Fly fishing in Paradise - New Zealand
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Join me on a trip to the south of New Zealand's South Island where I join Wanaka based guide Jake Berry on an overnight hike-in fishing adventure. The weather turns it on and the place is spectacular for my first visit here with willing trout in simply majestic surroundings.

This was a favorite. Watched it a long time ago. You're Friend Jake ,good dude. Honey hole backyard.
Good vibe trip.
Don't tell Hans about this place. 😂
@@patricknoveski6409 too late… 😬
No cover such as undercut banks and few overhanging trees, yet these fish grow large and don't seem to spook, go figure. Wonderful video! 😎
...AND THESE FISH WERE RELATIVELY SMALL! CHEERS!
Beautiful place , beautiful photography , beautiful fish ... Man ... you're close to paradise
+antsanchesMD jr. Thanks and cheers for watching and commenting
Just beautiful
Cheers!
From Spain a spectacular paradise of fly fishing available to a privileged few. What envy ...
I am in love with the amazing scenery...so natural..so beautiful.. what a blessing 😍
AvoCado thanks for watching!
@@mikefsher 👋👍👍👍💖
what an incredible place and what an incredible fishing
stunning country, paradise. I visted 4 yrs ago, for two mnths , it flow by, like a weekend
Insane. This clear water and how you can see every fish
Beautiful movie, your handling of the fish is an example to us all of us how to respect these wonderful creatures. Thanks you for the inspiring video.
Thanks for the kind words! :-)
wow amazing....i'm from Indonesia love it
Cheers, glad you liked it!
Cracking film like all the rest , great way to bring some NZ fishing to our homes thanks a bunch..
+kifaru 8 No worries - anytime!
You lucky people. Looks idilic. The water is so clear. These Browns are a good size. Better than most UK rivers I fish on. Well I guess I can dream. Nice video. Enjoyed watching.
Best fishing film I've ever seen
James Hughes thanks so much for the kind words
You make the best fly fishing videos. Simple and to the point, just like real-life fly fishing. Todd Moen should take a note.
Thanks for the very kind comment. Yeah, personally, i get tired of clips that are all glitz and music - more just a collage of images, like an ode to film-making, rather than letting people in and allowing them to be part of it in a way. I simply make what i like to see... Cheers!
This is No.1 in my Bucket List, I fished with one of my best mates in the southern Island 10 yrs ago, He lived in Christ Church and we went travelling for a week around the south island but i experienced nothing like this. I'm saving for another trip for my 45th Birthday and i hope to God i can have a day or two on this river. Fishing Paradise!!! I can't put into words how amazing this river looks and you guy's seem so down to earth and cool, would imagine its a complete pleasure to fish with ye and you have the out most respect for your environment and the fish, truly skilled anglers in every aspect. well done love ur vids!
Aidan Gonnelly passion and kind words - love it, thanks!
Simply mesmerising..... my dream is to one day visit New Zealand and fish in those crystal clear waters.....really paradise on earth....you guys are so lucky
Cheers!
Me too
In my dreams
Paradise indeed....WOW!!
It is almost unfair to fish in water that clear. New Zealand is such a paradise. I have been to Australia, but not New Zealand. I think I know the destination for my next trip. Great video
Thanks mate - it certainly is!
Some of the most beautiful fish I've ever seen. Good work fellas
wow,excellent,its perfect place for me ,i wanna live there
superbe bravo big fish
Thanks!
Just absolutely incredible!! Makes me want to buy an airline ticket and a fly rod! Thank you so much for this most beautiful video!!
gwen montgomery Thanks so much for taking the time to make such a nice comment, all the best.
It Defies belief on how this video has 124 thumbs down. How I see it was simply stunning stunning surroundings and water to go with it, beautiful spot and some lovely trout caught, definitely an awesome day out you two had, another top notch video
great video, good quality, and awesome fishing
Amazing shots at 34:20 it looks like from Jurassic period. Really beautiful nature and fish.
It is a miraculous natural environment!
Please have a beautiful trout and respect to nature forever.
Beautiful rivers👍
MIKE, this is my favorite flyfishing video. Jake is a mellow guy, and stylish fisherman. Good team work. Thank you.
Patrick. Calif.
Thanks - i appreciate it
wow !!! wonderful wonderful and ....more wonderful ...love the way you guys fish ..good vids ..like the troutboys produce ..thanks for sharing with us ,,cheers , from the far north .
+stvomanu Thanks for the kind words :-)
I was fortunate enough to realise one of my lifetime goals by fishing in New Zealand back in 2001.Unfortunately, I didn't have a guide as I couldn't afford one but I remember being totally unable to sleep with excitement the night before. I fished the Tongariro, the rip in Taupo and the Hinnemaiaia. I hooked one nice rainbow which I lost after playing for a short while. This video has re-ignited my will to return some day and complete the job I started many years ago. The scenery, the clear water, the symbiology of the anglers with their environment. Well done to you both. Beautifully shot.
