HUGE Brown Trout SMASHES Streamer in Front of ME!!

[@thor_6886]

What i love about this series is how much it shows for your international viewers the difference between North Island blind fishing and South Island sight fishing - with all the frustrations the latter brings. I tried one summer holiday in the Buller region and went back north with my tail between my legs. You have to be very, very skilled to first spot, then actually catch fish in those rivers - and incredibly patient to not spook the fish. Look how many times you changed patterns to no avail, then FINALLY got an eat. They don't get that big by being stupid. And there's a lot of walking and bush bashing between chances. and you still managed to film lots of fishing angles, B roll of moths, drone aerials, the hut life etc. Well done, mate. Stunning stuff.

[@marlsounds]

THat's spot on, Thor_68 and I really hope this is fully appreciated. Over an hour on a single fish means a lot of chances to spook it. And your chances diminish quickly with every cast. The impact of the wind was perhaps understated. Casts needs to be highly accurate and soft landing, not easy in this tiger country.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man, appreciate everything you said there. So glad that it all comes across in the vids.

[@medinaminnows8675]

I am completely new to this I fish in Colorado and I love it but I have not learned that patience, watching the videos, and the fun you have with it all the way up to the catch! Watching this video in full as soon as he took off I dropped my iPad I knew you just won. I can’t wait to have that moment now!!!! Changed my whole out look and approach, thank you so much!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

@@medinaminnows8675 That’s so cool to hear man. Thanks for telling me that!! Stoked to have got you fired up. Just keep at it and put in the hard yards and it will happen eventually. Just make sure it’s fun!!

[@robertgallacher7214]

They don't get big by being stupid is true, but they also don't get that big by only eating tiny flies. Great bit of angling to try a much bigger and brash fly in that situation. Many anglers wouldn't even try that even as a last resort,if you do the same things everyone else is doing at best you can only expect the same results. Great film, excellent balance between what a day on this river actually entails, the sights and the stars of the show those beautiful trout themselves. They look very similar to the trout from my local River Leven and Loch Leven,only bigger :)

[@katylynch1163]

I love the time and effort you put in to capture not only the beauty of the fish you hunt, but also the beauty of the waters you fish. Your videos are a tribute to the love of fly fishing and to the nature that gives us all a place to pursue that love. Much respect.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

So glad that comes across in the Content bro. Thanks for commenting. 👊

[@alexabyronfujino8320]

I'm glad you added the part when your line got tangled. So relatable.

Im real good at that part!!

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching bro

[@chadmackley]

Love the arrows to point out the fish! When you talk about the fish taking a look, most of the time my untrained eye can't see anything so it's fun to see these beasts hunting in the clear water! Thanks again!

[@christergoransson177]

Fantastic fish you get on that Wolly Bugger, love it. Cred to you for your nice films, it almost feels like being there🐟💪🏻

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Great to hear you enjoyed it man. Thanks

Footage of the fish on the Wooly Bugger is excellent. This recent series of video's have all been fantastic. Really enjoying them. GREAT job.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Awesome man. Thanks for watching!!

[@THEMONVALLEYFISHERMAN]

Amazing shot of that bugger getting crushed! When I started fly fishing, I never changed flies lol since I’ve watched you and a couple locals from the states I’ve noticed you have to be versatile. Loving the videos lately.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Love that you have gained something from the vids too....super happy to help you improve🤙

[@barneyomulligan9739]

Thanks Alex, what a great trip, brilliant fishing and a really excellent edit. Keep them coming.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man, I will do!!

[@DGaydon]

Your persistence on that last fish was commendable! And the video you captured of that take got my heart racing - can't imagine what you felt in person!!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Awesome, thank you! It was super cool

[@russelrogers2540]

Got a good chuckle when I saw that worm. So many would not have even considered to use that. Another great video, beautiful country, and great fish. Wooly buggers are a great fly and resemble many different food items. Doing what it takes to get the job done.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Haha, getting desperate there bro!!

[@FiguringOutFishing]

How do you only have 11k subs? Your videos are on point. I would love to see tails of the fish you catch. It really adds to our perception of the size of the fish. I know it's harder to hold the fish that way, but for your audience it might be worth the effort.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I'll keep that in mind and try to remember. Hopefully the channel keeps on growing hard this year!

Best days fishing, are often the days you have to work hard on one monster Brown, just to keep throwing stuff you are less likely to ever use, then bam, out of the blue, a surprise take, and how often you can be to late on the strike. You nailed him, and what a reward he was, love your work, keep them coming. Worm imitation, and woolly bugger, every fisho' can learn so much from this vid!

Keeping it real as always.... spending all that time stalking setting up and then hook a shrub and have to go retrieve it right next to it happens too often to me, so glad to see it happens to the best. At least if that doesn’t spook it you have more licence to be less stealthy!

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

as always... enjoying the content in that prehistoric NZ. Question. When you're building your leader out...are you using only one tippet ring to connect your leader to your long tippet. Are you using that long tippet section to connect your first transport fly or nymph or are you tying on and tapering down more leader before that? I guess I'm wondering why you like using tippet rings vs just tying a knot to attach your leader to a long tippet?

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I use a tippet ring to connect my poly leader to the first part of my leader then blood knots from there

[@JoshEthanJohnson]

@@TrippinOnTrout I guess my question is this... why would you use a tippet ring once and then blood knots for the rest. What benefit does the one ring give you?

[@TrippinOnTrout]

@@JoshEthanJohnson the tippet ring means that each time I re tie my whole leader I’m not cutting into the length of the poly leader

I've spent hours throwing allsorts , badly, at a single trout. Most times the trout wins. Your woolly bugger looks different to what we call it..but it finally did the job. Do you wear neoprene leggings as opposed to waders and are the wading boots felt soled or more of a standard sole? Great vid, beautiful N.Z . Can't wait until I can fly out again from the u.k again. Looked a lot of fun on your skinny 5wt rod. I use a 4 wt for small rivers over here . Love the light , responsive flickability
