    Love your videos , finding them very enjoyable, new to fly fishing so learning what I can from you. Would love to hear a little about the gear you're using (rod ,reel , weight etc). Love your passion look forward to the next one 👍

      @nzadventurer  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks for the encouraging feedback 👌 I'm not a real gear head and not tied to any particular brand or supplier. Could be a good idea to talk tackle in the new year. Are you wanting generic setup info more than particular rod model recommendation etc?

    • @damiantrownson3687
      @damiantrownson3687 Місяць тому +1

      @nzadventurer just generic info like whether your using 5 weight rod or 6 in the different size rivers your fishing, maybe a favorite reel your using etc. Your videos are fantastic as they are already, totally inspiring.

      ​@@damiantrownson3687I might start selling a few of my tried and tested equipment on my online store - just a few things that are reasonably priced but do the job great one example is the polarized glasses I'm just waiting on stock for. They'll be $50 or $60 and are excellent glasses!

      @nzadventurer thanks mate, yeah understand that about the free advertising 👍 sweet thanks for the tips , I'm using a 6weight but thinking I might drop to 5 , awesome I'll be sure to check out your shop.

    Fair play to you getting that fish in, you deserved it. Amazing clarity of the river and the ‘blueness’ is stunning. For your sake, I hope the next one behaves itself 😆👍

    That's fly fishing paradise right there in that gorge. It's always extremely satisfying when a plan comes off with the cast, then what seems like an improbable task at hand to land the fish, ya find a way, and the rewards feel so much sweeter. Great job to pull a fish of that size back up and across that rampant current into the eddie and net him

    • @nzadventurer

      Nice to hear from you. Pleased you enjoy the adventures and hopefully can capture some of the peaceful and relaxing vibes of the wilderness. Well done on the entry to fly fishing. Don't give up, it isn't easy. I just got back from a trip with a novice angler and it was an I te resting reminder to see the challenges of a beginner angler in these tricky situations I realised how much I'd learnt and it was nice to teach him. In videos it looks a lot easier than it is in practice but just remember it's about the adventure and the whole experience not just casting and catching if it was that easy it might not actually be as enjoyable 🤔 stay tuned for more adventures and good luck out there
