I've NEVER seen an Aussie trout stream like THIS....

[@jlush444]

Another great video, thanks Steve. Glad you found what they wanted after another tough start. Well done, and what spectacular water. Cheers mate.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Jonny! Yeah took me a little while to figure it out…😂

[@bertiebeetle525]

Lovely vid Steve, and great work with the music too!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Rob! Was great having a cameraman that’s for sure! :)

[@wasntPete]

A beautiful spot there Steve, plenty of fish and a challenge to catch them makes it all worth while. Well done on another great video.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Pete! Yeah it’s a cracking spot. :)

[@robertlouis24]

Thanks for sharing that absolutely stunning location with us - one to add to the list - high quality video production and skilful fishing - chapeau… Rob

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Robert! :)

[@Levisvalina]

Awesome video,definitely going to have to try and find this spot

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! :)

[@kennethgordon7885]

Awesome video Steve! I’m going to have to find that place😉

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Haha, pm me and I’ll tell you. ;)

[@rd2957]

So glad to see you get one! Sometimes we just have to give up the dream of the dry fly take 😂

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Haha! Yes for sure.😂

[@shaunfogarty5744]

Nice stream- great smooth casting!!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Yeah it's a lovely spot. :)

[@Troutmajor]

I was there a couple of days before you. Some of the best fishing I have ever experienced

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks David! Yes amazing fishing, such a high concentration of fish, pretty spooky though! :)

[@snaithobrodie]

Been swimming here before, seen a few snakes about these holes, the waterfall at the end of the trail is beautiful

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yeah there’s heaps of snakes all through the snowies, particularly copperheads…

[@PaulGordon-d9i]

Great edit Steve. I am impressed with the quality of the DJI Action 4 especially how it picked up the fly line movement which can be difficult to catch. Let’s do it again sometime soon with a combination of Sony FX’s and DJI.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hell yeah! Thanks so much mate, excellent camera work, made editing so much easier… :)

[@karl0000000000000000]

Absolutely gorgeous mate! Grew up in the snowy mountains! Can’t recognise this river at all? Any clues? 😅

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hi mate, PM me on Insta or FB..... ;)

[@rob3518]

Euro just turns the tables doesn’t it. Well done 🎣

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Yeah it’s a deadly technique no doubt about it. In hindsight I probably would’ve done better on the conventional rod if I’d tied a nymph on under the dry…. ;)

[@johanvandenbergh475]

Beautiful water, Steve.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Johan! Yeah stunning water, so clear! :)

[@markkelly5993]

nice one mate!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Ah cheers mate! ;)

[@trevorgreen2370]

Great video guys. You always highlight the changeability of trout fishing. Handy little net, can I ask what brand and if you like it? Thanks for sharing.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Ah thanks mate! Yeah the little net is a Mclean folding weigh net. I do like it for specific situations, it's great for bush bashing and small overgrown streams, as a full sized landing net can be a pain to drag through the bush. Only downside with it is it's quite small, wouldn't be great for landing a really large trout. It can be a bit fiddly to refold and pack away but I've sort of got the hang of it now. Overall yeah, it's a good net! :)

[@crissmith7087]

So lucky to have trout fishing in Australia no wonder they are the most popular freshwater sport fish in the world

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Absolutely mate!

[@dopefiendlarz133]

Thanks to colonialism trout fishing, soccer and golf have spread everywhere the English trod.

[@crissmith7087]

@@dopefiendlarz133 The whole world has been Colonised with so many different empires that have brought so many great things to other lands however Trout fishing isn’t simply just an English thing there are many other countries that have always had trout fishing to, including Japan and not by colonisation. All those things you mentioned are good things so not sure if you meant it in a negative aspect but only positive things here 👍🏻

[@dopefiendlarz133]

@ I absolutely meant that those were good things. And I should’ve said “flyfishing “instead of simply trout.

[@sketchyfishin]

hey what music did you use at 15:11

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hey mate, it’s all my own music, I’m actually a composer by trade. Played and recorded it myself. :)

[@sketchyfishin]

@@PeachyFlyFishing awesome , ive started making my own videos is it possible i can use your songs if i credit you cause they sound great

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hey mate, thanks! PM me on Instagram if you're on there and we can discuss it. instagram.com/peachyflyfishing/

[@craighill2086]

Amazing scenery nice clean river nz fisher some large fish in there first few minutes of video

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Yeah there were some pretty good ones there hey! :)

[@Troutmajor]

Great camera work

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Courtesy of our good mate Paul… ;)

[@jackavalon8366]

Looks like Cave Creek like it was in the early 70s, with a decent amount of water.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes good water levels and nice and cool too. :)

[@jaredklein3930]

Great vid mate! Your new camera man if definitely better than that other bloke with the beard that sometimes film.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hahaha! Yeah he did a pretty handy job with the camera I must say... ;)

[@phonotheque]

Moving to NSW from UK - This looks utterly beautiful. I have no idea where to start. is there anything like this within reach of Sydney?

