[@FlyBrent]

This has some moments that are shot as good as any feature film. Bravo

[@qksmith]

Alpine funnel web. They aren't quite as dangerous as the sydney version but still to watch out for. They at a certain time of year wander for a mate. I recall waking with 2-3 under on ground sheet

[@lucasupright]

Thank you Scotty for these soul soothing adventures.

[@lenlemaic7849]

Well done Scotty, good to see you using a fly rod. There is no turning back. The romance with fly fishing has just started.

[@adamchristo3082]

Just needs a mate to show him how to load and he'll be loving it

[@Dave-ww5tl]

Just needs to burn that white shirt and scrape the tats off his arms, doesn’t suit you Scotty

[@davidpicot5457]

Enoughs, enough! I can no longer watch these without some sort of contribution. The time and effort in each one of your vids, after 2 years, I’m a patron. Sorry I took so long mate

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

You legend! Thanks heaps mate. I really appreciate the support!

[@marksomerville1275]

I felt like bursting into "There was movement at the Station..."... I grew up in very similar country around Glen Innes, my heart melts.

[@aaronstehbens8662]

I've been watching so much American stealth camping etc and was already keen on getting back to true camping and now that I've found this channel I am driven to start free camping no more rules be respectful of your surroundings leave no tracr i love it

[@RawIpharadisi]

Stunning country ~ makes me yearn to meander, run, sing and dance through such gorgeous wide open land and to climb over and explore each and every granite boulder!

[@shanefraser7764]

Yes yes yessss that landscape really does that to a person😁 ✌

[@RawIpharadisi]

@@shanefraser7764 totally yes! Glad you relate :D

[@brucekjesbo3378]

Love your style, Scotty. Great videography, music…..everything!

[@jimfatyakmcgregor8867]

Fantastic Scotty, what a beautiful part of the world that is. Great work catching the fish. Pretty sure that was a Wolf Spider. Thanks for what you do, makes my day. Cheers

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

As always mate, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. After some research, I think it's a trapdoor spider

[@Gobucky63]

Beautiful video, thanks for taking us along. Your camera skills are fantastic. Beautiful settings! Such a treat to see another part of this small world! From one Scottie to another, happy trails

[@judyrobinson9556]

beautiful country. i learned a new word - "brumbies" - which i looked up & found out they are feral horses. that large rainbow trout was a beauty. always enjoy your videos. it's especially interesting to watch videos from another country. i live in the US. Australia is a lovely country & i love the accent.

[@EchoBravo370]

Australia has over 400,000 brumbies just roaming the south eastern countryside. Not belonging to anyone. Just free. It also has over 300,000 feral camels in the desert. Again, just roaming around. Free. By far the largest free horse and camel populations in the world. It is one wild, crazy, amazing place.

[@jseif5844]

Watching from the United States hope all is well with you God bless your country.

[@jessami3692]

How amazingly is our high country x

[@feliciaffox]

The snowy mountains is my favourite place, I lived down there for a bit and visit often. There are so many beautiful spots, lots of hidden huts and it’s just really peaceful. Not sure when you were there but there was heaps of snow a few days ago!

[@PhoenixIsTrash]

Just got out of the Pilot Wilderness in the high country 48 hours ago, was absolutely spectacular. 2 weeks to summer and day one was trudging through knee high snow.

[@morerightrudder9742]

@MrMcGoy Tell me you know nothing about meteorology without telling me

[@morerightrudder9742]

@MrMcGoy Okay but you still know nothing about meteorology lmao

[@morerightrudder9742]

@MrMcGoy Hahah okay kid

[@timphoto83ec]

@MrMcGoy Had snow in December and January many times decades before global warming was a term.

[@timphoto83ec]

@MrMcGoy Maybe "climate change" is an easier concept to grasp. This rain in Sydney at the moment for example is not the norm thats for sure.

[@mezanian]

There's lots of variations with Dingo's, alpine are lighter, Beach dwellers are sandy, etc. Same with Spiders. Platypus in central Queensland highlands are small compared to Northern Rivers, NSW. There's a great documentary about the dingo by a UNSW researcher, done over several years, in the Jamison Valley 2787. His DNA study concluded they have less domestic dog in them than presumed. I love the Brumby, the Lighthorse legacy. 😉

[@davidlandells4443]

Going back thru your early vids . I wish I had your youth. love the content

[@tangomoko2]

Hi, just a little thing, when you leave a hut, set the fire, leave matches so the next person finds it, here’s why, let’s say you are lost, wet and cold, you come across the hut, could you imagine how you would feel finding the fire place ready. Just a little thing that can make a hikers day.