Hughie S Kind words indeed and love the passion - tight lines mate.
Good Work .
As usual Mike great video great skill with the fly stunning fish treated with great respect .
Thanks a lot for the kind words
I drove around paradise when i was in new zealand a few years ago. took the road out of queenstown toward glenorchy and onward from there through dirt roads as far as my rental car would take me.. haha the rental company probably needed new shocks for that mistubishi. amazing place all together
New Zealand Will now for sure be number one trout destination of my dream. Nice footage work Mike and Jake.
+Claus Frederiksen Thanks for that!
Love it, wishing I was there
Looks like a ton of fun! Great times fly fishing a river!
Wild Five Outdoors 'Tis indeed! Cheers!
Amazing to see upstream presentation with such clear water and wild fish! Must be the lack of angling pressure! Great video men!
+john ehret Thanks! This place gets it's fair share of pressure but 19 foot leaders help.
Beautiful place!
Amazing. I wish to oneday live in nz, and you just made that wish become a real hope. I am a thirteen year old fly andler from washington dc, USA
+Max Anderson Good on ya mate and your time will come!
That's some breathtaking beauty right there! Well done gents
会話が全く分からないで観ていましたが、リリースの時に「ありがとう」って言ってますね。
妙にうれしかったです。
Expert fish handling - love seeing that.
Thanks for that - gotta look after them for sure
paradise, good spot, your friend mellow. both of you fish well together.
no drama. just good angling. fun to watch.
make it look easy. its not.
Thanks Mike. As always, beautiful
+OutdoorsNZ Cheers for that!
Excellent video. I love the way you filmed it so that you could see the rise and take. Exciting to watch. The most cooperative trout I have ever seen. Well done.
Cheers buddy.
Puedo decir que en verdad este lugar es el paraiso
Wow! That looks so beautiful
Another great video Mike. I love those monster Brown Trout.
Cheers buddy
very beautiaful scenaries and nics casting. I am keen to visit there.
Great video, I live in Mt. Home Arkansas near the White and Norfork rivers. We have trout that big and bigger here, but you don't see them near enough. A lot smaller than that is the norm. I have always wanted to visit New Zealand, so one of these days. Now since the Olympics I have another reason, rugby! Me and my grandson watched nearly every match, got us both hooked. Keep it up with the videos, beautiful fish and you caught them well.
Cheers mate - fly fishing and rugby, hard to beat.
Reminds me of a river near Reefton. Beautiful!
This is a long way South of there...
So perfect place, i fall in this place alone this year, and it was incredible to, so good remember when i look this video :) thanks ( sorry for my english, i m french )
You catch all those beautiful tasty brown Trout in my opinion the best tasting fish and you cook bacon lol. This film is amazing I wish the river which I fish was this clear we do have the Lovely views like you in Scotland but maybe a wee colder.
Fantastic Experience!!!
NZ on my list to fly fish. Nice here in Colorado as well but your videos get the adrenaline pumping for the scenery and trout out there. Doesn’t hurt that we use the same fly rods and similar gear.
Amazing Mike (& Jake), great teamwork throughout, geez you guys make it look easy. That gymnastic hookup and land from 34:50 Mike; let's talk about that....
+Mark Foreman Cheers Mark, yeah teamwork makes it fun and more effective. Balance beam fishing is just doing what you have to do kinda thing.
"nice fella'" haha! I love how nonchalant your expression is after catching a fish that I'd be freaking out if I had caught him! Great video of beautiful fish and beautiful country!
+gscotty311 Thanks for that. These are actually of fairly modest size compared to my 'home' waters in my region. This was well South of my guiding region.
mikefsher
I fall in love with this beautiful nature
I want to fish there ! Thanks for making me jealous.
Most awesome trout waters I've seen in years! IRL
+John Delaney Cheers!
Bloody excellent. Many thanks for taking the time to post. Had to watch it twice as the missus kept interrupting with some crap about next weeks menu...Cheers Lewis
+Lewis McGregor Cheers Lewis, they're good like that. Glad you enjoyed it.
WOW! Would love to fish NZ one day.. Everytime i go out to fish in Austria (we have nice rivers too) i watch your videos first to get in the mood :D Love your work - keep it up! Greets from Austria!
+Z3r0TheNuLL Thanks mate and glad to be able to provide some inspiration to anglers far and wide
Amazing!! It's my dream to fish like this!
Perfect video. Pipe dream.
good work, great scenery!
The River(s) you fish at are amazing. Very clean and could drink from it.
Up until a few years ago i drank from every river i fished.
I got beaver fever!
