Fly fishing in some of the best trout fishing water I have ever seen!

Alex and Shane hiked 6 Km into the top of a river system to get at some awesome Rainbows. All on the Nymph using strike indicators.

Nice spot, with the side-creek entering in just above where you are fishing. That bad boy was just lying up against that far wall sampling the buffet as it washed by. Great video.

the clearer the water the harder they fight. Beautifully played and gorgeous fish and surroundings - thanks for sharing - they're feisty !

[@rivergod21]

Hey HextyVision. yes the cleaner the water the more O2 it probably has in there. That means the trout will play harder and longer. Thank you for watching. Tight lines.

[@rivergod21]

Thank you my friend and yes all Back Country trout go free after a picture or two.

I wish I was doing that right now. Beautiful location and a couple of stunning trout.

Hey Jay. I hope you get some fishing in soon then. Be safe where ever you are. Thank you for watching. :)

This by far the best fishing video I have seen. No travel log, no posturing. Actually shows the strikes and no prolonged display of the fish.

Hey Man. Sorry about the lack of wild Trout over there. yeah they are a blast and the conditions make it special.

[@steve0sheetz]

i studied abroad in NZ for 4 months, traveled for 2 months. There are a lot of smaller trout that you'll catch as well especially in the highland crystal clear waters. Somehow, though, it does seem like there's a solo giant rainbow in every hole haha!

[@s.k.barbiyalbarbiyal165]

[@sticktrik]

The last Steelhead in the video was a nice size!! I wonder if he released it so he could catch it on another day!!

[@rivergod21]

Hey truthbetold.All my trout that I catch back country like this are released. It is too much of a fragile eco system to take fish from there. I would hate to put the massive amount of effort it takes to get in there, to find it empty of trout. Tight lines bud.

[@mrflydog]

The river river looks unbelievable, fancy sharing its location???

[@Cloudstrife112233]

Teorror87 Hey, I could catch 12 inch trout all day and be happy. I actually prefer the slightly smaller guys (14-16 inch). I think it's cause, normally, I run into more of them in one hole than the big guys. and I do love the hunt for the lunkers, but those smaller fish are what usually makes my day fishing worth it.

[@Jackson1969.]

flydog wish I could go fishing there looks fun

[@freetrailer4poor]

The population of New Zealand was 2.3 million in 1960 in 2017 is 4.69 million soon this will be a put and take fishery for 12" hatchery trout with power bait.

[@rivergod21]

Na bud, we have too many rivers like this available. We have more water than a rain forest.

[@rivergod21]

Hey mate. Yes in deep water like we were fishing I put a clip on indicator at the end of my fly line on the loop. Then we run a tapered leader down to 6 pounds Fluro of about 10 feet all up. I can fish without an indicator and yes sometimes it is worth doing but I do love watching that indicator get yanked under and sideways. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Rick. My best Brown weighed in at just over 12 pounds taken three years ago on the Tongariro river. I have pictures but don't feel the need to put up on McCloud.

[@rickmaston3355]

I was talking about a real resident brown caught on the McCloud...I have the best to challenge....but not in size but a river fish 20" long.

[@marksteffens4746]

Beautiful fish, beautiful place. I hiked 5 km into some private water on the North Island and was skunked - nice place though. Then I fished the Manawatu in Palmerston North 10 minutes walking from my brother's house and scored multiple rainbows in the 14"-18" range. Of course they probably latched onto the flies to get out of the gunk. You can never tell.

[@rivergod21]

Hey Mark. That is a huge walk in to get Skunked, I would have been mortified!! LOL on the Manawatu, that was a good comment. Be safe, tight lines, thanks for watching.
