Ollie, very nice stretch of my favorite river so close to my second home in NZ. Every time you refresh my memories of spending time on that rivers. You must have good fitness for a trip like this (except if you have permission for access ;-))
Love your content! Can you maybe make a how to Nymph fishing video? I just started dry fly fishing and want to learn how to start nymph fishing. Cheers!
Awesome session Ollie, your rivers over there are so cool! Out of interest, how do you like the Arcay? I've been thinking about ordering one but very few people over here have any experience with them.....
Hi mate! I’ve only fished it a few time but the 11’ 3/4 is a nice rod, light and good for casting, a little more like a 3wt. I suspect for Aussie the 11’ 2/3 could be good for small nymphs but I haven’t tried it before, although I have a few friends that fish with it.

@@olliebassettflyfishing awesome, thanks mate!
Hi Ollie, what line is that you’re using, it casts incredibly well. Great vid
Hi Rob, the fly line is a 0.55 euro nymphing type line, I think the one on that reel is a Soldorini.
@@olliebassettflyfishing cheers Ollie thanks for the info 🙏👍
Excellent video thanks mate. I noticed you have your fly line out of the rod, how long is your leader ?
Looks great. Is that 1 x mono to your fly line? Interested to know what you use for your sighter?
Hi Kevin, two rods lengths from the end of the line to point fly, so approximately 22 feet.
@@micabell55 Hi mate, a bit thinner, around 3.5X for the green line. Cheers!
Hi Ollie
Really enjoying your stuff. What breaking strain is you tippet? Thanks mate
I think in this video I was using 5X tippet, so about 5lb