[@tannaeobrien6564]

Don’t leave fires unattended

[@Dave-ww5tl]

You don’t light the fire, wanker, you build it ready that’s setting the fire

[@waltergerlach1059]

Thank you for taking us on your adventures. You always do a great job of making us feel like we are traveling with you. Keep up the great job and may you have many more miles to wander.

[@bjnuma01]

Absolutely beautiful! Can’t say how much your videos reinforce my love for this country.

[@natalieduncan3791]

I just love the mood you create Scott. The visuals and music back ground. Amazing you take me there.🙏🌏🌿

[@blackie8306]

Great vid, thanks. Re casting, try and keep looking straight ahead to where you want the fly to go, and bring your rod back and forth more directly above your shoulder, rather than out to the side. Less wear and tear on your body in the long run, and more accurate casting.

[@anthonyvento33]

Stunning landscape! Beautiful flora and fauna!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Beautiful video Scotty! The landscape was undeniably beautiful, but the way you capture it and overlay the music is just excellent! True inspiration to those of us that capture our trips on video! Really enjoyed every minute of this!!

[@Tiki63]

Incredible mate, from a jealous Kiwi..youre fishings coming on nicely btw,increadible landscape scenery.ps iv'e had good fishing in the rain.

[@ZRolfe]

On the flip side of my original comment mate I have to say it’s unreal that you’ve got into fly fishing ! Makes your channel a one stop shop for my KZbin enjoyment. Glad the trout started to play the game on the second day

[@TheSillySwagman]

Such a beautiful film, mate. So cinematic and I couldn’t agree more with you on the landscape, it’s by far my favourite. Great video, Scotty. That alpine dingo was unreal!

[@chrishewitt4220]

So reminiscent of home and tramping around the Cairngorms! Our bothies are similar but you can stay in them, no problems... Putting the Snowy's on my list for sure!

[@adamchristo3082]

That Eucanbeen tantangra Kozi country does indeed have simmilarlarities to The Cairngorms.

[@steveclarke1857]

Snow melt and rain can scare anglers off of trout water, but it's actually quite a good time to fish. The increased flow kicks up debris and entrains more invertebrates/insects, and the higher speeds of the system push fish into shelter. If you can put your fly on a decent bubble line and near the bottom, you're going to hook up. It's really good weather for tight line nymphing. Glad to see this hut is in good condition and the river was fishing well enough for you to catch that nice little rainbow hen. Loving the fly fishing content, mate. If you're ever keen for a fish up in high country Victoria, let me know. Tight lines.

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

Absolutely outstanding Scotty. Sadly, I've taken up Bushcraft and bushwalking too late in life. I'm 60 in April and I'm not a fit or healthy 60. I would love to be able to walk the distances that you do but I can't. I have to be content with staying closer to my vehicle. Still, you have been such a huge inspiration to me to get outdoors and give it a go. I was behind on 2 of your videos so today is catch up day. This is one, now to watch number two. Keep up the great work mate, you're a legend.

[@CascadeBackcountry]

I strive to have this level of filming and editing!

[@learnasigo3711]

Ooh matches the rainy day of release

[@yurijanssen2148]

Dude, you hit the feels all the time, makes me wanna go out and Explorer even tho the landscapes here arent as wild or remote as the ones out there. Love what you do, please keep doing it!

[@SatriaChannel_08]

Wooww....ini pemandangan alam yang indah... Ada sungainya juga.. sangat berkesan banget kalau camping...pasang tenda dipinggir sungai.... 😊

[@TheAutisticEducator]

I love that river! It has the best fishing and you usually have the whole river to yourself.

[@MurrayCrabbFishing]

Another beautiful vid mate. Love these area. Nothing like being out there.

[@lukevaughn1633]

Incredible area!!

[@ericx122]

This just came up in my recommended, and I can't believe the quality. I salute you sir!

[@DTCampingAdventures]

Another absolutely stunning adventure to watch!

[@ayarottilsandeep545]

Amazing , enthralling adventure. Great 👍. Wonderful landscape. Your videos very peaceful to watch... I love it.. Thanks 🙏

[@JohnWilliams-dr6hi]

Your casting is looking good. Thanks for these videos by the way. I'm a pensioner in England and I'm really enjoying your stuff.

[@SASQUATCH-hu9vo]

Hi there Scotty been watching your videos amazing brother beautiful landscape the high country keep up the good work !!