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

There is trout fishing within reach of Sydney, and lots of opportunities for other species too. I suggest you join the Sydney Flyrodders Club, that’ll get you started with spots etc. Hope to see you at a club meeting! :)

[@phonotheque]

Thank you so much! I'll absolutely do that :) @@PeachyFlyFishing

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

i would recomend a 4wd to get to a lot of good trout fishing places as it being inaccessible by anything else means that a lot less people can get there, the places that I have seen and caught trout are places you can only get to by 4wd

[@petermauder2191]

@@darcybettenay_mtb Much appreciate the advice. 4x4 is definitely on the shopping list. Funnily enough I managed to pull a couple of beauties out of the Cox's river right on the Glenroy campsite stretch on the dry a couple of weeks back. Fairly tough going though. Thanks mate :)

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

@@petermauder2191 if you have a famaily, get a older cruiser (80 series, 100 series 105 series) and get a desiel, when you push them offroad or towing the fuel economy will be affected less like 10l/100 less on a desiel when pushed hard, got a 105 with a 1hz and towing our 2t camper trailer offroad (2mks in an hour) we where getting 25l/100 and towing on the highway we get about 20l/100 and just dirveing without the van its about 14l/100 and our cruiser is heavily modified. hope this helps, and good luck

[@jasonb4835]

Is this on the back of the caves? Along that walking trail

[@PooKan_VoolKaN]

This is what I thought

[@Chris-just-Chris]

It’s getting a pounding this year (on YT)!). Very quick fish.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes it is, there were a few others fishing it this day as well....

[@fishbowl925]

Yeh gettin flogged

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yep.

[@oliewray8357]

Yeah its a double edged sword really like it's nice to be able to mindlessly watch KZbin but it fucks a lot of spots up so basically one person can have a bit of self gratification

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

@oliewray8357 yeah it can be a double edged sword. I generally try not to identify spots, especially if they're small and sensitive water. Unfortunately this one is pretty recognisable, but I guess the only people who would recognise it are the ones who've been there already. But yeah, for sure too much attention can impact the fishing in a spot, I try to be mindful of that, not saying I always get it right though. I'd also say that at least for my part, my reasons for making videos are not just about self gratification. For me it's more about wanting to share a sport that I love so much, wanting to help other people to see how fun and rewarding it is, and hopefully have some success themselves. I hope that comes through in the videos. Thanks for watching mate. :)

[@davidream5175]

Are those snake chaps on your lower legs?

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes, snake gaiters. It get's pretty warm here in summer, too warm for waders but definitely still need snake protection.....

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

i think i know exactly where that is, was there a few months ago, once I saw the revine I was like:yep I think i know where that is.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yeah once you’ve seen that ravine there’s no mistaking it…. Thanks for watching! :)

[@matthewwhite876]

If ever there was a time for a super light or unweighted single nymphing, it was this day 😂😅

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Haha yep! I probably should’ve tried an unweighted nymph on the long dry fly leader! 😅

[@Jo33333]

It's a tough river! You need to put your hiking shoes on and head way down ! Access becomes very difficult and limited that's why the fish have survived and thrived ! It ain't no thredbo or encumbene river accessible!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yeah I really would’ve liked to hike down a lot further and explore, didn’t get a chance this time as we had a limited time window. Next time hopefully! Thanks for watching. :)

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

yep the way i got there was very much 4wd only, fastest way from Canberra

[@Troutmajor]

I’ll have to put my vid of tis place together

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Looking forward to it! 👍

[@lafabricaderecuerdosconser713]

For me, humbly without offending, in that situation of still waters and small spaces it is better to apply a different strategy that puts the fish less on alert. The line coming and going puts them on alert. Or I would use a very long leader, 5 to 6 meters, or a nylon line, which are transparent and do not alter that type of water. Very small tipet nymphs, very fine, but the most important thing is that they would not go over the line. I think that with that in a place so loaded with fish, more catches would be obtained. Sincerely.  Comentarios

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Yes I agree, your strategy is spot on. From memory I was using a very long leader (around 5.5m) and very fine tippet (7x), it was still very hard to catch the fish except up in the moving water. There were quite a lot of people who had been walking along the river, a few fishing, the fish were already very alert, but in the end I just needed to fish better to catch them! Thanks for watching. :)

[@ElApropiador]

Peachy what footwear have you got on in this video?

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

It's the Simms Flyweight Access boots (the newer model): bwcflies.com.au/product/simms-flyweight-access-wading-boots/

[@noysreyhoung]

You fish in a clear shallow water, wait until you get one trout😊😊

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

That's the plan! :)

[@damo.77]

Great spot there, unfortunately The powers that be in NSW are closing this whole area off.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

That’s terrible news! Was that to do with the culling they have announced or is it something else? Do you have a link to any info you could share?

[@damo.77]

They say it will be closed due to culling for five months or there abouts but this will be only the start of whats to come. They want all national parks shut, same thing is slowly happening here in Vic unfortunately.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes there are some troubling developments recently that's for sure...

[@grahamnield7716]

The npws have been wanted to close that area off for years.A ranger actually told me that. They can't stop people from walking or riding in. Or can they...?

[@andrewtarlinton2440]

they can fine you for being in a national park when it is closed@@grahamnield7716Unfortunately the wild brumby situation has gotten out of control and the destruction of the natural environment can be seen everywhere. The temporary closure is to try to cull, which will be a good thing for the eco system and rivers. It is especially an issue up near long plain, close to where this video is shot (I believe)
