An Introduction To Fly Fishing - Catching NZ's BIG Rainbow Trout

In this video I take friends Mokoia and Te Aaio Fly Fishing and put them onto their first Tongariro Rainbows. Covering the basics of casting, fly selection and most importantly how to play a fish!

glad he got one in the end. first fish is always special.. good tips too man :)

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

Yea was great. Was also super stoked to see Aaio walk back upstream with a fish while he'd been on his own.

Nice, always exciting getting that first fish, even the first fish of a trip as well.

[@amusingfishing]

Most parts of the world are covered with water and there are many fish. The work of a fisherman is easy: choose the best parts. Great fishing man. Keep it up.

Nice video mate! I've never done fly fishing before but I enjoyed watching that. Well done of your first Trout too

[@DeerToFishNZ]

Good video bro showing the basics for beginners 👍

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

Thanks!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

nice man and such a quiet location too

[@CJfishing-bb4vc]

Awesome just subbed. tight lines!

[@TheOilfieldbaby]

The only thing better catching your first fish with a guide is catching your first fish on your own. Keep at it.

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

Very true!

[@YukionChannel]

Great video. I have subscribed to your channel 😀👍

[@MrRickyjt]

shot mate its good to see some content , have to catch up for a mission

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

Cheers bro, had a bit of a drought there for a bit. For sure, maybe a lower river mission

[@temosimmons837]

Whos that caramel fella with the beard uso? Definitely seems like a smegle

[@camgray6803]

Great vid, how much longer will the Tongariro be fishing well for this year? Cheers

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

The winter runs have come to a gradual end but the summer fishing in the Tongariro is great too. Can have a lot of fun with the dry fly’s to rising fish as well as hedging your bets with a dry dropper rig. As you as you change to summer style fishing you’ll do well.

@@OnTheFlyNZ You been getting any luck on the dry flies lately?

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

@@user-id2eb4pj2w Only in the evenings after a sunny day. might actually see if anything happening tonight...First nice day we’ve had all week.

[@petersmith8627]

nice work, my daughter (12) caught her first fish just below grace rd water loading

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

Awesome! Good on her! A very useful cast for any fisherman/woman!

[@sarahtapsell265]

Great video I'm interested to learn how to fly fish if I buy me some secondhand gear is there someone keen to take a beginner out?

[@OnTheFlyNZ]

Go for it, great sport! Hopefully someone can get you set!
