Fishing Wild Trout under the remote waterfalls of Tasmania!!

I'll be hiking into a remote creek in northern Tasmania fishing for wild trout in one of my favorite spots to fish. It'll be a solo trek six kilometers upstream through a rocky gorge and into the upper regions of the creek where there's a series of waterfalls. It's been to long since my last adventure captured on film, I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did, until the next one tight lines and bent rods.

Nice work my boy your passion is refreshing 👏🏼

[@tassiegirl50]

Oh can’t wait to watch it!! Tonight’s movie 🍿🥰

[@rodgeorge7244]

Well done Will it's great to see young guys like you having a go at angling on KZbin and showing other young people that anything is possible.

[@chrissinclair3017]

Well done Will and thank you for sharing that lovely piece of country with us

[@Berndaddie]

Great job. You got some biggin'

[@walter2990]

Fours years fishing this stream, and on your bike, after school! You remind me of me, before I discovered girls. Not many girls enjoy what you're doing, but keep doing you, and the ones worth pursuing will find you, my young friend!

[@simsjef]

Wow, what a fishing adventure you took us on. The scenery is just incredible and I got several screen shots of the area. You do well with the camera.

[@dodgeit3014]

Will you need to get out there with your dad and get some of that gold! Awesome video

[@lyndonwinter5000]

Nice work young Fella

[@tassiegirl50]

Great vid Will, it’s wonderful you enjoy the outdoor beauty so much. The creek is low… you’re sooo good & acurate at casting… Gramps said he’d probably snag it every time 🙃😁 me too. You sure did get a few ‘thumpers’ good job 👍🏻 Love hearing the birds & those falls are very beautiful. 💙🩵💙 A very long time since we saw them… Grandmas glad you enjoyed your egg sandwich. 😊 Lovely trip for you…. Thanks for sharing it 🌿

[@billdgen116]

Looked like a amazing day fishing. They taste so good over a camp fire. Be safe ✌️ 🙏 thank you for the video nice work.

[@markferguson8075]

you can thank your old man for me subscribing and yes I love fishing

[@christopherraley8723]

Beautiful fish and river

[@peterreidy603]

Not sure if your dad taught you how to make the vids, but your professional quality of work is wonderful. You are an excellent fisher and have an obvious passion for the sport and conservation for the fish . Those two big fish were a great surprise and very unexpected in such shallow water. Well done, please keep them coming .

[@claudiodippolito5686]

Outstanding Will Beautiful video

[@johnholloway2118]

Awesome mate ,thanks dad for the link cheers

[@AngeWyndstorm]

Beautiful area

[@gregmottram292]

Hey Will top vid, good storey and filming/editing. I’ll have to watch your others. Watch out you don’t fowl hook the old man!

[@troygerencer1620]

I was thinking the same thing , he might think he hooked up on a black platypus splashing arround in the water only to find out "Oh no , sorry Dad" while he's sniping ! 😁

[@akeman21]

Great work Will, your dad must be proud of you. 👍

[@dodgeit3014]

Man, it’s absolutely beautiful there 15:36

[@samdunbar7259]

Definetly not the biggest, but those fish may be the most beautiful little guys ever!! Must be the water?!?!

[@dadbosworth6838]

Great video Will ,thanks for sharing

[@tullysika]

Great video, keep them coming

[@hodgeyoffroad761]

Great video Will got some very good sized fish for the water definitely a bonus seeing the freshwater lobster

[@geneturk2299]

Nice fish and a great video

[@goldsniper2681]

Nice work mate!! 🎣🎣

[@Mrflynlow]

Beautiful water but very spooky conditions, you did a nice job of video. That river would be perfect to fly fish. Use an 8 1/2 ft rod for a 3 weight line,

[@donross93]

Great vid but those trout will live longer to catch another day if you don't let them bang around on the rocks and pick them up with wets hands so you don't knock all their protective slime off of them. just saying. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful stream trout spot.👊

[@PhillzillsStudio]

Great video Will. Will share with my son Dylz

[@gregmottram292]

Also black cockies are my favourite birds.

