Sometimes I’m shocked to see how much hard work goes into finding fish in your country. You guys are blessed with mammoth sized trout and sometimes it requires mammoth effort to get them. Even in my best days when I could hike forever I wouldn’t have enjoyed this degree of work to find the fish. I salute your seemingly endless resolve to keep hiking through difficult terrain. Perhaps the reward is in just being there and overcoming whatever obstacles arise. Well done!

Hey Alex - found your channel about six months ago and can’t stop watching! I’m fairly new to Flyfishing and I’m learning so much from your videos. Also I’ve gotta say your filming is fantastic and I’m always waiting for the next one to come out to enjoy. Keep up the great content. I’ve noticed you carry the Fishpond submersible lumbar pack. I have one as well but I have a problem with it and wondering if you have the same. I don’t like wearing the shoulder strap and wearing the hip pack without the strap the pack wonders it’s way down and over my hips and eventually slips down my legs. If you have the same issues would love to know how you remedy the problem. Good fishing and Thanks in advance - demos

Hey Alex (or someone else who knows), I noticed you said in the beginning of the video that there's point going to the river in the early hours. Trout in the Northern Europe are the most active (usually) in early and late hours. Is this not the case in NZ? I do understand why you would want to wait for the sun to come up for sight fishing purposes, but I'm curious whether the fish act differently back there? Is fishing in twilight pointless in NZ?

BTW, I watched a fascinating KZbin video recently that was produced by someone who was studying the effects on fish from wearing the types of gloves we all wear for UV protection. They had a larger trout in a tank and with time lapse photography they demonstrated that by holding a trouts tail with gloves it removes enough of the slimy coating on their skin that over several weeks the fish was covered in bacteria and would die soon as a result. I think I saw it on Fly Lords as I recall? Food for thought.
@TrippinOnTrout3 жыл бұрын
Certainly Interesting stuff aye. I would argue that the conditions in those rivers are very different from that tank tho - I have seen and caught the same fish on multiple occasions over the years and have never seen any Indication of disease or issues due to those gloves. That said, I do agree with you and only wear those simms gloves when the South Island for protection from sandflies.

Great video Alex! I loved the underwater shots and of course the magnificent browns. You mentioned sand flies in this and some other videos. Are these biting flies or just nuisance bugs? We don't have those in Colorado. I lived on the East Coast of the US and fished in the Adirondacks. Early in the Summer I had experience with black flies which were small biting flies in enormous numbers. I remember seeing an angler leaving the river in the middle of a feeding frenzy with blood trickling down his face from all the bites. Though fishing was great, due to the black flies he threw in the towel.
@thor_68863 жыл бұрын
G'day. I hope you don't mind someone else replying, but yes, they are tiny black biting flies. They are in swarm proportions in that part of our South Island. I'm not sure what they bite when humans aren't around - but they drive you silly as soon as you step out of a vehicle etc. Sounds similar to what you experienced. That's mainly why Alex and his mate are wearing clothing head to toe in what is our summer - as well as for sun protection from our harsh sun.

@@thor_6886 Thanks for your response. If I may ask for clarification, you wrote: "They are in swarm proportions in that part of our South Island." Does that mean they're only in certain parts of the South Island? Besides clothing, do you also need to use bug repellent, such as Deet? Also, are they seasonal? ( Sorry for all the questions... )

First and foremost bro, I totally agree with you that gloves are best not worn and I generally don’t BUT in the South Island the sand flies are THAT bad that you just have to. Also, All gloves are not made equal and those Simms sun gloves are the best I have found so far with minimal material on them that, as long as they are wet, there doesn’t seem to be an issue. I have also never seen a fish suffer from any sign of glove related issues (in NZ rivers) so as long as good handling practices are employed, it seems ok. All that said, I don’t wear them anywhere else. 🤙