[@grahamwood9842]

Man from Snowy River country!! Very enjoyable. Thanks Scotty.

[@Chris-just-Chris]

It's been many years since I fished that river, and visited that hut. Thanks for reminding me how beautiful that country is.

[@petracollins8623]

How stunning, and such beautiful music. I am hooked. Thank you so much.

[@JamesSmith-fl2ky]

Love how the john has its own little horseshoe...

[@davidlandells4443]

Did a 3 day hike as a yr11 student at bogong high Plains . absolutely loved it.

[@kimlorentzen1984]

As always as awesome video thanks mate for your efforts. Just a tip from experience if you carry your rod butt forward and tip back they are less likely to snag bushes and if you do it wont snap the tip off. Cheers KIM

[@tristanstephens3322]

Bead head pheasant tail nymph and variants with a bit of orange, pink or red for dirty water, bead head hares ear with a little chartreuse for dirty water. A wooly bugger ( small for rivers ) is always a good fall back early in the season, I Cary a couple of chenille worm fly for flooded rivers when it starts going over the grass. Adjust your depths fish tends to be on the edges of currents and down low in the water column when it’s running fast. Just add more weight if your not getting to the bottom. Humpy, deer hair caddis, royal stimulator, royal wolf, deer hair wolf, small foam and deer hair for dry droppers. Can’t go wrong with a royal coachman for a searching fly pattern though in small streams! Awesome footage, awesome place 👏🏼

[@bjornhellman8474]

Nice. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful scenery. Surely there must be nice brownies in that stream.

[@susanalbone5101]

Great video, spectacular scenery as always, you know how to ‘pickem’. Shame about the weather but at least you were well prepared. Good job on the fishing, you’re getting there. Thanks for sharing. ❤️ Dorset, UK

[@soulcontractor1641]

Scotty, Thanks for the Prehistoric Journey through the Beautiful Prestine Ancient Australian Landscape!! Some of ( Us) live Vicariously through Others formulating a Plan to Escape the ( Rat Race of the Big Cities)!! Dean( Soul) Toronto

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome...amazing...Australia! Thank you, Scotty! 👍😎🇨🇦🐎

[@rodgeorge7244]

I'm with you on this Scotty that country is amazing it has always been somewhere that I felt I was home and I have spent a lot of time up there and I have always felt that it is my spirit place

[@michaelroy849]

FYI: A Royal Wolf is a very good attractor dry fly that work best in riffles.

[@michaelroy849]

Another fly that works very well is the Royal Trude. It suggest an emerging mayfly, a Royal Wolf suggest an adult mayfly.

[@dylzki]

Keep it up I absolutely love your videos it expires me to get out in the wild and do fun stuff and see around

[@Andyb2379]

Beautiful country Scotty. Thanks for bringing me a long. Cheers 🍻

[@wolverinehoff9789]

Love that spot. But your dinner: that is a ripper! Yum!!!

[@evilsaddist666]

Went for a drive down there yesterday and loved it so much we bought a house looking up at Kosciuszko National Park. Looking forward to many adventures to come in the future.

[@JasonMcCann841]

Beautiful spot and great persistence. Great video Scotty.

[@mitchellfechner351]

WOW. mate, seriously beautifully filmed and framed. Stunning work lad. The morning shot on the verandah, awesome. Thanks again mate.

[@Yipmanhands]

Great video Scotty, what an awesome place. I've been fly fishing for 20 odd years now (mostly from Sydneys rock ledges) and although I grew up in NZ, have fished around Tasmania and go to the Blue Mountains lakes and rivers I've never yet caught a bloody trout...so you're are doing alright ! Keep up the great work.

[@moe_1886]

Beautiful Scotty! What a place! Thanks for taking us along.

[@jbthor9032]

Thanks Scotty for the great pics. Always a pleasure to watch your channel. I look forward to seeing more. Ausy is greatest.

[@laurencetilley9194]

Tip: Growing up in the country, I was taught to leave gates in the bush the way you found them. Beautiful location once again .👍

[@FatherFirst]

He only left the gate open long enough to go back and get his camera I believe. But I do absolutely agree with that tip.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

@@FatherFirst Spot on 👍

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yep I always do. This was just for the camera

[@FatherFirst]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout love your channel man. It's been a Godsend since I've found it and always enjoy your videos. I love your approach and outlook on the outdoors. Very inspiring!!! Keep up the great work and I hope things are getting better in Australia for you guys. Much respect and appreciation from 🇺🇲

[@bavariasuhl]

ok, got to know where you got your hat. Am a Tassie relocated to the states, i bring my rod whenever i come back to oz. Neve fly fishing the mainland, that looks gorgeous

[@Jonathan-ch3eq]

Greetings from the UK. New to your channel bro. Very much enjoying your content. Love the simplicity of your style. Keep up the awesome work.