[@lyndonwinter5000]

I was cheering for ya

[@judithtaylor6916]

Great video Will. Lovely countryside. Levi left the link. You are a chip off the old block as the saying goes. We are in Tassie from SA at present. Trout has a muddy taste? We do only coastal fishing /crayfish.

[@easer777]

Great video, You'll need a net though, because the protective layer of slime on the fish is damaged by the rocks, and for the same reason, You'll need to wet Your hands before You touch the fish.... - Oh, and You'll need a peang also, to help You release deep set hooks....;- )

[@danbrent4618]

Awesome job Will! I love to fish too Will! Will I really want you to try fly fishing, you can get a simple starter rod everything ready for you. I think your going to love it! Dan Brent from California

[@Noosile]

Looks like an awesome spot, would love to get the fly rod out there!

[@brettchatwin7788]

Great video Will. I offered earlier this year to come down Burnie way to fish my local water in a yak and chase 3/4 pound trout. The offer still stands if you are interested.

[@islandwoodsie4519]

Mate, thats a Cold blooded/water fish. Laying them on those hot rocks is probably like going in the skillet to him. Maybe try and keep em on the wet sand or whatever? Other than that, yeah i am Glad yer Pappa sent me. Keep up the good work.

[@robertgreen5981]

Great video ! Lovely fish. Amazing scenery.

[@Silligoose501]

Great vid!!! Nice job there.

[@ianmoone2359]

You are a lucky lad Will Triffit, to have that trout creek at your back door. Tell your dad you need an “enviro trout net” to land your trout. Dragging them up onto dry rocks & gravel removed their protective coating of slime - and that can allow a freshwater type of mould to grow on those scars spots which will eventually kill them. The enviro net that protects them for catch & release. You can buy a spring loaded brass clip that goes on the mouth of the net, the second half clips to the back of your fishing vest, and you clip the net to it and it hangs at your back. When you hook a good one and reel it in, you just reach your free hand behind your back, grab the net handle and pull, the spring catch lets go and you net & release your fish, then clip the net back on and rinse & repeat. Next we need to teach you to fly cast & fly fish for trout.

[@FpsPhil]

Good vid my guy👍, just a small piece of advice u could use a small hand net just so u don't stress the trout when u landing them

[@gillianrodgerson5399]

Thanks, Will! Really enjoyed that! Greetings from Canada

[@myhandyman1]

I will keep looking out for your vids. Chicago IL.USA

[@ryanhenro7649]

Good job mate 👍

[@buckshotprospector]

great video and edit will man you have some nice looking nature out there big trout to. Great video keep going

[@troygerencer1620]

Well done mate . That's my kind of fishing here in Victoria , finding the satisfaction of catching good size Trout in small crystal clear streams can't be beat . Leave no pool or run without fishing it my friend . They must be hungry fish there , where I am they would be more easily spooked out in the open like that , needing to approach them under more cover . Great video work 👍 Enjoy .

[@terry8728]

Great vid Will! I could see the school of trout despite the glare on the water. Yesterday I found a crayfish the same size as yours in a nearby creek, only ours are bright blue so easy to spot. Endangered and protected, so no eating, thankfully. They are grumpy buggers, not sure what the Tassie ones are like!

[@hardyakka6200]

You are living the life, Leo. Good to see. I hope any snakes you encounter know they are only allowed to bite your gaters. Curried egg sangas with a wee bit of lettuce in them are in fact yum. You sound like Tob Parsons Must be a Tassie thing.

[@KevinAxt-om5on]

Some really nice trout you caught. Low water conditions for sure. Always surprises me where fish will hang out sometimes.

[@stevehunter523]

Nice fishing trip and beautiful wilderness. I watch your dad's videos and he's a great prospector so I herd about you and your fishing videos and I think you are doing great. Good job man. Your videos are awesome keep up the great work 👍

[@88njtrigg88]

Geart video, l was hoping that you'd attest cook one.

