These vids were all before the cyclone last year but it's definitely been lean times after that. The only place that has fished well for me since has been the Rangitekei, the main river, the tributaries have barren for me.
@@ManawatuFlyFishing i fished the rangitikei as me old boys farm is out those ways and i got 1 little 1 not the head waters tho this is just by hunterville ways , was real snaggy heaps of shit in there , went up and dwn that river , but i have the oroua at my doorstep and i aint got 1 this summer outa there ..weird ae .im glad u put them back bro we wanna think of the future and by puttn them back our kids will hopefully have some fun tu in the future . Cheers bro
Yes it was. It was a shame that I didn't continue with David to the waterfall. I put on cold wet clothes on in the morning and it got to me but I came right pretty quick in the sun at camp. Thanks for watching.
Sorry, the shorts are just to promote my long videos, they get 4x the views. See this for the battle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nLi2eIVgfGE.html
I think this river should be ok in a couple of months but all my HB spots got wrecked pretty bad, might have to give them a rest for a couple of years.
@@ManawatuFlyFishing agreed, we were so lucky in the Wairarapa we have had lots of high water all summer but really no damage. I am going to miss the HB rivers and it will be interesting to see how long it takes them to recover, might have to head to the Manawatu more often than HB, good luck for the rest of the season.
Good training for the 'coast to coast', Great fish, and a good days outing. Fished these streams in the Sixties but there were few fish to be had in those days. Not everything gets worse! Regards from Gisborne.
Looks real good, what stream is this if you don't mind me asking? Im from Taranaki so sort of used to tight fishing, but quite like to fish the Manawatu region
You guys on the S end of the N Isle, I'd guess? IS that white bedrock compacted volcanic ash. Sure looks like it. We have a lot of that in Central Oregon. Seems to be mineral rich and favors good trout habitat. Enjoying your videos. I'd sure like to come back...it's so far.
Yes you are in the right area. It is a type of silt stone called Papa, common to Manawatu, Rangitikei and Hawks bay. There is plenty of volcanic stuff a bit further north. Thanks for watching, the older videos on done with cell phone footage. Not the greatest but still got some good fishing in there.
Lovely river, especially the harder to access portions. We rafted with the "Fishaway" outfitters and had a blast. The pods of feeding fish were so much fun. Caught a nice 5 lb jack with a nice kype there, but mostly 2-3 lbs..
@@ManawatuFlyFishing impressive. once ihad done a couple nz back country trips i came to realize how hard it can be, and how the videos show only a fraction of the work involved. too old now so when i come back i will be limited to a few miles per day w/o a pack. enjoying your cliips!
Very nice. My NZ trip was mid Feb to Mid March 2019 and we had some luck with Cicadias under brushy banks. One fish my fly fell 10' short and the fish still charged it. Other times they just ignored everything. Next time I'll come this time of year, late Nov., for some less pressured fishing. Such beautiful streams.
