Good video! I guided in Alaska in the late 80s and this is when I first started tying glowballs..I really liked it when you said there is a difference between a good glowball and a 'shit' glowball! Made me laugh because you are so right! All of us that were guiding were trying to tye the perfect glowball and it was amazing the effort we were putting into this..We finally got it right, I feel. I think the perfect glow ball is one that is somewhat dense like yours, top and bottom. We didnt use the glue underneath, we flipped the fly and tyed another small piece of glowball yarn in and cut. Also today I think I would try the gps threads in 30 or 50 denier..Liked your hack with the thread on the bobbin, I'll have to try that! Thanks!
That when a soft bait would come in handy when like that it's a shame it's only fly rod only when you should be able to take both on the water silly if you ask me but that's NZ regulations for ya lols blame the net 😂good on ya mate cheers for the video
Hey, I'm looking to do a hike / fishing trip in the north island. Ideally hike up a river and camp in a hut or doco site, fishing along the way. Do you have any recommendations. Potentially even helicopter in, walk out. Cheers
the most snaggy frigging river I have ever fished, but also one of the most enjoyable. Lovely Kiwi spot, I haven't lived in NZ for 20+ years but this video makes me miss it - love the Hatepe :-)
Monster hooks on tiny eggs? I wonder about: why does everyone on RU-vid use these monster big hooks for these small, tiny eggs? They disturb the smootness of the eggs surface and tend to snag on the bottom. I prefer to mount two windings of Lead wire on a bent hook size 16, so the egg will almost completely hide the tiny hook. The lead will position the hook to guarantee a upright Position in water , which counts for less snagging- its mostly forgotten, that the physics , weight and streaming behavior of Flies in the water is crucial for successful tackle.
Wow...that's all I can say. Love watching you guys in NZ catch those monsters. I am all in to see what you do in 2021. I supersub'd which means I clicked everything ! Please check out what we do at Overland Pacific Northwest.
Some good fishing there bud in a beautiful looking spot, thumbs up here & remember your lunch but most importantly water, gotta stay hydrated in these places 👌
Hi Phil, nice bit of back country river, good choice in your presentation. We have been fishing the T in a few pools below the Blue and found that the naturals in #14 are taking quite well but the wind is very gusty. Tight lines, see you on the river. Harera
@@OnTheFlyNZ Thats luck working,? I am sure that luck is when you are on the river! There are never enough days left in this life not to be fishing. Peter the Apostle was never the same when he left fishing! Harera
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Yea it was an amazing fish. Even more amazing was that it was lacking condition and still that big. I didn’t fully realize it’s size until I got it in the net
