :) Re: video work... never to compare! There are two of us and a different set of parameters to what we do. Honestly we're set to do more with the GoPro all mic'd up as to do more real-time, real-life instructional stuff so we're heading more your direction. :) The only thing separating what we do is a second person and the GH5 with various Oly lenses and the TIME to hone in on THAT fish and soak it all in. It's kind of like fly fishing itself, the differences are minimal but having the time and a second person working as a unit compound what can be done. So, keep doing as you are and enjoy it and just share as you are, as you go. Heaps of value in it. :)
There are a number of truly stunning places you'll find yourself in when you get a chance to visit that country. What a great thing to look forward to with your son and glad we could wet your appetite with a bit of beauty we've captured there.
@@jensenflyfishing I love your videos and the fishing you've shown has been epic..I really enjoy watching the two of you enjoy the sport as much as you do.
@@Highrockman :) great to hear. It's fun sharing online as it brings what we love on two fronts - the camera work and the fishing - together for people to see. It's neat. :)
There's no question the magic poured into those few days, but you would know the kind of "feel it in your bones' beauty your country has to offer. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
Beautiful scenery and your editing is wonderful. I learn something from every one of your videos. More than just what you talk about. You pay such close attention to the small details, and it truly pays off. Thank you both. I don’t know which would be more satisfying. Fishing and catching fish in some of the most beautiful places in the world, or the videos that you produce.
😊🍻 all great to hear. At this point it is a wonderful meshing between rod and camera and just being able to weave it together here. Just glad to finally have time to do some catching up in life to share here! 😊👌🍻
Awesome video you guy’s. Thanks for sharing with us all. Thanks for the helpful information and tips. Happy holidays and can’t wait to see what you both will share with us. Best Regards from West Virginia, Ken
Thank you Ken. It's been a good winter for editing and sorting through all sorts of footage we've not been able to get to until now. Have a great Christmas season :)
Way cool!! Incredible camera work from both of you. I did hear the subtle lesson about waiting to visit Nirvana and then returning there. I guess it's okay to do but be prepared for things not being as good as you remember. I'm going back to one of my places next summer. Thanks again.
That's exactly it. Leave it to the mind's eye... it's beautiful there. The one thing we've learned through the years of fishing, enjoy it now as things are always changing... it may be amazing again but will always be different in different circumstance. Best to you in your return visit! ❤🍻😍
I love the principle of saving those best days in the mind and not rushing back for a while. I buy that except for when there is unfinished business to attend to. I had one of those great days last week and would not normally hurry back but I have a hankering to try again on a massive brown that destroyed me on a power run for a log. I’d lost my 3x spool so was going 4x which seemed reasonable handling the other big fish. This fish hit the parachute Adam’s in a shallow riffle and as soon as I tightened it burned me on its run. I reckon 2x might have had a chance. I want to have another crack soon as it interferes with my sleep!
Yeah, bugger! Not for you but for us... the season after the epic noise year was set to be extremely good dry fly for huge, willing fish and we can't get there. 😥😫😭😰🤬 ah, all in time. Keep having a great season! 🍻
@@adamchristo3082 depends on how you fish - we fish by moving into position and doing shorter casts - hence, we need the flex feel of the F so we can feel the rod load when using little fly line with longer leaders.
Was you using barbless hooks? Excuse my oversight if all you use is barbless. I just was wondering if you do how do the fish stay on in the jumps? Thanks for sharing.
The frame rate of the video does funny things to video - actual speed is 6x faster than what you are seeing so if it looks like there is slack line - it is literally a split-second here or there and there is far more tension than what appears. We fish a mixture depending on hook size so not sure which were or weren't. The best jumpers in these scenes certainly were as we tackled them with light & small flies. Cheers

That's sweet to hear and glad you really liked that. A couple days that meant the world to us🙂
masterpiece. a fly fisherman can truly understand this
We absolutely adored our time there :) Moments that last a lifetime to be sure :)
Your videos are what fishers around the worl dream of, absolutely incredible
Providing that escape into such beauty is what we love to do for others.😊

