[@PatrickSeanEarl]

If I were a younger man I'd be moving there . Had the pleasure of working there some 30 years ago. And you can bet your boots I wet fishing. Wish I'd made it back ! Some of the most beautiful water and fish I've ever seen... Thanks for taking us along once again. 🍻

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks for watching bro. Glad you enjoyed it🤙

[@kevindrums1]

Love the feeling of walking into a new spring after winter. The excitement and expectations are huge! You just feel like your back on track in every way. Great vid

[@cathal37]

BEAUTIFUL BIG TROUT 👍👍

[@CASTINGBOY]

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man. Something I feel super strongly about💪

[@zachmichel9157]

[@derekthompson346]

It's such a humbling moment when a fish throws the hook lol

[@Rob.Brown13]

Unreal start to your season! Can't wait for part 2. I swear you have some of the best fishing content on KZbin. Cheers!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

[@stephenbarlow685]

Hi Alex thanks for a great vid its great to see deer running around and not dodging bullets.Cheers Steve.

[@peterminder6255]

My goodness, what a body of water and the landscape!!!! Simply fantastic. And another brilliant video from you Alex.

[@adriangadd6888]

Fab fish, great landscape! An all round top day. I want to be there.....

[@terricamp8757]

Stunners again, colors are fantastic. Love the way you take such great care of the fish.👏🏼👍🏼

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks Terri, they deserve nothing less than being taken care of aye👍

[@adamricken4792]

I do prefer your vids where ur catching them big browns but by christ..them rainbows in this vid were absolutely stunning

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Pretty cool looking fish aye

[@neilingledew4957]

what a beautiful location just lovely. With fish as a bonus! Great work mate.

[@dustincarpentier3564]

Watching that 'bow drop back and eat your fly right in front of you was EPIC!! Those are the moments you'll always remember right there 👌Can't wait for Part 2!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Was cool aye!

[@chesterpielock8824]

"That's a niiiice fish!" LOL

[@stuartmarriott8056]

Kingfishers, Otters, a mink and even a Goshawk. As you say, it’s often our other ‘companions’ on the river that make the day special. A few fish don’t hurt either!😊

[@TrippinOnTrout]

So cool the things we get to see out there aye

[@etiennetruche1979]

Always HYPE for a new Trippin On Trout video!!!

Your homeland is bucket list fishing destination for me just watching your videos bro.

[@bradatkins9798]

that first Rainbow you landed was a stunning fish!!!

[@derrickhicks9561]

Now THAT is how you kick off a new season. Way to go, Alex! Thank you for sharing the day with us. Awesome video as always. BTW the footage from around 18:40 to 19:20 was stunning. Bravo!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Cheers dude, it’s good when it works out aye!0

[@jjns3991624]

Very skillful landing those big strong fish in that small stream. Well done!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks. Bit of luck doesn’t hurt either tho..😄

[@ecomed-davidhagan2996]

What a session. 👍😎

[@thewonderwok]

Again, Great fish- beautiful condition, Thank for the trip : )))

Chur bro!!

[@sobosther5933]

Insane start of the season🎣

[@CrazyAboutFlyFishing]

Awesomeness. Look forward to getting out in a few weeks. Well hoping so at least. Taking on the salt in the mean time

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Get amongst it bro!

[@jeremyvelkoff1487]

thanks again for another fine fishing video...

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks for watching man🤙

[@justinlemasters3429]

Well done mate! Thanks for the video as always. Cheers!

[@schmoonkie]

Very nice video. Heartbreaking loosing that 5 pounder. We've all been in that situation though... sadly. That river is just the kind I like to fish.

[@colinhugill9705]

Cool video production. What a terrific start to the season!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man🤙

[@thecastawaycrew23]

top stuff mate!!! always is 👍🏼👍🏼

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Tip of the cap to you sir....!!

[@davidg-m1768]

You’re spot on with the fishing fitness. As a mid 50s JAFA I can’t believe how buggered I am after 3 days of fishing, but will never say no when I get the chance! Another fantastic video away from the local rivers.