Absolutely awesome video as always! Thanks for fueling the passion while I'm away from NZ
+Salmonids Glad you liked it!
incredible how those trouts don't seem scared at all.
here on a calm river they just would flee at 15 meters
good video mike, looks like such a beautiful scenery to fish
Great job on the video! Nice work guys!
Que belleza ! Saludos desde argentina!
What a wonderful delight. Thanks for sharing!
+Timothy Taylor Thanks for watching! :-)
nettes informatives video
Great video. Those may be small for you but would be trophy fish here in northeastern USA. Sight casting to those monsters must be awesome. Beautiful clear rivers you got there. If your home waters are better than that you are one lucky man.
+Gordon Perkins Thanks mate. It's all relative i guess when it comes to fish size but they are all a joy to encounter for sure...
These guys are doing some awesome vids.Best wishes from North Carolina.
+Susan Baldwin Gee - thanks!
wow just beautiful good video guys
realmente....El Paraíso!!!
Great video.Loved the South Island, very windy most of the time when I was there, made casting tricky .
david Elliott Thanks for watching
Fiyfishing in Paradise is a favorite. Plus your buddy is totally mellow. Easy to fish with. Yeah I like his backyard. Shhhh. No names.
Patrick Noveski cheers mate - mums the word
Good on yaJake
eeerr... i'm Mike.
Mike, that's amazing. One of my next trip it's New Zeland! I love fly fishing...
Rosario Mancuso .
Great video lads...will have to visit your lovely Country one of these days.....Mike from Gloucestershire England.
Every time i watch this vid i feel like a teenager with butterflies in my stomach meeting someone so attractive your all nervous and have sweaty palms! HA HA, I'm still just in Awe of the scenery and the fishing not to mention the good companionship of good company and guy's just doing what guy's do when ur trecking and gunning for trout. I hope I'll make the trip to make my own memory!! Don't know if ill make the flight home though i'd only imagine one would have to drag me onto the plane kicking and screaming like a petulant child looking candy!! there are worse things one could wish for, 3 weeks in NZ doing this!! Magic
Aidan Gonnelly Cheers Aidan, you make the time and I'll make it work. Harmonious solution... 😬
mükemmel bir balık avı tebrikler , doğa dostları rastgele
It is beautiful for sure
Потрясающе красивое видео. Спасибо
+Евгений Терешин Thanks - glad you like it
Beautifully filmed fellas........I will come over one day (from Oz).......hopefully!!!
1 paradise for fishing. very good.
Wow, this looks awesome :)
Wonderful stuff Mike. That's some testing slow-water conditions with a shit load timber to make things tense!
+troutboynz Yeah just a lovely place to fish Andrew - not always about the size of fish. It was testing at times and others not so much...
Awesome movie and wise words at the end! Thumbs up :D
Cheers Tom
Thanks Tom - it's there for all if we treat it and each other right...
Many thanks for a great video. Simply perfect!
+Lasse s Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed it
The very definition of envy is what i feel when i watch these videos.
fernando Mazzon hehe - cheers for watching!
You both make a great team. Nice work! :)
We do - and thanks!
very great!
This is such a good video, I watch it while I tie flies, as inspiration haha. Keep them coming!
Cheers for the kind words
at around 14 40 can see one to your left just ahead of the log sweet man what a nice river ..
Edit: Well the second half of the video the fish did seem to fight much better. Did I hear the one fellow at the end of the video say they were "modest sized" trout. If I hear it right that is pretty funny. In most any US trout stream those aren't "modest sized" brown trout on a fly rod. I've watched hundreds of fly fishing videos and this is surely the best video with the clearest water and the most willing trout. Both guys were having a great time sharing the experience. Thoroughly enjoyable video.
Cheers for that. On the 'modest' sized trout thing - it's all relative, and for here they were of smaller size than i would normally catch.
Great!! I look this videos and it´s like a dream for me!! I hope to be in New Zealand as soon as possible to fish with you. I don´t know how long take to go but fishing in New Zealand is my goal one day!! Thank you very much for this amazing images!!
+Dario Sastre Thanks and look me up when you want to come

some nice brawn Trott mate. I would be keeping some of them to eat yumm
Hey Mike just wondering what your go-to boot is for missions like this? Hope you're having a great season and hope to stay well out of your way on my upcoming trip haha. Always enjoy your videos!
Amazing footage Mike! Had to watch this clip again after just recently booking tickets to NZ. Looking forward to maybe fishing some water like this with Jake next season... Is less than a year away too early to start the countdown for my return to the South Island? It's videos like this that keep us anglers sane (or insane) until we can once again return to paradise...
All the best. Aloha
For brown trout that are at least 21" - 24" they surely aren't fighting very well at all. What do you attribute that too? Here in the US on rivers I fish in Montana browns that big, even in slower current, will run off a lot of line and possibly put you into the backing.
