Incredible Fly Fishing for BIG Rainbow Trout in a Stunning River!!

The fly fishing, for big rainbow trout, in this backcountry river is pretty incredible. We sight fished for and landed a bunch of solid trout. Fly fishing with a dry dropper rig did most of the work but we did get a couple nymphing as well.

Save Pawel from taking up chess instead of fishing by subscribing! We need 100 subs on this video or we will lose him 😰 Also leave a comment to tell Pawel he shouldn't start playing chess instead of fishing, we need Pawel!

The eels are attracted by the vibrations of the hooked fish's panic and thrashing about. They hang around after due to the smell and are still looking for the fish. The big eels are all girls and when they get big like that are in the 10-20 year age group. If you are a bit slow landing a fish (especially in the evening) they will grab it off your line. One of the fish you caught had a scar around the cloaca and is most probably where she was grabbed during spawning by an eel. A good trip thanks for sharing.

I especially like the way you treat the fish with respect and care (and instructing the viewer on a proper treatment)! Real sportsmen!

I fly fished NZ in the 80's it was amazing! Best memory, right after fly fishing walked to a Pub, sat my kit in the corner, had a DB, had great conversation with locals.

Can’t imagine having access to a place like that to pull in those kind of fish. Great video!

Such a very well maintained waterway. Allowing nature to course freely without encroachment to foul it up. Respects for those that leave no trespasses against everyone's stewardship. Those are some healthy fish. That first trout looked to be a 3 year old but got fast on plenty of good forage. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy in between the rush of the next fish on! 👍 cheers

Enjoyed everything but the music. You have all of nature there, why do I want loud obnoxious music in a fly fishing video? Fish, water, and nature is enough!

The moment you've lost that big bow (possibly even rainbow of the season), shows the essence of the fly fishing. We are not always on the top of the game. Happy to see more subscribers coming along to your channel. I know how much efforts cost to produce a video. Congratulations my friend 👏 👏 👏

Real native rainbow trout are very beautiful. It is different from Japanese rainbow trout. Stunning River.

Hi Johan, thanks for the demonstration of handling the fish in the water and not in the air. I think that is the message we need to get out there as it’s not much point in putting the fish back for it to die because of our miss handling. Love that stretch of water and am glad to see those magnificent eels are still there. I could never understand why the pakeha are so scared of eels. Its not as if they were dangerous to us, not like fishing in Australia! Cheers mate. Harera

16:52 Absolutely worth the price of admission here.. HOLY SMOKES what a tip!!

Nice river and nice environment to fish in. You guys landed some lovely fish even if you missed a few. I've been fly fishing since 1988 and never had anyone spotting for me, though I often fish with friends. Very rarely a friend or another angler nets some of my bigger fish. It's just a different type of fishing here. Sometimes I'd fish within 20 meters up and down the river and catch fish there for hours. Rarely do I actually see the fish I'm about to catch. You guys look for fish and "hunt" for individual prey.

would've loved to eaten that first trout you caught. looked delicious.
