New to this channel. I can't believe what I've been missing out on all this time...The fishing, the respect for traditional custodians, the fishing, the characters and the fishing. It's a dream of mine to get up there and fish some of these systems. Appreciate all the work you've put into these series and a true privilege to be allowed access to such pristine areas.

Proper mate. It's Beautiful country. Im always looking for crocs in your drone footage.

New subscriber from the states. I love your videos guys, and the Toyota's - I'm jealous of. Can you harvest the wild pigs or do you guys not hunt? I know having firearms is different there, but they would make an epic meal. Do you have access to Zoom fishing lures there. The Zoom Horny Toad is awesome in those tight spots here in the states. Keep the videos coming guys!

[@WildReaches]

Thanks mate, great to hear ur enjoying it and good to hear to gear run through are a hit. The mouth piece is just way more versatile cause you can take it out and film with your hand so quick. But then a lot of the footage is Dan mumbling behind it with a mouthful of saliva 😂

It doesn't look like the fish would be bothered if you took extra time with the details. That fish would have still been there if you took the time to re-tie, don't you think? Yes I am second guessing, but with the best of intentions. Very cool vid.

Alot of the time in this clear water I find they spook after 2 or 3 failed attempts. sometimes we're better coming back to the spot later in the day for another go. Stoked to have you with us from the States mate

[@thomasgistinger1885]

I have a question guys.. I was watching a documentary a while back about Australia, I think it was "Bushtucker Man". He mentioned something about having to have a special pass to go past a certain point up there in the area you are in.. This documentary was made probably in the 1980's.. Is this something you would have to have?

[@WildReaches]

That was probably into Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and yes you still need a pass to get in there. Cape York where our latest series was filmed is based more on gaining permission from traditional owners to access untouched parts of the Cape. 👍🏻

[@samdavis456]

What shoes do you guys wear walking down these rivers ? :)

[@WildReaches]

Bare foot mostly mate. Reef Booties work ok though.

[@amped-_-509]

Which rivers this?

[@thomasgistinger1885]

I forgot to ask.. You mentioned that you would have liked to take an additional rod and reel for some lighter action, but it's hard to deal with an additional one in the bush.. How about a telescoping rod and reel that you could store in your pack for some ultralight options?

[@WildReaches]

Hey Thomas, yeah great idea mate. I have Samurai 4 piece bait casters but nothing in spin. I’ll have to get onto that mate.

[@thomasgistinger1885]

@@WildReaches I have never used a telescoping rod, but I use a St. Croix Avid 6ft rod with a Shimano Stradic Spinning Reel using Berkley NanoFil 6lb line. here in Michigan for trout.. This rig is a beast and was able to land a 14# brown trout with it once.. I use bait casters for walleye here since we mostly jig for them. I love my Shimano reels, my choice for my bait casters is the Shimano Calcutta.. Lots of power and a fast retrieve..I am not that accurate when throwing a bait caster.. That is why I am impressed with you guys.. When you were pitching for that baramundi, you were putting it in the same place each cast.. If I tried a delicate cast like that I would have nothing but backlashes or ended up in those vines..

[@WildReaches]

That’s a good effort in a little reel mate. 👌🏼, is love to chase trout a bit more. Yeah Barra need the lure in the right spot or ur just wasting your time, most of the time anyway, it’s the same as everything mate, the more you do it the more the muscle memory kicks in I think. But trust me, I end up stuck in trees a bit too 😂

[@earthman4222]

Was it a male eclectus (green) or a female (red) parrot? I love them. Yes they have other colors on them, but predominantly green, or red, depending on the sex.

[@WildReaches]

I couldnt tell to be honest, it looked dark because the sky was so bright unfortunately. Definitely sounded like an Eclectus though.

You could definitely try to do it in a cheap single cab 4x4 and tow a little tinny. Might get away with $10k. I wouldn’t recommend it though.
