Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed watching and I am sure you learnt a heap from Simon. Please leave a comment to let me know if you swing flies or not?
What a nice young man Simon is. I'd like to see more of him. From start to finish this jaw dropping video took me on a journey of fly fishing discovery. I can't wait to go swinging now!
He is indeed and I already have plans to get him on again. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment.
Thanks guys, great vid. Yes absolutely I swing flies, have just recently been playing around with the 150 grain Commando smooth on my 3 wt euro rod, works really well!
Thanks, I'm also just getting started. Simon gave me a few tips and next week you'll see Meinrad talking about the casting side. Looking forward to do a bit more myself.
Great video thanks Simon, nice to see someone who is down to earth talking about fly-fishing. Nick Moody
Simon is really great, I sent him your comment
Cheers Nick! Appreciate the feedback! you got something out of it. Simon
Would like to see more of him! Very enjoyable teacher. Thank you!
That's good to know, I am trying my best to lock him down for a few more vids this summer, it's just our schedules holding as back. He will definitely feature again. He has plenty more great info up his sleeve.
There’s a lot of good info in here, awesome video!
Thank you, much appreciated.
I know Simon. He has enthusiasm for the things he does that is rarely seen. You can see that in his expressions at various stages of the video (1:47 for example). I dont fish. But last year Simon set me and my Bro-in-law from Cali up, to go out on the Tongarero with one of his colleagues. We didnt catch a fish but we had an amazing time - you really cant beat getting out on the river. Love the video bro, hopefully there is more to come.
Yes he is great and I learnt heaps from him. Will definitely get him onto film again soon.
Cheers mate! Appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it and look forward to catching up some time soon!
Really good video mate, this was something that I enjoyed watching. I’m interested in learning this method
Thanks mate. These are fun to make and I am glad people are enjoying it. There is another video, more focused on casting to come from this trip too. If we manage to catch up one day I''ll bring my rod along and you can have a go. Just don't let me teach you 😬
Great video. I love swinging for steelhead and trout. Love my speyco reel as well.
The sound of a Speyco screeming with line peeling off is pretty cool. Glad you enjoyed the video.
An absolute piece of art this video is!! Love it mate! Keep it up. Your killing the game!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I'll try to keep them coming.
You have to admit Johan really put it together so well!!
Great info, very informative for those of us less knowledgable in the subject.
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching.
Awesome episode man.Loving this series!
Inspiring man,thanks for all the great content you put out. anyway, I really want to try this sometime, looks fun!
Thanks very much. I enjoy making this and will try to keep it going as long as I can. You should give this a try, I did on the weekend and it's a great way to fish.
It's way better than fun I assure you.
It looks very tempting. Thanks for great video. It sparks my curiosity to catch a big trout by flying fish rod. Hope to see a new film.
Thank you. It is a great way to enjoy nature and I hope you give it a try one day. There is another film to come from this trip and I plan to make more in the future so keep an eye out for something new every week.
Hi! Simon! It's nice to see you here. Your clip is so awesome, and it makes me interesting.
Cheers Jason! New hobby?
Glad you enjoyed it!
This interview is awesome 👌 👏
Thank you very much

Thanks for the sub and hope you get to visit one day soon. We are very lucky with what we have here.
Nice video, I would like to see more videos like this, thank you!
Thank you. You are in luck. Next week I talk to Meinrad about spey casting with skagit lines so keep an eye out for that.
Good video , def going to give this a try.
It's a fun way to fish, definitely worth a try
I have and am learning so much thanks to these video's thanks for that.
Ah that's awesome to hear. Tight lines
Great video...Very interesting! I really liked :)
Thanks, I am glad you did.
I have a couple of two hand trout Spey and love this kind of fishing.
It's really fun. I'm looking forward to doing some myself in the future.
It's a symphony!
great presentation!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Awesome clip - Simon, you are a star!!
He is indeed. Will have to do some more filming with him in the future.
A great story of one mans journey.
Thanks Chris! Was fun to be out! Hope you are well mate!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Nice video. Good content and looks amazing locations. Good to see that you are well protected with Aquaz waders and jacket!
Thanks. I'm very happy with my Aquaz gear, always warm and dry.
Without doubt the best available on the market backed by awesome AQUAZ.
Absolutely, great gear indeed!!
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Good to know. It's important to protect yourself well!~~
a true thinker... that makes me smile
So much knowledge to share.
sweet video!
Thank you
Great video, just found it. I was told to go on the heavy end, or a little over of the line spectrum for beginners. Do you agree?