[@maxxyhobson]

Awesome video so far, excited to see an hour long video about my fav place in Australia!

[@Astrobutch0901]

Beautiful, great video - one of your best, 👏

[@michaelbarton3530]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Just subscribed. Really nice to to see other folks in distant lands loving the same things I enjoy here in South Carolina ! Beautiful mountains, wildlife and fishing. Looking forward to watching more of your posts. Thanks so much!

[@stevereed6334]

Best video yet mate. Love the snowy region. Best part of the country.

[@theseabeangallery5374]

Beautiful film amidst a landscape I'd love to sketch. Thank you.

[@ChrisoTurlington]

Its amazing what you see when you take the time to look, first time watching your channel very cool mate keep it up.

[@pkjmfineart1593]

Compliments on your supreme content, (flora & landscapes of Oz

[@peterjamesphotography]

Oh man! Stunning location, love the hut. Beautiful film

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Absolutely bloody beautiful

[@ADPX24]

Enjoyed watching this. Really wished I was following you around with my camera and capturing all that beauty

[@keithdrower9120]

Thanks Scotty. I love it up there also.

[@jayburton7362]

Mate these videos always make my day better when they come out - would you ever consider doing a beginners guide to hiking/solo-camping? I'd love to start but theres so much info its overwhelming.

[@benpaynter8348]

It’s so good the huts are there I’ve been stuck out myself just wishing for a retreat from the rain and it was burnt down. Horrible experience I really hope they are re built

[@mellowfellow4755]

Saving the kangaroos and dingoes the bit at the beginning looks very like Dartmoor, at Bellever on the East Dart

[@velebithost]

Thank you very much buddy this is awesome. So Beautiful country side.. very relaxing to watch 👍🏻👍🏻

[@zacjohnson5780]

Another amazing video mate, thank you heaps. Also what’s the name of the song at 7:50? Cheers mate.

[@joncothranphotography9375]

I am just learning to fly fish and I had almost asked on your last video if you do when you announced this upcoming video. I have not used mint jelly on chops, but jalapeno jelly is for sure tasty on it... Great trip! Thanks for letting us tag along!

[@micahwinters7021]

Great cinematography bro! Awesome video

[@gordonmiller4439]

Nice job with the flyrod, Scotty! I was half expecting Clancy and Jim Craig to come rinding in after the Brumbies, mate!

[@bthompson2792]

Mate just love these videos . So want to take my kids fishing down to the snowies now and I’m buying a fly rod . My wife’s not real happy with you at the moment lol . 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@acacomiskey]

Dingoes around the camp sounded awesome. Yep take a spinner next time need to see you catch some.👍

[@byronrawlins6018]

You’re brilliant brother

[@garytracey1690]

Beats the cold were having in Ireland snow us on its way

[@BrettWilliamson]

Scotty, mix together 1/4 cup of mint jelly, 2 tbsp of soy and a drizzle of honey and marinate your lamb cutlets/chops in it. It is bloody beautiful. Just be a little careful when you cook it as the marinade can burn.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Ooh yum! Sounds delicious.

[@MrWalko]

Stunning mate. I would have been tempted to fry up that first trout for lunch. Would have made a tasty feed.

[@budget-adventure]

Oh it’s fortified weather baby!!!

[@qksmith]

Interestingly today the environment ministry approved a new plan to managed the horse populations. Down from over 14,000 to 3,000 in five years. This is a start and a much more manageable number. In the 1990s and 2000s I spent hundreds of days in the snowies and brumbies were rare. This is the way it should be.

[@herbsmith6871]

Amazing country my friend! Of course the fishing got hot when you had to go home 🤠

[@dougaldhendrick3497]

I bought a tiny little spinning rod, packs down to 45cm max, ideal for those waters..

[@subharerksubhongsang5602]

beautiful !! love the morning light on the landscape :)

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

What an amazing spot reminds me a tad of Scotland and you had the place to yourself apart from a few Rue's , and the food - every body else's food looks way tasty. take care

[@peterwrench4416]

Howling in Dingoes, one of my hobbies. Been down that way once or twice, not nearly enough after watching this.