[@nthnjulich]

Watching these videos is making me think of making the trip out there post restrictions.

[@ShotawayFilms]

Rewarding session Alex.Still reckon production barbless hang on better than crushing barbs but each unto their own...The hyperspeed fig 8 around the rock was a trip....👍

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I tend to agree with you bro but a lot of the flies I use don’t come in barbless so crushing the barb is all I can do

[@martynasjocius]

Your videos are always inspiring, thank you!

[@allaboutthefishes]

Great vid - production quality is truly top notch, great effort. With winter around the corner here in Europe, looking forward to your summer adventures and bringing some 'trout sunshine' to us all.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks heaps. Hope I keep you entertained 🤙

[@Iancarpenterkling]

Ah man you absolutely nailed it. What a video. Well done! The shot and color grading from 19:04 is epic. And here's me stuck in Auckland...

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks man, good when it comes together aye

[@craigng4483]

Mate what a magic opening day. A couple of those rainbows were stunning. Great video to start the new season, loved it😁

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Awesome bro, cheers

[@jlush444]

That’s an awesome start to the season for you Alex. 👌👌👌 Great vid.

[@Mako215]

Stunning mate. Can't wait to get out of Auckland as soon as I can!!

[@uni_shadow164]

Nice Video Buddy! You're making me rethink how I video my catches on the River, Well Done!

[@johnconklin5180]

You did say you weren’t going out. Guess what.. I didn’t believe you. So I checked. There you are going at it again. You’re right cool fish! Nice!

[@Utahlonghorn]

I absolutely love your video’s. Keep producing the great content the scenery is sick!

[@naturalswimmingpoolsaustra7942]

Sick video Alex....Best day fishing I've had in there, with the help of your good self of course!!

[@swooningloonflyfishing]

Great video... Really loving your videography work as of late - beautiful, unique captures. Great job!!!

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Thanks heaps. Been trying to be better the last year or so

[@mattokeefe691]

Thanks Alex. When I’m out of shape it’s much harder to enjoy fishing. I hope you’re well mate. As always, enjoyed the video

Much better than my opening day on the whakapapa river. Nice work

[@roamingwaters8876]

This is the earliest I've ever been! Haven't been able to fly fish in about 2 months since college classes started back up.

[@teamlosi11]

Awesome video Sir! 🔥

[@toddphillips9989]

I'm really surprised you didn't pick up a fish at the 20:20 mark. That water looked fantastic. Great video as always, Alex! Looks like it's time for a new net.

[@dailorrosa4669]

Very very nice man, i from Brazil and here we have a small rainbow trout with 10 pol but these is cool too.... congratulatios.

[@jonroper3712]

Love your videos dude keep posting and I'll keep watching 👍🤜🤛

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Deal 🤙

[@bolykkeberg]

Well done ! I think you're fishing on behalf of a lot of locked down jafa's - keep it coming

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Here’s Bo, hang in there mate🤙

[@MrMandelll]

Flyfishing season is pretty much over here in Sweden, late autumn as it is. Thanks for letting me watch you fishing these great waters, me dreaming of going there one day. Hope to see a lot more from you during this comming cold snowy winter :)

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I’ll do my best to keep em Coming bro

[@richardgill9484]

October, here in the UK felt more like spring today. 19C and mountain biking in summer kit. Cool video Alex. Superb scenery, cracking fish and, as always, a great soundtrack😎👍🏻

[@natureandfishing24]

I was really enjoy watching you how you enjoy in fishing :) - Regards

[@robertzaffarese1968]

Great videos bro, the only thing I would like to see you do different , is to find a way to show the tail with the rest of the fish! Keep up the great work!

[@kenlloyd5195]

nice fish, your educational blurb on handling fish was great there needs to be a greater push in this area with more action from fg etc in north america in many states the are written requirements of the does and dont it boils down to ones respect of the fishery

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I agree totally bro, I hope it resonates with some people 🤙

[@colinbailey5505]

That was super lucky to land that first fish (3rd hooked) with the line wrapped over the handle

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Better to be lucky than good😄

[@LHTWH]

Dude that fish you lost was freaking wild!

