Hi. a comment from Sweden....I don't know if that river has connection to the sea, but that fish is far more a big Seatrout than a Brown Trout. To many small spots to be a Brown I think. In Sweden we have them both, often in the same rivers. Our Brown is brown with red spots and the Seatrout is just silver when it cames from the sea to spawn. Fantastic fish anyway. :-)

Hi and thankyou for watching, the area we were fishing is in the central part of the south island of New Zealand, no connection to the ocean that I know of. They do have sea run Chinook Salmon in NZ however, I'll do some homework for you.

[@ianwilkinson3425]

Definitely not a seatrout ronny. Everything is just big in the south island of NZ. Including deer and other game. You have to come here to believe it 🤝🏼🐟🐟🐟

NZ is such an amazing place, we just love coming to visit.

@rawlosfishing there's some dinosaur sized trout in those canals . Glad you enjoy the fishing . Great video bro 🤝🏼👏

[@rawlosfishing]

We had such a great week chasing them and can't wait to go back. They continue to challenge angler's and we wouldn't have it any other way.

These are Canals fed by Lakes,

[@rawlosfishing]

They certainly are, Lake Pukaki, Lake Tekapo and Lake Benmore all hold great fishing in their own right.
