I'm a Fly Fishing Guide based in Nelson at the top of New Zealand's South Island and keen Videographer/Film maker. For more info see www.latitudeguiding.co.nz
Actually Alex the unbelievably picturesque scenery and promotion you have done of the South Island and back country rivers since ditching the Taupo district says far more about the greed of the local Waikato iwi who in spite of their faces have cut off their noses. The number of anglers they would have benefitted from who might have visited Taupo after seeing the likes of the tongariro on your channel is a much bigger loss than what they would have gained from you paying them for YouTubing ‘their’ awa, keep up what you are doing, I know I have learned a lot from what you offer, thank you.
Another great video Mike. I am a Scott fan and addict but I must recognize that Guideline is very good, specially in experienced hands like your guest.
Well done Mike! Amazing video. Beautiful fish, beautiful river and some fine-looking camp side meals. I appreciate that you take good care of them too. Can you answer a question for me? I'm used to keeping a lot more distance between me and the fish. Are you trying to fish close enough to see the fish take the nymph in case it's too subtle to see it on the dry? Different reason?
Thanks so much and good question. As long as you understand the trouts viewing window, you can get closer than most anglers think. The advantages are many: better drift is the biggest, then seeing the take, followed by being more accurate, then more secure short range sets. Hope this helps!
Another well put together production as always, Mike. It was great to see you and Corey in a clip together and, of course, promoting these now popular back country skins.
Finally, the good stuff!! Once again beautifully done! Those big beautiful Browns just cruising beneath the surface, amazing! One day I'll make it out there!👍✌️
Brilliant. You already know I’m a big fan of Backcountry Skinz. But after a nasty grade 2 hamstring tear in mid September 2023 (50+ year olds should never play competitive sport!!) they came into their own this season. Really made movement on the water possible during that recovery. By December was taking on some more ambitious trips and thanking heaven for them!! Brilliant video from two legends. Thanks mate!
I live in France, and I really wanted to buy the backcountryS products, so thanks to you, I contacted the brand and they recommended a retailer in England. So I'll be able to get my parcel quickly to Slovenia. So thank you very much for your videos.
@@mikefsher Only telling the truth Mike. I spend hours watching your videos. Inspirational viewing. Thanks so much for sharing. I know how much time you must spend on each video. Really appreciate the effort.
