Belly Boat (Float Tube) Fly Fishing for Trout
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- It's belly boat (aka float tube) time and we are fly fishing for trout on a tributary of a local lake. It's my first time belly boating and what a scenic spot to do it in. We caught plenty of rainbow trout on our way upstream but I had no luck on the float tube. My first fish came at the rapid where we had our lunch. After that I managed a few good rainbow trout on the fly from my belly boat. What an amazing spot and a trip to remember.

Haha what a great watch! One of my favorite videos! I want to belly boat, what a great cool way to catch a trout.
Thanks, I think you will like it. I'm sure I can organize a trip.
Belly boats are AWSOME
It was really fun, will have to do it again soon
lovely scenery. belly boats are so relaxing, quite enjoyable for a change after a few trips out walking up rivers, you can get really close to trout, like they don't even realize your there half the time, great video
Thanks. Yes it was a neat experience, especially the rising fishing in the afternoon that just did not seem bothered by us. Like the one I caught just meters behind Barrie. Will definitely be doing that again some time soon.
Being new to belly boating, this video is GOLD! Thank you for sharing and giving me an inside look to many adventures to come!!
I'm very happy to hear that and I wish you many fun adventures. Let me know if there is any aspects you would like to know more of. I want to make more belly boating videos in future so would be great to know what you need to know starting out.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Thank you for encouragement!! I think the basics of how to navigate using the float tube would be awesome! I have yet to see any of those videos. I imagine it to be very easy to navigate at the end of the day!
@@tonganfisherman thanks for the idea, it's a good one because you go backward it can be a bit hard, also the kind of fins you have can make it much easier or harder to kick. It will be a while before I get to make it, maybe next season but I will cover that in a future video. Thanks for the idea.
the quality of this video is excellent lol did not expect this
unexpectedly glad to hear that and there is more of this unexpected quality videos on my channel too 😉😂
Beautiful scenery and good times. Greetings from Norway 🎣😊
Thanks for watching, tight lines, from New Zealand
Absolutely love that spot. Such good fishing whether it be from the bridge or on the kayaks all the way up to the waterfall. Incredible video Johan. Ben and I have been dying to get out again. Can’t wait till we can. Cheers for the video
Thanks Nathan, hopefully your based in the "rest of nz" and can get out close to home from Tuesday. It's going to be a few more weeks for me sadly. Love that spot too and keen to go back this summer. I want to go above the rapid and fish the river. Looked very good up there.
Good work Johan. Great tool to get away from the crowds.
Thanks, it's also rather fun. Must say I really enjoyed the trip. Will be on the Tongariro tomorrow if you are in the area. Last minute day trip car pool job. Trying to convince Barnes to get up early and come too.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Love to join you! However digger and truck at home tomorrow to metal the driveway. Keep an eye out for those big brownies...
@@AboveWorryLevelFlyFishing no worries will definitely do that.
Very very good! Hello from Russia!
Thank you very much, hello from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hi Johan, a very nice bit of “Armchair fishing” with some old mates, I would recommend that you try this on the Big O as it is very productive way of fishing that lake. I personally can’t use tubes as when I get into any float fishing I need ungently to have a slash. It’s river fishing for me! Thanks mate. Harera
This is so funny because what I didn't put in the video is my emergency loo stop 😂 I definitely can't do more than 2 hours in there 😅 so we are in the same boat there. Thankfully there was a place to get out. Definitely keen to try it on lake O. Heard so much about it and only fished it once years ago. Maybe next season.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Hi, if the Big O canal is moving try a drift down the canal. Use to be able to drive my company vehicle down the track along the left bank to fish the banks. I would not use my own car, but everyone knows that company vehicles can go anywhere! There are some humungous fish in this lake, just don’t try eating them. Good luck mate, I do enjoy watching your videos. Harera
@@pierevojzola9737 thanks, I'll try that some time. I have heard about the big fish in there.
Piękne widoki! Pozdrowienia z Polski. Chciałbym tam popływac
Tu jest pięknie, mamy szczęście. Cudownie byłoby popływać w rzece. Myślę, że następnym razem odwiedzę. Dzięki za oglądanie.
