The Best Dry Fly Day Ever (New Zealand - Episode 5)

In this episode Tuva and myself take off to explore some small lakes after we get a hint from one of our Norwegian friends (Thanks Gisle!). It then turned out to be a day where everything went our way. We caught everything we found, and we both got our new personal best brown trout on dry fly that day. The best dryfly day ever!

I've been fly fishing since 1988 and have never landed browns that big, though I haven't lost hope. New Zealand is on my list. I'm glad for the both of you.

[@slowrisemedia]

Yeah Tuva was lucky, and skilled, to catch that fish so early in her career. But it’s all about the location. New Zealand is different

[@JakeAtkinson43]

That's an okay sized brown on some areas standerds

[@johnshand6176]

Another incredible day for an incredible couple! Pure joy to watch.

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot! Those comments mean a lot to us ☺️

[@adamk1873]

Love the videos, including your process work and ethical approach to catching fish. Top notch.

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback! We will keep doing the things we do!

[@danhaukland9670]

Just beautiful!

[@slowrisemedia]

Incredible 🙌

[@barneyomulligan9739]

Guys you are having the fishing adventure we all wish for anyone who has not been to NZ. Congratulations, and thanks for great videos.

[@slowrisemedia]

Yeah, that’s true and we appreciate that we get to do this! And the least we can do is to share the story too! And comments like yours makes it so worth it!

[@stuartSFT]

Loving your videos .. honest story telling 😊

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot! I hope episodes 6 will not be too honest, because there we struggle 😅

[@shortcircuit7310]

Superb again guys. You are capturing some of the best fly fishing footage I have seen in a long time. Big respect for Tuva's casting when she was going for that big fish- double hauling a backhand cast like that in the wind is really impressive.

[@slowrisemedia]

Wow, thanks a lot! Super cool to hear such feedback! Yeah her casting is very good actually! You should se her cast a 20cm pike fly on sinking line!

[@flyfishsven7020]

Just love it!!!! Nice one again

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot! Just imagine an Atlantic salmon taking a bomber ;)

[@alexredhat3476]

Oh you guys. Amazing movie and what a fish!!! Each episode is better then the previous.

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot! Well that is amazing! Next one has way less fishing a action but we will try to keep it up!

[@johnrachcoff6928]

I fished those tarns way back in the 1990s and its great to see the fishing is still legendary # fishing for the educated trout

[@slowrisemedia]

So cool! Yeah it is still amazing!

[@nzadventurer]

Well done! Amazing fish

[@WorldTravelFish]

Amazing fishing adventures and amazing editing! 👏 good job guys!

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot! We spent a bit more time on editing this one! Thanks a lot

[@l-jferreira9358]

What a legend! Letting your girl land those amazing fish.

[@slowrisemedia]

Haha, she kind of does that herself, but thanks 🙌

At 15:23 you are way to early. Big Fish you see the take more a second before you can hook it. Cheers and good video!

[@waitakifly]

Fantastic days fishing Can recommend Lora Tab for hayfever relief

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot for the comment and recommendation! Will check it out!

[@loontil]

well done guys hope you're still having a good trip a lot of too-warm rivers in SI at the mo

[@slowrisemedia]

Yeah, it was hot, and we tried to fish spring creeks and cold waters. Luckily now everything has cooled down where we are at. It’s super chilly in the water, and we even had fresh snow on the hillsides today! So that’s good…

[@struck2soon]

Jeez!!! 😳

[@troutstalkers6922]

Well done guys. Another great watch. How long have you been in NZ and until when will you be around?

[@slowrisemedia]

Thank you so much! We just got back home to Norway after spending 3 months in NZ. We still have 6 more NZ episodes to publish from our trip😊

[@troutstalkers6922]

@@slowrisemedia thanks so much, guys. Looking forward to it. :)

[@keithcuming3204]

Just discovered you guys. Great footage and good fishing! Just a question, is that a NZ McLean net you’re using? If so, it has weighing scale in handle.

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot! Well it is a McLean yes. They sell them both with and without the weight in the handle, and this one is without. We have owned numerous of McLean nets and the scale is more often than not accurate. For that reason we use a good digital weight instead. It’s also cheaper

[@SimmsFishingProducts]

🔥🤙

[@tomgustavsen9164]

Tusen takk!!!! Sällan har man blivit så fiskesugen som nu!!!! Nya Zeland är bara the place!!!!!! Gleder mig til neste film! Hur länge stannar ni?

[@slowrisemedia]

Tusen takk selv! Haha, New Zealand er helt magiskt! Vi blir i to måneder til, så det skal nok bli 10+ episoder til

[@galahad6001]

Dream time .. good work guy great footage.. 😊

[@slowrisemedia]

Thanks a lot!

[@kentaylor2416]

My.... what big hands you've got.

[@leonardvirtue5753]

Nice 😊 🤠👌👌🤙🤙🥳💯💯💪👍

[@malcolmbiddle2681]

Apparently European Anglers are giving each other GPS coordinates for the fishing in NZ. Ist gut..nah not so much.

[@slowrisemedia]

To be honest we don’t really see the problem. If you come to Norway I would help you with finding good spots too!

[@turbostunt321]

Oil video what camera are you shooting on?

[@slowrisemedia]

We shoot with lumix gh6 and a 100-300mm lens

[@bobbuhr2976]

What is the action on that 6 weight, medium?

[@slowrisemedia]

Yeah it’s a medium action rod I would say!

[@colinbiggar296]

think yr goin to need a bigger landing net 🤣

[@slowrisemedia]

Haha, yeah let’s hope so!

[@joedfrancisco5927]

Which part of new zealand of this

[@slowrisemedia]

Mid South Island

[@joedfrancisco5927]

@@slowrisemedia whats the namenof this waterways

[@bkrred7638]

Why are trouts so big in NZ?

[@slowrisemedia]

To be honest we wonder the same!

[@user-mz7cg5wl7x]

Suggest you carry the scales all the time and release a good fish like that with minimal time in the net and mud…

[@slowrisemedia]

Good point! We will be better at minimising the handling of the fish. Thanks for the comment

[@djd23555]

No way that brown is only 8.1 lbs (3.7 kg). That thing has to be at least 8.75 lb, right?? It dwarfs my 7.75 lb cutthroat. Was your scale possibly a half lb off ?

[@slowrisemedia]

Hmm, it was 3,7kg on the digital weight so it should be pretty accurate!

[@jordant3740]

Mate. Don't chase the fish. in a lake. They will cycle back on their 'beat' eventually.

[@slowrisemedia]

Why would you not catch them in the spring lakes?

[@ChangkongFishing]

Great video and some great results 😊😊 !