Sheer poetry! Thank you for sharing this. It’s been a tough year and you reminded us that magic still happens on God’s green earth. Peace.
It does! In year's like this we have to go out of our way to remind ourselves of that. 😊😍🍻
What a treasure. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
that valley... :) :)
Truly heavenly. Kind of a dream trip.
We all have those moments where life just seems so much more vivid. The world is incredibly wonderful right then :)

HA! Yeah, when you're intense you let fly once in a while! ;) :) Great you enjoy our little world here on the Tube!
Blue skies are amazing, but as Mr. Rosenbauer says, a tiny bit of rain and heavy clouds would make that valley river something to behold.
NOPE!!! The fish we saw are the fish that are there. There are no others.

Us too. It's going to be close as to whether borders open before March 2022 by the sounds of things. Hoping! 🤞
Spettacolare 👍👍
Thank you! Truly a place we loved.
BRAVOOO....
⚘⚘⚘⚘
😎😍 Thanks for watching!
Wow😍
Gorgeous spot in life! :)
You’re a lucky guy!
Yes we are. A bit of work in keeping 'us' going but so very worth it 😊❤
If you’d like to adopt a 58 yr old disabled veteran for 3 months of NZ fishing, I have the time. Love watching your adventures.
Would live to but even we can't get in the ctry this year! 😭
18 foot leader blew my mind haha
Definitely has its place! 😊👌
I love the principle of saving those best days in the mind and not rushing back for a while. I buy that except for when there is unfinished business to attend to. I had one of those great days last week and would not normally hurry back but I have a hankering to try again on a massive brown that destroyed me on a power run for a log. I’d lost my 3x spool so was going 4x which seemed reasonable handling the other big fish. This fish hit the parachute Adam’s in a shallow riffle and as soon as I tightened it burned me on its run. I reckon 2x might have had a chance. I want to have another crack soon as it interferes with my sleep!
Yeah, bugger! Not for you but for us... the season after the epic noise year was set to be extremely good dry fly for huge, willing fish and we can't get there. 😥😫😭😰🤬 ah, all in time. Keep having a great season! 🍻
Super
Thank you
Beautiful film work and art in motion. Thank you! What kind of landing net is that?
That's a MacLean's trout weight net from New Zealand. There are a couple N American distributors as well. Cheers
where is this?
South Island of New Zealand.
Stunning landscape. Curious if you're fishing on private or public land?
That's public land accessed through a long-time station house down valley.
Simply love you films and this is one of the best,
May I ask what model and weight Orvis rod you prefer in such conditions?
That's really great to hear. An incredibly special few days for us in that video.
We use a H3F 5wt for most of our fishing.
Would not the H3D be better suited in those windy valleys?
@@adamchristo3082 depends on how you fish - we fish by moving into position and doing shorter casts - hence, we need the flex feel of the F so we can feel the rod load when using little fly line with longer leaders.
Was you using barbless hooks? Excuse my oversight if all you use is barbless. I just was wondering if you do how do the fish stay on in the jumps? Thanks for sharing.
The frame rate of the video does funny things to video - actual speed is 6x faster than what you are seeing so if it looks like there is slack line - it is literally a split-second here or there and there is far more tension than what appears. We fish a mixture depending on hook size so not sure which were or weren't. The best jumpers in these scenes certainly were as we tackled them with light & small flies. Cheers
What weight and length fly rod were you doing
Helios 3F - 9 ft 5 wt

Best little creeks 😊👍
Was this recent?
As we mention in the video, several years ago. 🍻
Great video but the music was brutal!
Terrible music... just terrible. I mean, it had feeling, and goodness knows we can't share that! 😉🤣😱🍻
Love those Rainbows, love that footage.
Absolutely stunner place to 'be'. Could watch rainbows pop in that water all day (or even 2 days!) 😍😊
