FISHING Spectacular NEW ZEALAND River

[@deanhamilton1908]

I don't think I'm saying anything that anybody doesn't already know but you are really setting the gold standard for this type of fishing video. Your camera work along with timing and your music make this an experience that's not only enjoyable but it leaves you with a hunger for the next one. let's not forget the fish. Absolutely breathtaking . Keep it up Alex.....

[@alansandybulmer4877]

It just gets better and better Alex. Brilliant stuff. You take us there with you. Loving it.

[@The_Westward_Scout]

Bro this is the best video you have ever made. Shows the highs and lows, the happiness of finally getting off the skunk, and the enjoyment of being with a buddy on the water. As always thanks for great videos.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks so much man. Stoked you liked it.

[@Flyfish406]

You boys crushed it with this one. The camera work and the quality of fish you brought to hand were unreal. I haven’t cast a fly in over three months because life is getting in the way, but videos like this keep my head in the game. Keep ‘em coming!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Stoked you enjoyed this one man, having JP there helped so much as he is a gun with the camera as well as the fly rod💪

[@waitakifly]

Great to see JP ditch the Schneidernein with a beautiful trout! Fantastic work Alex, another enjoyable, envy-making vid.

[@freddymartin7664]

Marvellous fishes welldone ... that make my day in your gorgeous nature Z. Z. Z

[@njg5942]

Like many others, I am drawn to your channel by how well you capture the magic and majesty of cold-water streams, and, of course, the excitement of catching large trout. For some time, however, I have been conflicted between the thrill of catching fish, and not wanting to harm them. For me the high points of your wonderful videos are watching the presentation (of flies), and waiting with bated breath for the indicator to go under, or dry fly to be taken (also the drone-shot riverscapes, which for me could comprise the entire video, BTW!). These never get old. But then I fast forward through the fight, and when you hold up the fish before release, I remind myself that those sequences are shot in slo mo. I have learned a lot from your videos about minimizing harm (and much else). Increasingly, though, I fish with flies from which the end of the hook is removed (leaving about 90% of the bend intact). The intent is to retain the reward and excitement of bringing a fish to the fly, without actually hooking it, not for long anyway. This omits what for many is the best part (used to be for me too). These days, being Out There, and the challenge of presenting a fly successfully, are enough for me. To others who may have modified their approach to reduce stress and injury, I’d be interested in any views and practices to those ends.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Maybe I’ll go to those lengths one day bro and I applaud you for doing such a thing. I respect what you are doing right there as I sometimes struggle with what we do as anglers but I am still not quite ready to give up the fight and the chance to spend a moment with that fish and admire it up close before watching it swim away.

[@johnkovacs2388]

Gr8, to see you back, producing another gr8 video. Congrats on the PB bro! What an awesome trip! Can’t wait to come over to NZ sometime soon and have a crack in the rivers, very different to Tassy lakes which do have their day, particularly when hatches are happening. Thanks guys for some cool footage and fishing. Chin chin😊

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Still posting on Patreon on the regular bro if you have $5 a month..

[@PatrickSeanEarl]

Ran across this video this morning while having my coffee. Right now here in Alberta it's about -20 ,not to mention the windchill. Needless to say I'd rather be there than here ! That being said can't wait until spring. Thanks for taking us along.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks for watching! 💪

[@jamesstephen7640]

Wow what a place scenery fantastic and that big brownie has got to be one of the best I've seen yet. Fishing can be cruel at times but you get there in the end I will say it again you are totally spoilt down there what a place.

[@danielcline7413]

Thanks putting the shot on the tag end you are a bonafide genius!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I have my moments!!! Unfortunately, there are long periods of being a moron in between…!🙂

[@MrMandelll]

What a beautiful river, with beautiful fish, beautifully filmed. Can just dream about experience something like it in these times. Thanks for shareing Alex :)

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Happy you enjoyed this one buddy.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I always have some with me bro!!

[@scottearlsmithFTC]

Best fly fishing channel I've seen. Love your videos. Your sense of humour and enthusiasm make it so fun to watch. Fished NZ north island once so I can relate... and be very envious at the same time.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

[@ericyamashita7273]

Awesome footage and some amazing fish. As Deadpool would say, "maximum effort!". Well done.

[@carlchambers617]

Stunning river, stunning fish. Glad to see JP finally breaking the drought. Alex, do you know what they call a waterproof hip pack with the zipper partially opened when you go for a deep wade? A bucket.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Yeaaaaaaah you’re right there buddy. I broke it at the beginning of the trip and had to make do til I got home 😄

[@andrewknowles163]

As a lifelong South Island flyfisher this video is solid…..lots of walking/beers/problems before the fish show up. Also living the trashstash (got the orange one as well!) Keep doing what you do bro!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I take that as a compliment!! Glad it comes across well to anyone watching this that it doesn’t just come easy!!

[@gordiebrown4878]

Wow , great vid , those fish are incredible, and all fish “ nothing hurt but their pride” great job fella’s👍👍

[@big1dog23]

This was a classic.

[@justinlemasters3429]

Mate!!! What a way to stick it out. Great fishing and great fish after a few misses that “went for a stroll” all over the damn river. Love the result! Good on you and J.P.! Cheers Alex!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Awesome bro!! Stoked you like this one so much!

[@peterbagshawe2534]

Great video Alex, nicely done JP. Thanks.

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Great fishing! Thanks for allowing us to tag along!

