It's been many many years since I've been over that hill Clay, or up the Cobb. Man you are making me homesick for good Kai every time i tune in. As a child we moved from Murchison to Puponga, and the old mans garden was raided by the damned wekas. They neatly layed the plants down in a line, where they had pulled them out of the soil. He reckoned they were sadistic little bastards. O.o Have you ever been to the coast out back of Mangarakau Clay, there used to be heaps of crays out there way back in the 1970s. Huge crays, so numerous we could just pull them out of the rock holes, without even getting wet.

[@ClayTallStories]

Never been there. Sounds awesome

[@shaunmccaw2911]

Simon the man with all the gadgets they wee birds taking your shit funny as bro 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@sickerOr]

Wekas are so funny :D

[@amskee1]

Ride with me is an awesome tune!

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks mate. I wrote that one about a mate of mine 'Ray' who is a cowboy in the true sense. Every time He gets knocked off his horse he gets back up again, dusts him self off and tears back into life.

[@iain79]

That was a great trout you caught clay, shame about you losing the spinner 👍

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks 👍

[@TriggeredFishing_NZ]

Yes recently went up to the cob caught a few rainbows in on the fly rod and cooked one up and the taste is so good they taste good the ones up there.

[@kevinhoward7194]

That bedrock looks amazing

[@denaredford6701]

Those wild looking chickens are thieves 😮 😊. That’s a crazy little camping trip . Beautiful trout that you caught .

[@scottyschofield3492]

Premo bro gotta love camping and fresh trout too much

[@22melp]

This is the one was looking for shot bro.

[@ClayTallStories]

I hope you make it up there sometime mate. That was an epic wee mission. That lake is packed with rainbow trout.

[@blocka58]

I spent 41/2 years at the Cobb. Taught my boys how to fish there. Mate that fish would have gone back. Too small. Still each to his own. Love the Cobb and one day will get back there.

[@faze65churrchurr17]

Yeah I thought he would of pit it back to grow bigger

[@officialWWM]

Where I come from, that would be a trophy, lol.

[@ClayTallStories]

I have fished that dam since I was a boy and never had much luck pulling anything out bigger than a 1 pounder. I must be doing something wrong Paul? Any suggestions?

[@blocka58]

@@ClayTallStories Well Clay, its been over 40yrs since I lived at Cobb. Use to walk the length of the lake. If you know where the original dam is, that's the place. Had more luck there than at the head of the lake. Thanks for the video, it brought back a flood of memories. Fly fishing is the way to go and check what is flying around ie cadis nymphs etc. Later on in my career with the NZED I moved to Turangi and fished the Tongariro system, now ya talking big trout.

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Nice 😊 mate

[@saman2169]

You are wonderful ❤️ 💖 ♥️ 💕

[@debramage739]

Wonderful, lads own adventure. Those darn wekas, as bad as kea's. You and Simon had a blast, sorry but his set up was cool. Lol 😆. Mmm tasted the trout.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

The lake and landscape is amazing, as is the scoff mate. Great times. BTW, Tony and Co. are a great team, love their channel also.

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks Moose.

[@kingding8569]

Bloody paradise clay looks nice there!

[@jackiewilliams8543]

You always make me hungry bro

[@ClayTallStories]

Sorry!

[@SuperBC10]

Love this. Superb content 👌👍

[@paulhayden9142]

I love ur videos mate

[@joshualeelee577]

Another awsome video what a wicked 24hrs away that would of been . The morning song from the birds. And what a insperatiinal set up simon has

[@tommhowcroft8291]

We were in Abel Tasman and wekas stole someone’s bag of food and our coffee and in the elephant grad there was so much stuff by the wekas nest

[@officialWWM]

Just another day in paradise...

[@80Jwm]

Some awesome country mate.

[@shoutatthesky]

A weka stole my titanium cooking pot at the Heaphy Hut campsite. I had just arrived and unpacked my gear onto a picnic table. The pot was still in it's bag and filled with food. Went for a quick walk to the river - maybe a hundred metres away - but by the time we returned it was gone. Searched all through the surrounding bush but no sign of it!! I loved that pot. I bought it in Christchurch and walked with it all the way to Cape Reinga only to lose it to a cheeky bloody weka! Still, I think they're great birds and it's great to see 1080 having such a positive effect of their population numbers.

Cool vid pal. Love wild camping 👍

[@kalebtuaeu6308]

Kia Ora Clay loving the videos....Top shelf stuff 👍👍👍

[@nathanmcdonald7331]

Those weka bro could be like the bower bird over here in Australia. Trying to impress the female weka to their domains. Lol!

[@gart9680]

Can't believe you're spinning for trout. You kiwi heathens you. 😆

[@ClayTallStories]

Yeah sacrilege I know but there is nothing classy about the way I gather my tucker mate.

[@spike24-12]

Wicked bro

[@nicktman]

Awesome vid mate....man those fish looked good

[@ClayTallStories]

cheers bro

[@johncheese5233]

In British Columbia, Canada the fly rod is the BEST way to catch rainbow trout. Spinners and spoons work too but flys always win. It’s funny how fishing differs across the world depending on what the fish eat

[@ClayTallStories]

I reckon I could pull a few fish out of that dam with the right fly

[@mistymorning]

Been waiting for this one Clay used to fish there in the 90s stayed in the old hut just up the hill off the road. Is it still there caught rainbows on the traffic light Toby's smoked them under an old wool sack and a bit of corrugated iron to keep the heat from melting it 4 hrs later they were bloody beautiful . Wanted to hunt for deer but there was bloody 1080 everywhere so stuck to the trout .Only had two trips in for a couple of nights so thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@ClayTallStories]

Not so many deer up there now but the trout are prolific to the point they need culling I reckon. They are eating each other

[@ranimoran939]

Clay mate love the trout fishing videos please do more

[@ClayTallStories]

Will do

[@hayden6159]

good stuff clay 👌🏻👌🏻

[@rossphillips7128]

[@dovahking5991]

Thanks for another goodie bro and I really appreciated how you pronounced that place name properly. It may not mean anything to most people but as a Maori it means a lot to us and shows that your willing to know and say what is right. Keep up the good mahi bro

[@ClayTallStories]

[@TheRubenGalvan]

Are the EELS protected there?

[@ClayTallStories]

I am not sure but just moments after I filmed this one Simon and I saw three young fella's carrying it dead on a pole stretched out on their shoulders. I would have left it as it was about 60 years old and a breeder. It looked like a short fin too.

[@PS-Straya_M8]

Wekas... the NZ equivalent of the magpie 😁

[@gavinnz7482]
