Thank you! I love the way you tell your story. It's so refreshing to see someone show the journey, not just the money shot. Makes it seem attainable for a normal angler with enough time.
were ya at waitahanui in taupo? by any chance ? they call the the picket fence river mouth. spent my whole child hood fly fishing and camping with nana and pop
A few things, North Island has incredible diversity of fishing from small slow flowing crystal clear water to open braided shingle rivers and fast flowing mountain torrents but most rivers are full of trout and easy if sometimes overgrown access. You will get scratched legs.
If coming to visit I recommend a copy of John Kents trout fishing guide there are 3 books NI, SI, and a tourist one covering whole country. If it was me I would get the first 2 and forget the tourist one.
Awesome. Im gonna do something like that in february. Found this video the day after planning this. how many other fisherman did you meet? at the water and at the campsides. thanks for the great content.
Have you by chance read the South Island Trout Fishing Guide by John Kent? I received a copy as a Christmas gift, and I simply can’t wait to go there. 😇
My man solo filmed a wet fly take on a 20" rainbow for his second ever new Zealand fish. What a legend. I'm emigrating to NZ in about a year with the whole family. Can't wait to call this beautiful place home.
Glad you enjoyed yourself in our beautiful country 🙂 many people find it interesting just how different the north island and south Island fishing is! It can be tough here, but perseverance is what makes or breaks us. Nga mihi and haere ra!
Which rainforest trail and river is it, that you visited near Hawkes bay?
You hiked the length of both islands? Bravo you madman
Unreal fish around the hr mark. Was stoked for you

Great Video Bud Thank You for sharing your Awesome Life Experience with Us 👍🏻
Great job, this video was very useful!
Could of had trout for dinner..
Totally over fished today. Time to protect them before they are on the endangered list, just like many trout and steelhead all over the World.

Wow – congrats Sam. Love it.

One Question: What "Silicone Pouch" do you use to put the fish in for some shots? Thanks in advance!

In Northern Manitoba, the browns are just as big and the fishing is way easier.
que lugar perfeito de pesca!

Was born in Rotorua but have been a Canadian citizen most of my life but sure feels like home. Great video you did an amazing job and am so jealous!
