Watch as I sight fish a big brown trout with my euro nymphing rod while fly fishing a spring creek. I also catch a couple of nice rainbow trout all in a couple of hours while on holiday.
Soon the winter fly fishing in Taupo will also kick off. If you want to learn how to catch trout consistently in the Taupo Rivers during winter check out my Guide to Fly Fishing Taupo Rivers in Winter here: www.crazyabout... and use the code VIDEO15 to get 15% off the course.

hay stop it mate , you crushing them. Nice one mate, lovely brown
Haha thanks mate, having a lucky streak with the browns. Hope it keeps going.
I can hear that adrenaline kicking in listening to you breathing rate as you go down the bank for the brown 😂 great video as always. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
Haha yeah the heart starts pounding when you hook a big one like that. So much can go wrong! Glad you enjoyed the video. Tight lines.
Amazing what a few hours fitted in here and there can result in. Some really nice tight fishing Johan, cheers
Thanks Neil, it certainly worked out very well this time. Hope you have been well.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Not so flash health wise Johan, 3 months of chemo left and hope its on and up from that point
@NeilgRichardson all the best. I trust it will be on and up for you. Tight lines
The browns I have caught all had paler flesh than the rainbows but I think diet might influence that and each species preferred niche, they are different, is possibly part of the explanation.
enjoyed watching that well done
Awesome thanks and tight lines.
Lots of great action for such a quick escapade. 👌
Got lucky with that brown but have to be sometimes.
Awesome work man! Such a different way to fish with the Czech nymph setup in a tiny stream - -but your technique works that's for sure. Wondering - that pole cam (insta360) made some great footage how come you're not using that? Well done & cheers for sharing
Yeah the insta360 was great but multiple reasons. 1. Lots of extra work as all the footage needs to be keyframed and exported. Can't use it as it is. 2. Lenses damage easily and need lens covers that also scratch easily and cost 30 per set and don't last long aslo fog up. 3. Quality isn't that great. The new X4 fixed all of that but now it has an overheating problem with long recordings which I need to check if it is a real problem before I consider getting one.
Ah true. That does sound like a hassle compared to the simplicity of the gopro. Not sure if worth it but the content WAS good. Anyway, your last few vids are great too. Have a sweet weekend
@@nzadventurer I've got an alternative plan coming using my second GoPro. Someone sent me a video with an over the shoulder setup which gives the same POV as I did with the 360 cam. In general a double GoPro setup is the easiest. But the new X4 has me very interested. I am researching the overheating problem. If it isn't as bad as some suggest I may still go that route in the long term. It does give me a lot of options.
Throw the Brownie up on the riverbank and leave it there and concentrate on the rainbows. No not really, but in certain company Brown trout are scorned.When carrying out repairs to the NZED properties in Tūrangi in the early eighties we would find, sometimes, clotheslines full of split trout, all Rainbows, drying in the cold air for storage and later consumption and commerce(yes you read that right) there would be no Browns amongst them being deemed an inferior eat by people whom trout made up a significant part of their diet. A local who worked in our workshop told me locals would as like or not do what I first suggested. Personally I have never bothered much with them, not that I haven’t caught my share, I just find their pursuit and capture boring and then I don’t want to eat them when I do catch them. Their colour puts me off, it is the colour of jaundice. The “commerce” mention earlier was interesting also, my fathers family had bootlegging connections when and where my dad grew up and the commercial trout market in NZ works in a very similar manner to how bootlegging operated in Canada during the depression and US prohibition. All this i am able to verify. I still have my fathers chauffeur licence which he had to drive around one of the big bootleggers so the Canadian Federal Police would have no grounds to hassle him. My fathers continued employment in the role meant he was allowed no driving indiscretions at all. And he ended up with the bootleggers daughters name tattooed on his arm, which he later had to get blanked out when he met my mother.
Awesome thanks for sharing that amazing story and history. I believe they actually tried to exterminate the browns in lake Rotorua for that very reason but didn't succeed. I've only ever eaten one brown and I can't remeber what it tasted like. I only eat rainbows from Lake Taupo now all others taste like mud to me. Thanks again for the fascinating info. Tight lines
*fools! I always preferred to eat browns growing up. You could always count on browns to have rich orange flesh where as the rainbows were hit and miss.
@@horidahoriharrison1628 I'll try another one sometime on your account. I must say I can't really remember the first one I ate.
Woww Pięknie !!!!👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
