This River is Incredible, Big Fish Everywhere. 

|I'd like to ask the owner exactly why his 'wild' trout are so big .... is it just the wonder and excitement of NZ ... do they have better food ? .... are they mystic ?.... nope. They are stocked and fed every day .... please please please come up with a natural reason for multiple large fish in a relatively small body of water with a natural food supply... go on ... please provide some explanation for you're blatant lies about your country's small rivers.(they choose small rivers 'cause they're easier to maintain a head of fish ... and it's easier for the idiots that part with 2-3k to travel to catch a big lab pet livestock trout) Someone should investigate NZ's 'wild' claims. I'm pretty sure 'wild' is misleading at best and downright fraudulant otherwise.

I’m a retired professional touring drummer, and I was playing in Australia, grew up in New Jersey love trout fishing never a big fly man, but when I lived in Washington state, I had friends who were a huge fly. Fisherman taught me how to fly fish. When I was in Australian finished touring, I had a week off. I flew to New Zealand for three days for today trout excursion with guides the first day we were in a small river or lake dish got me sharp my fly skills on the second day, we were in a big river, and it was to guides one in the water with me and one out on the trees that climbed out over the River and was site fishing where the trout work for us it was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had in New Zealand is an extremely beautiful country

Couple of highly respectful gents with the kayaks. Thumbs up for taking them around in the least disturbing places. I have people that will knock you down or float straight through your fishing spot without a word out here in Utah. Refreshing to see courteous outdoorsman.

Lifetime day that was epic! Cheers from Montana👍

Enjoyed watching you catch those great big Rainbow Trout.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets excited when the clip starts with the quad bike! DB tells me his big moment in the spotlight was ruined by a "technical fault"!

Love watching fish go back in this is proper fishing putting big fish back People don't realise how long it takes and what the fish goes through to get to this size well done lads spot on lads

What a day man! Beautiful river, great fish, hell yeah gents! Plus, those yakkers were super cool.

Thanks ....greetings from Turkey

Good looking water and great fish. A great day fishing and catching.

That’s a magical spot. Those fish are some beautiful HOGS! 😌✊🏽

Beautiful fish! Love trout fishing 🎣

Excellent quick releases. Would like to hear you emphasize how important that is in your wonderful videos. Too many videos out there of fisherman telling a story while the fish is gasping for its life. What an amazing paradise. Beautiful, healthy looking fish.

as an angler...we call it paradise fishing spot....congrats bro...u r lucky...

Отличная рыбалка! У нас много снега, и очень ждем весну, что-бы тоже половить этих прекрасных рыб! На связи 🤙🏻

Great river, nicely done

Wow, what a beautiful day and gorgeous fish. Thanks for sharing!

It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks

Hi Gareth, there were some beautiful fish, well worth the hike. Watching the two blokes floating by, ( very courteous giving you lots of room) made me wonder about a floating, camping and fishing trip next year. Cheers mate. Harera

Good fishing, you guys are catching some beautiful fish!

beautiful fish, what a session

Beauty!

Absolutely luv your videos. Got mates on the North island, the Naki. Been thinking about heading back for a trout fish adventure, now checking flights. Cheers Aussie

Those are freakishly large rainbows. Amazing.

Stunning!

Great Video Gareth, thanks.

What a beautiful spot. I thought we had great trout fisheries here in Canada but that river is next level.

They are some beautiful looking fish nice rainbows I enjoyed your video Say my friend

Those waters over there in NZ are beautiful! Not Much of that here in Pennsylvania unless we travel

great video.... again. Thanks for the continuing inspiration

Jeez man those fish were enormous! Looks like an incredible day on the water.

Great fishing' gentlemen,

Every fish a dream fish .

wow love these trouts

Again a wonderful video happy Xmas

So beautiful place

Hi from far distant Scotland. Superb river and great fishing. Are the hoods, buffs and gloves to protect you from the sun or bugs or both?

Is it a lighting thing or do they look less pink there and more of a salmon color? stunning none the less.

Замечательная рыбалка! Очень хочется поймать такую же рыбу, как у вас. Но к сожалению у нас такие не водятся!

wow... a river with lots of fish

'Incredible' just about nails it.

Nice videos. When nymphing what length/tippet leaders do you use? In your opinion is nymphing overtaking dries in productivity? I normally think dries when fishing in New Zealand. Thanks. Have fun out there!

Nice spot and some great fish after the bouncy hairy ride to get in there

Good lord! Some lunkers over there

Μπράβο πεδια πιασατε ωραια ψαρια👍👍

Yeah you guys have the best strain from our north coast river the sacremento. I live on the Smith way farther north we have rainbows AKA steelhead to 30lbs. I have landed many 20lbers and one 26lbs

awesome.

Great Video. Big Rainbow trouts. Where is it. New Zealand? A lot of fun for you. God luck

Great fishing in amazing water. Lucky you guys don't have snakes, makes bush bashing a bit more interesting.

Great video. May i ask what fly line are you using?

Do you guys know any good guides in New Zeeland? Im looking to go on a fishing vacation there 😁

I've been watching your videos for the past year and it always makes me jealous, but I'm finally making my way to New Zealand here in the next few months! I'm starting my journey in Queenstown. I'm hoping to buy some more fly fishing gear/flies when I arrive. Do you happen to know of the best stores in that area I could check out? Thanks, and keep up with the great content!

😳Wow, shocking big fish

what size rod/reel what wt are you using for these big fish?

what is the name of the river?

Fishies where fairly large and some looked like they where old so i assume that's not a high pressure river.

I need this fish😮😮😮

O is for Awesome!

Nice broo nice enjoy

Nice 🎉❤

We also have big lake with loaded of huge big trout fish brooo

❤❤❤❤❤

What wheel is that?

Mantulll 👌👍👍

💕Wow💛💛💛💛💛💗💗

Thanks , U r defferent not like khasi bamduh . ❤

Steelhead!

Pack rafts on trout streams, hmmmm. They are everywhere now.

Is this river in the North or South Island?

Are those Native or Hatchery guys?

Кайф)))

😊

👍💪✌🇺🇦

Love this stuff, video quality is a bit average though. need a camera upgrade?

I can do this in the Sacramento River here in Calif also. And bigger. The last buck I caught had to be 8 lbs.

Guess which river?

They look like steelhead to me.

Please put the net into the water before you bring the fish closer!

This comment is posted on behalf of fish everywhere: Imagine the pain and terror a fish experiences when a needle-sharp hook rips into its flesh; then the agonizing struggle for its life as it frantically swims to get free. Next, imagine a fisherman eating a juicy cheeseburger when suddenly a treble hook (hidden in the burger) rips into his cheek and he's yanked out of his chair, then lifted to the ceiling with his entire body weight supported by the hook in his jaw. Now, that's a video worth watching! Happy Fishing, everyone!

Nice place but not worth going through all that brush

aren't you supposed to take home?

When caught a fish, you like to cook and enjoy the capture, but they released the fish ? Very strange habit, in my opinion.

I'm sick fed up of tales of massive trout in tiny rivers ... notice it's always a tiny river ... . Fish can only grow as big as the food flow .... 6 6lb trout CANNOT support themselves in one flow in a tiny stream ... there simply isn't enough food ... these fish are stocked and fed every day... NZ is lying to you ... sure the fish are there ... but they aint naturals. Abolutely nothing 'wild' about these trout. The laws of physics don't have a special catagory for NZ. So ...next time you see an angler festooned with tackle like a christmas tree and a net the size of the stream ..... you're watching New Zealand.

I hate this type of fishing catch and release