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it. For normal floating fly lines going a line weight over can make it easier when you start out for sure. However I wouldn't recommend it for skagit lines like these for spey casting. The lines are very different. The manufacturers like OPST have a line chart and that's the best way to choose a line to match your rod for these lines. Hope that helps. Tight lines
Thanks Simon. Great video. Fished a streamer for a short time on my local river this week. No action but am going back for more. Found casting a bead head maribou difficult with a wf6wt and tapered leader. Would a skagit head help?
Simon is great isn't he? I'll let him comment on this in detail but from what I saw on this trip, that is what these lines do best.
Hey Keith, cheers, glad you got something out of it! A Skagit head would definitely help turn those flies over. Flick me an email on simon@opst.co.nz if you'd like some line advice or ideas. Tight lines and good luck on your next outing!
Will email you. Cheers
I really like the OPST lines, but every time I see someone casting off the wrong shoulder I want to shout at the screen, "Learn to cast properly with both hands!"
Haha, absolutely know what you're saying, but I am a big fan of off-shoulder casting, just always enjoyed it 😂 I'm fine casting with switched hands, but hate the feel of managing the line and stripping without switching back. Each to their own I guess! 😉
Tight lines!
I'm pretty new to this and have had only a day or two on the river. What's the benefit of switching hands to cast off the other shoulder vs. casting off the wrong shoulder? I have tried both but I am still very uncoordinated either way 😆
I cast off my opposite shoulder when the needs of river flow and wind and I use two hands. I'm interested in what you mean " Learn to cast properly with both hands". I'm in my mid 70's and have been doing this for quite a long time. I consider the art and technique of being able to cast 'off hand' is a real bonus at times. Maybe you should explain yourself a little and tell something about yourself to give some creds to your comment, I'm sure people would like to know this.
No.
Barrie Barnes instead of casting with your right hand on top, reverse hands so the left hand is on top and right on the bottom. Cast on the other side of your body, ie reversed, so that it is a normal cast but left sided. By the way I don’t do this.
I've got great idea can u do video about pouches pouching trout in nz streams I like know more about that how u can stop it happening agoin keep on top off it if anyone sees it that will help anyone in trout fishing business
Thanks. It's an interesting idea. Might see if it's something F&G might be interested in doing.
Re my previous comment about music, strange , when I listened on my tablet the music volume drowned out the talk,now on my laptop the balance is better,however I dont understand why any broadcast needs music whilst someone is talking.
It's interesting to hear how different devices handle the music. I edit with headphones and find I used to make things too soft so when I was watching on my phone I couldn't hear, even at full volume. Now I edit based on the audio levels given on the software I use. The music is more to compliment the footage rather than the talking as it goes well with it, but it should not be drowning out the talking. I will try to mix it better next time. Thanks again for taking the time to reply and give feedback.
So a novice question here, having never tried skagit or spey... what's the differences, besides the line, between this and normal fly fishing with a sinking line or a sinking tip and swinging a fly?... I can put a heavy fly on and a sinking tip and do a roll cast which sort of seems to be similar...
Not a great deal of difference but the short taper and thin running line with sink tip of the skagit lines is designed to cast pretty big streamers easily with little or no room behind you and swing them deep and slow. The spey casts are very similar to a roll cast as well but just work very effectively with these lines. A friend of mine uses a normal floating line and sink tip casting overhead or roll casting with streamers. It works well too but it's a bit of different style more focused on a retrieve rather than a swing, hitting very specific spots in the river. While the skagit lines can be overhead cast as well I find it a bit clunky. They do work well on both single handed and double handed setups though. There are a few other videos on my channel about this as well. This video (ua-cam.com/video/K97BIuVT9B0/v-deo.html) covers the basics of trout spey while this one (ua-cam.com/video/GB66R-frH54/v-deo.html) shows my friend Angel with his streamer setup toward the end getting 3 solid fish and this one (ua-cam.com/video/zo8sbZzkWok/v-deo.html) has both of us fishing streamers in different ways toward the end . Hope you find that useful. I will be doing another video with Simon soon going into more detail about trout spey. Let me know if you have more questions you would us to cover.
Great video! What kind of reel is that you are using?
Thanks, the reel is a speyco
Love swinging have you tried tube flies?
He certainly, does. Saw your next comment.
What is that fly box that you use
It's one of the plan D boxes like this one iloveflyfishing.kiwi/product/pack-max-50-50-fly-box-plan-d/
Sorry just saw you talking about tube flies
Great, hope you found some good info in the video.
Love swinging flys on my 6wt single hander with a 250 gr OPST head. Fuckn awesome.
Sounds like a great setup.
Your so right Aaron it goes way past simply catching fish.
Great presentation. Expertly filmed and edited
Great effort by the team.
Thanks mate. Appreciated.
Great video but music distracts from the talk
Thanks for the feedback. Curious, is it the type of music or the volume? Will be handy to know what to adjust for future videos.