[@johnjacobs1625]

Very Nice Will!! Some Nice Fish and great scenery. Thanks 4 sharing your adventure! Regards JJ

[@SherylThompson-l7v]

Hello. Great to see you out fishing. Did the same when I was younger. Here in British Columbia Canada we have strick rules on hooks. Single barbless. It's much easy on the fish apon release. Ditch the barbed treble hook. You will have more people watching your great vids. You will be setting a great example for others. Tight lines Will.

[@GRUMPYOLDSURVEYOR]

Beautiful country side

[@jeffmil8207]

Beautiful country Will and good job with the fishing. Those brown trout are big. Your video reminds me of my fishing trips to the Sierra Nevada mtns in Calif. I did fly fishing. Thanks Will . . great video. 🤓

[@143DREWID]

Awesome day, beautiful hike, and amazingly plentiful and gorgeous trout. Dry hands = dead fish. Consider a pair of hemostats to clip onto hook and detach without touching fish at all, I do. Keep 'em in the water when removing hook or hooking oneself. Pinched barbs help considerably. Hold your breath while fish are out of water... same as they are. Bleeding gills usually = dead fish. It'll be belly up in about ten minutes, not much blood in a trout. I keep the bleeders and eat them which is not frequent, rest are(brook trout) catch and release. When water is so low they can see very far, I kneel and cast at lower base of pools before standing to reach the alpha fish location at the head of the pool. Additionally, trout may hesitate to hit the lure when spotting you on return, You see the spooked. I've seen the biggest turn away and wish I'd been kneeling and had terrain matching clothing like I do now.

[@donmeredith9762]

You slayed them! Great trip. I enjoyed watching

[@michellehoney5847]

Heh, well done young Will.. What a perfect place to live. That's a lot of trout in one day.. Great to be in the wilderness, where no one goes.. Your Grandma's egg sanga looked yummy 😋

[@raymondjohns7617]

It's hard for me to see a kid out there fishing on his own! Awesome. Keep it up. Thanks Ray

[@drc4228]

Great job with this video!

[@bigring5113]

Nice to reminisce about tassie! I did not realize the trout live to 6 or 6 years only. Keep it up

[@andrewbarry3789]

Great video Will always look forward to seeing them patiently waiting for the next one, good work 👍

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

That was insane Will the size of those big trout way the hell up in the bush talk about bye crikey bye jingo lol. Cracker job on the video with the drone shots and by your go pro I guess it was like watching one of your Dad's videos in a way. I was amazed at some of the geology and the variation with the water levels and the amount of trout as well. Bravo mate keep up the good work & stay safe 😁😉

[@troygunter1600]

Confident Attenborough composure backed up with reliable results and a couple of almost trophy size fish, great video Will. Nice to see a reasonable size crayfish, I havnt seen one for a long time. Good editing work aswell love your work.

[@aussiegoldfever]

Thanks for sharing your adventures and a great day fishing 👍🏿

[@Wolf-nv4tx]

Awesome Will! Thanks for the fishing trip! Due to a bad hip I have not been out fishing for two years.

[@GlennChristie-y8n]

Great vid Will and nice to catch-up with you last week . Keep up the good work and catching those nice fish . Looks like grandma also makes a mean egg sandwich so don’t let her get away 🤣❤️💙

[@willtriffitt_official]

Thanks uncle glen

[@Gaming.with.Benjamin]

Here from your dads video.. great video. Beautiful scenery

[@kurthoffmann9072]

Well done young fella. Keep up the good work. Best of luck

[@kevlemberg4269]

Great video Will, you bring back great memories when I trout fished as a kid. Looking forward to your next video. Love your Dads videos, but most of all love the view of the creek and pools from a fisherman's point of view. Look out Dad, the boys videos are coming along in heaps and bounds.🎣🦐🥪Only a GrandMa can make a great Egg sandwich👍

[@brendangrray8017]

Good stuff Will,, best fishing tip I ever got was for casting lures ,, if you are right-handed, change the handle and practice a left-hand retrieve,, feels weird at first, once converted you won't go back. Thanks and all the best👍👍

[@traceyneale5094]

Great content Will Triffitt. Still waiting for that Tassie catch and cook and come on… second to last caught was a beauty. Never seen your Dad catch and release a big nugget for the next person 🤷‍♀️. Enjoyed that a lot 👍

[@Bemvers1]

Great video. Love the way you talk with the thing in your mouth! Ha ha.