[@terricamp8757]

Whoa, way to work it on that first fish with the cool, massive jaw! A slight tanty, nasty, wet lollies, gorgeous water, some wicked, beautiful fish and, amazing clouds over the mountains, what a perfect day even with the lost fish.. Super cool video, way to go boys!👏🏼👍🏼🍻

[@TrippinOnTrout]

You pretty much summed it all up there Terri😂

[@briljantje9583]

Brilliant browns. 👌

[@mattholt3585]

Bro those browns are huge!!! We do not get those big wild browns much when fishing in PA. Such a beautiful place too. Enjoyed your cinematography and drone shots. Great fish'n. If you ever come to Florida, you have a bed and guided fish awaiting. Tight lines mate.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words and the offer!! I really want to get to the States when we can travel again. Maybe DM me so we are in touch…💪

[@southcanterburyoutfitters4511]

Just goes to show the worlds best can go through the ringer have a bad patch but persevere and stick some real pigs! Great work brother, world class as always

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks bro, legend!!

[@troymiller885]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

[@13jonnyray]

That water looks unreal!! Thanks for sharing!

[@ddeboy002]

those fish are crazy big and so calm when you release. Shows you handle the fish well.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Yeah it makes a difference to how they behave aye..

[@tomrivera8480]

Lmbo!! As flyfishermen (or women) how many times do we say "you gotta be kidding me!!" when we're out on the water!?😆 As always thanks for continuing to put out better and better stuff, much appreciated!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Cheers Tom💪

[@craigng4483]

Amazing water mate, stunning fish and a happy JP

[@shayn4220]

Epic video , those river shots are beautiful

Absolutely stunning video!

[@flytyermaine]

Unbelievable fly fishing and photography.

[@kenarmstrong2903]

Some really nice fish Alex. Awesome river

[@Nick5Riley]

What a way to end a trip! That river looked gorgeous! And a solid fish to break the streak on as well! Solid! 👊🏻

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Yeah JP deserved those fish alright!

[@hiphopodense]

Wow, what a day.. Beautiful fish😍

[@pablovegvari559]

Great one!! One of your best! Now I know why you call the channel "Trippin on Trout" 8:20, jaja

[@TrippinOnTrout]

😂😂

[@TriggeredFishing_NZ]

Mann those trout are amazing great video loved these episodes so awesome

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man, good stuff 💪

[@williamt2951]

Damn fine video, guys! Before Covid hit we were planning a trip to New Zealand and to do some fishing. Hopefully, things will open up so I can fish your beautiful rivers. Which island were you fishing on? My wife watched the video with me and asked why I was laughing, told her every fisherman I know that has a beauty of a fish on starts talking to the fish and themselves in some primoral ritual so they will successfully land the fish. Thanks again for posting. William Phoenix Arizona

[@steveg8322]

Magnificent, period.

[@MonsterHill]

So beautiful, the environment here is really good 😍

[@Chricke87]

Some world-class editing on this video man, really love to follow along on your adventures!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks heaps man!

[@marcmulholland1017]

Love your work Alex ... Another fantastic video

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Cheers bro!

[@stevenlycke2784]

Yup great video. I'm sure everyone appreciates the time you put into these productions. The quality of the video and editing.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks so much bro!

[@andrewbrickhill4096]

Alex this is such a fantastic video. The fish were amazing and the river magnificent- It brought many a smile to my face. I wish I was with you! The camera work and editing is superb. I suspect you have a new camera because the Video is just quality! 👌 I am looking forward to your next vid!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks so much bro! Been working really hard to up my game. Glad it’s showing in the content!

[@acanj1]

Awesome big browns

[@PeterBeringerFishingSlovakia]

Another Cooool Video 💪🐟🎣💎

[@agustincoss7209]

LMAO the Beer "Salud" at the end great way to close out the vid.

[@rod182]

Excellent fishing. Makes me excited for my upcoming new zealand holiday. Can I please ask what river you are fishing in

[@billurban7197]

Another awesome video. 👌

[@jeffprice4611]

Dude, if your fish get any bigger you’ll need to tie a cast net onto a hula hoop to land them. That river looks amazingly clear. Thanks for sharing.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Haha, beautiful water aye!!

[@TheTroutFlyFisherman]

What a place! Great video bro 👍🏻🎣

[@christergoransson177]

Fantastic as always, you are cruel mates🤙🏻

[@poundsoftrout5617]

Nice river.

[@timkeir6467]

Massive day guys Brownie point's all round 👍

[@rosiestein209]

When jp finally netted that fish I actually cheered. 😁🙌🙌🙌

[@kenlloyd5195]

great video with quality fish

[@premorandazzo3929]

Good stuff💪🏻👊🏻🤙🏻!!!

[@kevindrums1]

With JP’s knowledge he should pack the car lol That first fish was just awesome. Big fins. Jaw! So New Zealand Just a great video

[@nicklenz7930]

Why did you start using the recon series of orvis

[@johnfinn3756]

Epic river and fantastic production as usual. Apart from covering up do you use anything to deter those massive sandflys. Have had some tough times on the West Coast with them.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Nah bro, I just cover up and put up with them

[@jamesstephen7640]

Wrote my last comment before seeing the rest of the vidio. Man what a place never seen so many beasts in my life just epic

[@jackkingsborough1898]

Stunning fish in there ay bro

[@TrippinOnTrout]

[@davegifford3198]

Super Rad as usual!

[@zanepritchard3600]

Beautiful river

[@thomasanderson3785]

Awesome

[@chrisknox3325]

Awesome video as always. Has this been a guided trip throughout? Sometimes wonder if they are or not. Lot of $$$ if it is.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Nah bro, JP is my buddy and we were just fishing together💪

[@larryhudgins6988]

Heck yhea, JP, I was pulling fer ya.

[@andrewshearer6122]

Brilliant guys great video... what polarised glasses do use guys use

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I use Skeleton Optics these days and I’m not sure what JP is running…