Zapraszamy. Dla Ciebie zorganizujemy nawet wypad z belly boat. Warunek jest jeden, lowimy pstragi 😅. Pozdrawiam.
Ive been seeing you on a lot of my spots lately mate... Its good to see you catching fish, we should catch up sometime soon
Haha yup been trying to get out a bit. Definitely keen too catch up some time soon.
I love float tube fly fishing too! Great video, looks like you gents had a wonderful time out on the water! Can't wait until we have open water here again in Spring/Summer, my casting arm is itching to throw some fly line!
Thanks, I must say it was fun and I look forward to doing it again. Closed seasons are tough. Thankfully we have some open water through winter here and it's not so cold that everything freezes, so we can still get out to fish. I'd struggle if there was nothing open. Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you get into some fishing soon. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing our winters last about 6 months here lol but there’s always something to do like different hunting seasons, and trapping seasons, ice fishing also! But unfortunately for my fly fishing we got a fairly short window haha love it though, cheers mate and thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment I appreciate that and I also strive to do the same for comments on my videos, shows a lot of class! Take care
@@OutdoorsAnonymous wow thats a long winter but the ice fishing sounds cool. I've watched a bit of it and looks like fun. Tight lines for your upcoming season.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing thanks bud you too! :)
Nice Gadgets, wish I could be there with you guys! Cheers mates.
They are fun to fish from for sure. Looking forward to doing some more in the summer
Nice vidéo 🎣 fishinge liké
Thank you
Great stuff, it's on my list to buy one of those float tubes. Would make some epic content
Yeah, plenty of cool water down your way for this mate, would you be allowed to cruise a canal? 🤔😂
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing unfortunately no boats, swimming or floating devices allowed in the canals as it’s owned by the power companies etc
@@FishingForeverFilms figured as much but plenty of cool water for tubes still. Will have to make a plan for you.
That looks like so much fun ;)
It was 😀
Waw best broo i like fishing from indonesia,,
Thanks mate 👍
Yea nice vid
Thanks
Lekka video boet, enjoyed watching
Thanks Craig, was a lekke trip glad you enjoyed it
Awesome! I've always wanted to try fishing from a float tube looks like a lot of fun, would be very interesting if hooked up to a 20 pounder! Bought a Hobie 14' Pro Angler fishing kayak instead, faster more maneuverable and dryer. Cool upload keep up the good work bro.
Thanks Jason, your kayak will certainly be a fishing machine. I came very close to buying a hobie pro angler at one stage. I must say I did enjoy the slow pace of the float tube. Different experience and fun.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing,I think its good to slow down sometimes John. The "slow pace" with float tubes and Kayaks can defiantly be an advantage. You tune in and notice things that you might not normally notice , target fish that you cant from the bank. Would love to see you getting towed around Arapuni by a 20 pound brown ;) Keep it up bro, again great vid!
@@jasononeil1768 sounds like Arapuni is the place to be, would love a 20lb brown.
I like to "troll" streamers when I fly fish from my float tube. I have found it to be quite effective.
Yes, it does work nicely. I've seen it done a few times
Johan. I am absolutely stoked by this video. Would you don't mind sharing whereabout that place is and how to access. I've been searching for that kind of place around my home in west Auckland. Hope it isn't too far off from me.
Thanks Daniel, flick me a PM through my FB page and we can chat. I don't post locations publicly, especially when shown to me by others, which is the case here but I can send you tot he source if they are willing to share. It is still about 3 hours from West Akl where I live too.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing haha. Don't bother Johan as I only expected within 1-2 hrs range from my place. But I appreciated you counted it in. Tight lines.
@@danielkim3589 yeah not much within that range. Only place I kan think of is Lake Karapiro and the Pokaiwhenua mouth. Definitely worth a fish from a belly boat.
Awesome video man. Barry is a laugh! How much do those boats cost?
Thanks heaps. Barrie is rather entertaining. It's $399 including fins and a bag see here: www.flyfishinginxs.kiwi/product/belly-boat-fins-and-bag
Link for the coffee thing please 😀
Have no idea sorry, was not mine. I'm pretty sure if you can catch the name in the video you should find it on Amazon or somewhere.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing cool ty😀
