Camping and Fly Fishing for Trout on a Pristine Blue Mountains River 

Glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks for watching

That’s nice of you to say John. Cheers mate

A big part of why I haven’t made more 😅

Thanks mate

Cheers bro, really kind words. Appreciate it

Thanks Peter! Doing some planning now but could be a couple months

Thanks Bill. I’ll try not to let you down on the Beer

Thanks Craig

Thanks mate. These will never be something I do just for the sake of putting a video out. I’m only going to do them when I have the time to do them how I want to

Thanks for watching!

Haha thanks mate. Admittedly I’ve had the thought while I’m out there “how the fuck does Scotty make so many of these videos and continue to make them interesting?”

Well…I cut the scene short

@@Joshtreds Really enjoyed watching. I cant wait to get back to Oz for another adventure. I never knew the BMs had decent trout water! You efforts are appreciated.

@@perrykomick9478 thanks for the kind words!

Cheers Heath!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words mate

Appreciate that Peter!

Appreciate the comment and support mate

Cheers Luke

Thanks mate!

Thanks mate, yep it’s great to see our rivers thriving after such a long stretch where they did it tough

Thanks Lee, maybe a perfectionist when it comes to my videography, not so much my fishing

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Laurice, glad you enjoyed it

Glad you thought so!

How corny and original, tight lines

Cheers Bev. Hoping I get the chance to do it if the rain can hold out for long enough this summer

I think the flip side of that is that no matter where you live you can always be envious of the fishing someone else has. Always happy to answer anyone’s questions about gear. I probably don’t go into enough detail in the videos themselves because I’m trying to avoid lulls in the pace. Always interesting to find out what different people enjoy though

Glad to hear!

You shouldn’t have that problem anymore, I think I took the branch down when removing those flies 😅

Thanks dude

Appreciate the feedback Evan. I think I try to avoid too much detail in my videos because my personal preference in these sort of videos is not to drag them out with too much information. For me that effects the flow, but that’s just my take. I’m also no expert when it comes to tactics and casting so I’ll leave that to others. I’m at a level where I’m comfortable guiding myself. When it comes to locations, I’m a big believer in letting people do the work and to just explore for themselves. Half the fun is finding new places yourself by putting in the effort. Sure people have taken me to places that I didn’t know about, but that’s also part of building friendships with people who have the same passion. Some people won’t like that response, but I don’t think it’s my obligation to name locations, potentially crowding people’s favourite rivers and spots people guide for a living.

Thanks mate, I couldn’t include all the clips of getting caught in trees. Didn’t want the video to blow out in length

@@Joshtreds haha

True as..good comment 👍

Thanks Huey, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for the feedback Phillip, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks mate, glad you liked it. I usually fish TCD at least once a year but didn't this last season. The rivers are fishing too well :)

@@Joshtreds they are indeed!

Thanks Luke!

Thanks Johan

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed both of the videos

Glad you enjoyed it mate

Kind of you to say mate, thanks!

Haha I’m glad the effort was worth it for you and you could piggy back the vibes

Thanks Geoff, glad it resonated with you. Feel free to message me on Instagram if you want to chat

My favourites also (in Aus anyway)

Cheers mate, people have different styles, glad mine resonates with you

Glad you enjoyed it mate. There is tonnes of fish down there which is great, but they are mostly around or under one pound in size. But that's a huge improvement over the drought years, should make for really good fishing over the coming years. Haha the lift out with National Parks is the dream

Thought you could drive down there? Looks like the Cox's to me?

@@stuartmarshall7099part off the system !! It's a massive hike and fly blokes we won't tell you about it ... magazines did the damage 7-8 years ago

​@@Jo33333 When you say, massive hike how many k's are we talking? It's a, shame when idiots ruin a nice spot?

@@stuartmarshall7099 you thought wrong. Got to keep the wankers out , guess again, give up. Parramatta River, she’s looking great

Glad you enjoyed them Pete. Good luck on your high country fishing this season!

Appreciate it!

Cheers!

Cheers Andy!

It looks remarkably different than it did 8 years ago! Multiple floods and fires will do that!

Yeah, the Parramatta River looked lovely

Thanks mate, it’s definitely an investment getting a camera that shoots 4k in a high frame rate, but it does give you a lot of versatility when editing.

Thanks David

You can catch a trout at the seafood shop, they usually sell smoked trout. You can camp in your backyard

Thanks John. Yeah in a lot of instances I would use a dry for the indicator but the river was changing depths pretty frequently so I needed to be able to constantly adjust. I was regretting it on that one fish that took a swipe at the indicator though

Haha not

Thanks for the kind words Ola. I have been filming these with the Sony fx3. Originally I was using the 16-35mm G master lens but as I wanted to reduce the weight as much as possible I switched to the 1.8 20mm g Sony lens for this one and was happy enough with it!

Thanks mate 👌

I slept a little better than you did down there mate by the sounds of it!

A mug that says my other mug is a YETI?

I was think more along the lines of a mug that says “well… shut up” 😂

Hah thanks mate, appreciate that. Putting together something I’m happy with is my goal, not any kind of milestone for subscribers. But it’s nice when the videos resonate with other people!

The best time

Thanks Rick, what gear in particular would you like to know more about, the fishing gear or the camping stuff?

@@Joshtreds definitely interested in your camping kit but would love to hear more about your fishing kit as well.

In the freezer the night before and it just thaws out while you walk in

Oh and by the way, carrying a lighter pack is what allows you to carry the luxury items like fat mugs and chairs :)

Haha thanks mate. I think I can keep up this blistering pace of one video every 6 months. I love the Hyperlite bag, I was really hesitant switching from a more traditional structured bag but I don’t notice any loss of comfort. The advantage of being able to roll it down and use it as a day pack instead of taking a second bag for once I’m on the river is great.

Glad you enjoyed it mate. If I’m using a 5wt it’s probably because there’s the chance of larger trout getting about so I’ll generally use a 4x tapered leader. 9 or 12ft depending on the situation. I’ll go down to 5x if the fish are fussy

@@Joshtreds that’s awesome mate thanks so much for your advice! I’m loving learning how to fly fish

Tapered leader

Hey mate, yeah definitely rainbow trout, just coloured up at that time of year

I’m glad someone noticed

Hi Paul, glad you enjoyed it! Funnily enough I did watch one of your videos a little while ago as it came up as suggested content. I remember thinking how much I enjoyed your sense of humour. I’ll have to go through your other videos!

@@Joshtreds Thanks mate! Really appreciate that. Hope you like them.

Haha I guess it’s all relative. In the moment I feel lazy