[@jasonhowman63]

Love this mate! I live in QLD now but can’t wait to get back home to do exactly what you are doing there mate. Unreal! You ever thrown surface cicada lures like the tiemco soft shell or duo shinmushi around those spots? I reckon those creek fish would smash them!

[@weedlboffer]

Excellent video Will !, great commentary, beautiful scenery , drone shots are awesome..... First time viewing (Thank your Dad) LOL AANNDD a subscription!

[@sharonmalone8312]

Very nice videos. I remember back 30 years ago my son use to take his pole down to the creek close to our house and spend hours catching and releasing the fish. He really enjoyed it. Great job!

Vừa xem ông bố của bạn. 2 bố con rất tuyệt vời

[@kirkpoland3468]

Nice. I'd like you to show me how to use a spin cast and I'd enjoy taking you to a river here in Arizona where I fish small mouth bass. Would have enjoyed more footage of the falls area, maybe a future video where you hike straight there & then begin fishing?

[@rockyperez2828]

Aw nice little trout you caught and also nice to see you catching and releasing the bigger ones so they can spawn a new generation of trout that you can come back out to catch in a couple years. What is your limit per day if you decided to keep them, here in Arizona USA our limit is a whopping 7 but some years it has dropped to 5 per day it used to be 15 but those good days ended in 2017

[@willtriffitt_official]

Your aloud to keep 12 fish

[@xthe_moonx]

if u can find a lure called a "lucky strike gem" give it a try. i catch brook and lake trout with it. #3 is what i use but im fishing in lakes(2-5lbs). u might want to try the lucky strike gem #2 or even #1 if u have really small river fish ur looking to catch. i also have a lot of luck with something called the EGB but they might not be made anymore. blue and silver little cleo works well too.

[@conn_man_9632]

Congrats on the fish Will! I am a tasmanian trout fisherman myself and would like to possibly know what rod reel and line combo you are working with. Tight Lines Mate!

[@willtriffitt_official]

Abu Garcia pmax 1000 sized reel and I’m running a shimano maikuro 3-6kg rod at the moment

[@outcastoffoolgara]

Maybe the scars on that fish were a lucky escape from bird of prey?

[@peppey_9345]

[@agrifoguy]

it would be more interesting if u fly fished it

[@Jackfpving1123]

First

[@davidhorsey7164]

Looks like a bird grabbed that trout its a beak mark

[@davidhorsey7164]

Sorry mate but I've fished a lot of years and straight up just from a glance at the footage you showed I thought a cormorant or something very similar made them scars as a trout bite mark is more triangular where the scars were longer and narrower together with what looked to be a hooked sharp end on the beak it wasn't from a set of tallons of say a white fish eagle as there's about 4 of them on each leg and I've seen cormorants grab trout before up to the size of that trout I'd say the trout was just big enough to kick around and break the birds grip esp if it was still in the water but a call to inland fisheries or pws would confirm it just talk to Rob or Levi before you do so so you know what not to say as we know they've had a few issues recently and you have them on call n say hi for me very Xmas n happy new year all the best tight lines bro your off to a great start I liked that film you did for just a bit of creak bashing you made it look great well done

[@rockyperez2828]

Come on now Will that ain't no lobster them are Crawdad's

[@andrewnorgrove6487]

Just need to learn to respect them not drag them across the rocks always wet your hands before handling fish to get a barrier between your skin and there's , but always Respect life and treat other forms of life as you would like to be treated if it was reversed, Brown trout can live upwards of 60 yrs , the enemy are big and little cormorants plus there parents ))
