I know you said "theres nothing big in these pockets," but I would beg to differ sir! Here in the states the pocket water has been producing some of my biggest fish! Granted the water here does look small, but It's amazing what lurks behind some of these rocks and along the foam line running by the banks! Love your vids, I've learned a lot
Superb sport! love the accent and lingo here in the states :) That's some nice little water, not like the usual bigger, clear waters we see all the time from New Zealand.
There are a few tiny streams where I live and I have a great time catching lots of little fish while the big guys all go to the same wornout rivers to go for the big ones that are few and far between.
Variety is the spice of life. Fishing small streams with little trout like this is fun, but sometimes I enjoy all day with only a couple nice sized fish. I only keep fish when im camping and going to be eating the fish pretty directly anyways.
He's using a dry-dropper system. You use a dry fly that floats high on the water like an elk hair caddis, a stimulator. My personal favorite dry fly to use in a dry-dropper rig is a royal wulff just because it floats really well in turbulent water. You use the dry fly kind of like a strike indicator. If a fish takes the nymph that's attached to it the dry fly will sometimes dip under or, more than likely, make an unnatural kind of movement. You basically fish it just like you were using a strike indicator and whenever your dry fly does something that just looks funny, set the hook.
I wish had water like this available around where I live. My state has such a meat mentality about trout. I mean I enjoy taking a fish home for dinner now and then, but five is a little much. If you can eat that much, go to the store and save the sport for us.