[@mrcarhub]

Well done bro u are making good videos with good catch keep going ...love ur videos 👌

[@johnconklin5180]

Many times watched deer cross the stream while fishing. Puts a smile on my face for sure.

[@hunters1372]

One time I was lucky enough for a black bear to cross the stream I was fishing within view. Just happened to show up while I was sitting on a rock taking a short break so he never saw me since I was holding still, it was super awesome

[@johnconklin5180]

Lots of bear in NW New Jersey. Beautiful to watch in their natural environment.

[@timkeir6467]

Cool as man😎

[@waynenaylor5734]

Perfect lunchtime viewing! What a great looking river and certainly some superb fish in there, nice fishing bro - now I just need to get out, I've not hit a river since I caught up with you and Dean.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

That’s too long ago my brutha!!

[@Llapusha]

Love trout ,i am from Kosovo

[@neilandrew961]

Great video sir you should try walking along rivers edge and a herd of deer pop up in front of you about 20 of them don't know who got bigger fright we ran different directions 🤣

[@TrippinOnTrout]

😆😆

[@kyle_juhl4716]

I don’t know about you but I think more about the ones I loose than the ones I catch.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

They stick with you dont they!!

[@P-Dawg602]

You should do a mouse dry fly video or crayfish.

[@russelrogers2540]

Nearly a two hour walk in and it appears that it was worth every step.

[@TrippinOnTrout]

Always is!

[@muffkenz4]

Great vid as always Alex, particularly "moody" piece at the end. God, it's tough been stuck up here in Auckland and not being able to fish! Not sure if watching great vids helps or makes it worse!!

[@nicklenz7930]

There only one place where I can catch fish like that in Nevada and that's pyramid lake 20# cutthroat if you can get them to bite love your videos keep them coming

[@steveclarke1857]

Mate. These are huge fish for such skinny water. NZ really is something else. Also, where do I apply to be your sidekick? I'm happy to be Robin to your Batman. I'm good with movie quotes, pop sci references and I'm not as good of a fisherman as you, so I'll never show you up! :P No line picked up in this episode, which I was stoked to see.

[@patrickpisani8305]

bro, i love your videos. The fish you catch are incredible works of art. Could you maybe upload in 4k in the future?

[@TrippinOnTrout]

I’m working on it - I need to upgrade my camera

[@tanataotengahere5978]

Nice way to go "Tipping on Trout' for the start of the season there "Al".. an 'audience' from the wild-side.a hind n 'er youngin'..yeah kaapai man experienced it..but no gun, shoot with da eyeballs..hahaa.(dem-better-alive anywayz. release dem like u do wif da trout).. awesome my friend n dem taraute seem to put up a good 'fight' notice rod n reel n water 11:40.. natural coolent ha, love dat 'whistling' sound of the reel when dey take off after a strike..miss it n love it.. kaapai presente bro 🎣🎣 ✌️🤙Kia ora.. awesome 👍take care man 🦾😎

[@WowomgCool]

I think the rod you're using is a bit light, i'd go with a #7 with the size of the trouts. Might be the cause of why you're missing some of them.

[@natethenielsen]

What’s the off season workout routine look like for Alex?

[@TrippinOnTrout]

A mix of strength and hypertrophy stuff and then. a switch to more functional stuff closer to the season opening

[@universalvisioner]

aghh ahh ah

[@krazygoofadventures8031]

Great stuff. Loved that doe grunting at you. Glad you hit it opening day. Better shape? Bro you put most of us to shame!

Yeah those deer really made my day! 👊

Where is this? It looks like another planet.

[@rockymountaintrout2689]

Man your rigs are so much more complex then mine lol. Where I live all I use is a 9 foot leader to a tippet ring and 8 inches of 5x. I cant imagine how much tippet I would go through with that long of leaders haha

Yeah you go through a fair bit of it!
