Spring Creeks and Dry Flies (New Zealand Episode 12) 

Truly awesome

At 3:12 or so, I tie a butt section in, so I can take more time with the nail knot to make it super smooth, and I glue it, which makes it even smoother, and then you definitely don’t need to worry about the tag end. A blood knot is then applied to the new leader.

You guys are awesome, my new favorite fly fishing channel!!!!! this ones for Tua: I learned this the hard way when I first started catching big fish on the fly rod... I lost many fish when I didn't them on the reel immediately. Your first job once you have the line tight, is get that "spaghetti" on the reel, don't be afraid to even walk away from the fish to get line off the ground, then quickly on the reel. The line is always a problem until it's safely on the spool, a big fish will always hurt you if you have a bunch of line management issues. Let that reel drag work for you as soon as possible! Hope this is helpful, you do a great job!!!!

Your videos make me smile SO much! Thanks for that! I'm heading to NZ for the first time ever on Sunday... for almost 4 weeks... camper van... both islands. Taking a fly rod/etc... going with wife and 10-year-old, so will not get too many opportunities, but I will try to get a couple fish (early mornings on my own... evenings where we park/camp). I'm assuming I will find some fish? Interested to see your Norwegian videos too... I finished high school there... 94-96... Kristiansand and Stavanger. Cheers!

Nice! Great camera work. I also found a lot of other anglers this time in NZ, even in one place where we had never seen another angler in the fifteen years we have fished there!

Perfekt film og perfekt navn! Dere er helt rå! 👏🙌👍😃

Amazing as always. Good idea to rename. Can't wait to fish with you this year. Hopefully, it will be possible.

Your excelent fish handling skills need a mention too👍....have seen some shockers on here recently and from some who should know better😉

Very nice...🤗🥰

Great video was awesome and great too watch

Great filming guys❤👍🔥

Hey bud no-one here weighs fish in kilos great filming though! intrigued by the erm, bumblebee I remember being at a sidestream/spring creek next to a big river and there were loads of bumblebees floating down but the trout avoided them - didn't eat 'em!! ...caught two six pounders - oh sorry 2.75144 kilos...on a small nymph and a cicada!

Thanks for showcasing parts of NZ not all get to see. Kiwis included. Ignore the people who say yr showing secret spots . Nothing is secret in NZ😂. Did you do any canal fishing in previous episodes ? Come again sometime, the trout might be even bigger 🤝🏽👏🏼👍👉🏽💥🐟

I'm enjoying your videos, and like you, I love the slow rise takes! I've never seen a fly rod like the ones you use. What is that fly rod?

Have you tried a braided loop at the end of your fly line ?.

Beat us to it! It’s a big river sweetheart?

Nice videos and thanks for sharing. Just a friendly request to ease not snip your tag ends into the grass.
