BIG Brown Trout [sight fished] - and 2 rainbows 

Soon the winter fly fishing in Taupo will also kick off.

Lots of great action for such a quick escapade. 👌

hay stop it mate , you crushing them. Nice one mate, lovely brown

The browns I have caught all had paler flesh than the rainbows but I think diet might influence that and each species preferred niche, they are different, is possibly part of the explanation.

I can hear that adrenaline kicking in listening to you breathing rate as you go down the bank for the brown 😂 great video as always. Thanks for keeping us entertained.

Amazing what a few hours fitted in here and there can result in. Some really nice tight fishing Johan, cheers

enjoyed watching that well done

Woww Pięknie !!!!👍👍👍

Throw the Brownie up on the riverbank and leave it there and concentrate on the rainbows. No not really, but in certain company Brown trout are scorned.When carrying out repairs to the NZED properties in Tūrangi in the early eighties we would find, sometimes, clotheslines full of split trout, all Rainbows, drying in the cold air for storage and later consumption and commerce(yes you read that right) there would be no Browns amongst them being deemed an inferior eat by people whom trout made up a significant part of their diet. A local who worked in our workshop told me locals would as like or not do what I first suggested. Personally I have never bothered much with them, not that I haven’t caught my share, I just find their pursuit and capture boring and then I don’t want to eat them when I do catch them. Their colour puts me off, it is the colour of jaundice. The “commerce” mention earlier was interesting also, my fathers family had bootlegging connections when and where my dad grew up and the commercial trout market in NZ works in a very similar manner to how bootlegging operated in Canada during the depression and US prohibition. All this i am able to verify. I still have my fathers chauffeur licence which he had to drive around one of the big bootleggers so the Canadian Federal Police would have no grounds to hassle him. My fathers continued employment in the role meant he was allowed no driving indiscretions at all. And he ended up with the bootleggers daughters name tattooed on his arm, which he later had to get blanked out when he met my mother.

Awesome work man! Such a different way to fish with the Czech nymph setup in a tiny stream - -but your technique works that's for sure. Wondering - that pole cam (insta360) made some great footage how come you're not using that? Well done & cheers for sharing
