Fly Fishing Heaven (New Zealand - Episode 4)

Join Tuva and Vebjorn exploring a big river delta, and a spring creek in their 2 days search of feeding trout. Clear water, and feeding fish makes this a true fly fishing heaven! #flyfishing #dryfly #fluefiske #newzealand #dryflyfishing #trout #troutfishing #trout #adventure #flycasting

Great work! My favourite river, even better if you drive right up (~40km).

[@slowrisemedia]

Yesh! What a nice spot! Little too crowded for us tho, so we didn’t spend much time there

[@berndziesche9770]

Nice footage. I like the releasing style. Too often I see: holding the fish dry + talking, talking, talking BEFORE releasing. Not here in this video. Here is quick release first and then talking. Well done both of you! Good catches in your future! 👌💪💯

[@slowrisemedia]

Hi! Thanks for the nice comment! Agree it’s a lot of that out there, especially for bass. We will continue doing what we do! Thanks again!

[@GaryP747]

I love your work, fly fishing evolution and doing the thing I should have done! Worst of all however, I have evoke smitten by your partner, the Viking Goddess! I shall be thinking of you both when I go to see Eivor in November! 🥰 Keep on trucking and making us see how beautiful life can be ✌️🥳💪

[@nicholasbehan5373]

Great videos I was there last year in the north Island. In the 4 th video. Were you in the south ? As I’m going again 2025 jan Tight lines

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot! Yeah episode 4 is on South Island!

[@struck2soon]

More really great filming, well done! (Oh, and good angling too.😉)

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot for that ☺️ we do our best with both filming and fishing 🙌

[@jozeftrnka4073]

That very perfect footage, well done!!!

[@slowrisemedia]

Thank you! We wlll try get even better!

[@johnanddebbydaniels7382]

Interested to know what weight and make of rods you are using 😅

[@slowrisemedia]

Hi! Sorry for the late comment, we have been far out of phone service the last couple of days. The brand is called arctic silver. And the model is called Fonna. We prefer the 6wt but we use the 5wt from time to time too! We like to carry two rods, and if we had two 6wt we would probably just use those

[@johnanddebbydaniels7382]

9 ft or bigger?

[@slowrisemedia]

@@johnanddebbydaniels7382 yes! 9’ both the 5wt and 6wt

[@alexredhat3476]

Amazing guys. Thanks for taking us on this adventure. Some incredible footage.

[@slowrisemedia]

You are very welcome my friend!

[@JazzAndFlyFishing]

Ahhh. Det der ser veldig hyggelig ut, takk for titten! -13 her, og leeeenge til neste vak…

[@slowrisemedia]

Off… bare hyggelig å kunne stille litt opp! Vi venter spent på at det dukker opp noen vak (og filmer) hos dere også. Tusen takk

[@nzadventurer]

Nice Footage guys! Great camera work with those lenses. If you need anyone to look after your camera gear until next season let me know 😜🏞️

[@hamishmaxa6509]

You guys are having a great time down there! I only just noticed the handles on the flyrods are different to cork handles that I'm used to. What make are the rods you guys use? Look interesting. Cheers

[@slowrisemedia]

Hi, and thanks for the comment! The company is called Arctic Silver Flyfishing. It’s based out of Norway. The handle is hollow, so the rod bends inside the handle. Pretty neat, and it gives the rod an unique feeling when casting and fighting. Go check it out!

[@hamishmaxa6509]

@@slowrisemedia Thanks, I will! Yes I was guessing it was to allow the butt of the rod to move inside the handle there. Some outstanding footage/slow-mo too. Looking forward to following the rest of the trip. Tight lines :)

[@capchurnaychur6614]

nz is definitely a trout heaven south island definitely known for its browns

[@slowrisemedia]

Absolutely! 100% agree!

[@capchurnaychur6614]

Awesome footage too u shooting on a Sony ?

[@melvinrowe9012]

Ben there done that many many times

[@slowrisemedia]

It’s a wonderful place!

[@surrebua]

Veldig moro å følge dere nå som vinterhelvete er på sitt værste her i Norge! 👍😂

[@slowrisemedia]

Utrolig hyggelig at du følger med! Vi tar i et ekstra tak nå som det er spesielt tøft hjemme ja 😅

[@timkeir6467]

Early morning you will find fish on the edge,they move out to deeper water as the day warms up ,try a fly called the blow fly ,great filming and thank you, caught up with your reply about the arctic silver rods,cheers Tim

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot for the info! We will get back in that area one day for sure!

[@timkeir6467]

You guys rock, having such a blast here,tell me about the grip on your rods i like the look of the technology. Cheers Tim

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot for the nice comment! You should check out the arctic silver fly fishing brand. The rod bends inside the handle. It give the rod a super cool feeling to cast and fight fish!

[@jawson37]

Yes you're right that if they're leaping out of the water like that they will be taking damsels or dragons. Am enjoying your trip, you guys are catching some great fish.

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot for the info! Last year we were fishing rainbows in a lake in BC Canada and they jumped like that, but to get rid of lice. But I believe you that here it is due to damsel/dragons

[@timothywelch4371]

Love the videos. I am from the US and headed to the South Island next week. Any streams you recommend?

[@slowrisemedia]

Hey! Cool! Thanks a lot. Well depending on where you go, we can probably help you out a little on the way! Shoot me a DM on Instagram or so

[@sghitza1]

I'm pretty sure that net has a scale incorporated in the handle.

[@slowrisemedia]

Hey! Thanks for the comment. This is one of them without scale. McLean sell them both with and without. Me and Tuva have owned at least 5 of them over the years, and the scale is most often wrong, or gets wrong over time. Therefore we use a digital weight instead

[@sghitza1]

@@slowrisemedia 😂 didn't even know they sell without a scale. Not in the US.

[@IngeSætran]

Er imponert over filmingen deres, helt nydelig. Jeg og en kompis skal til Omarama til helgen, og skal være i området i 3 uker. Håper vi også får noen fine dager der. Dette er vår 6. tur til området, og vi trives der. Den første turen vår var i 1985, så vi begynner å dra på årene 😁

[@slowrisemedia]

Så utrolig hyggelig å høre! Ja helt fantastisk! Må nesten si at alle stedene vi har vært til nå har vært utrolig fine.

[@Christer_Nannestad]

Helt magisk

[@slowrisemedia]

Tusen takk! Da har vi gjort noe riktig! 🙌 vi lærer vi også!

[@steelheadize]

try using a net retractor hanging off your back. the net will always be there when you need it

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks for the comment! We will make sure to do that!

[@iwalkriversiwalkrivers9424]

Wicked good episode. Always long lense.

[@slowrisemedia]

Hahaha, I knee it!

[@Trippy_NO]

[@slowrisemedia]

Haha, luckily it’s a lot of bad weather on nz atm, so there is plenty of time for editing!

[@JohanCharles02]

Rå episode.
