- Watch as I use a dry dropper rig while fly fishing for big trout in a small side channel on a big river.

Nothing better than summer light fishing, great video Johan!!!
Thanks Pawel, we I need to go get a couple to smoke, let's try on the weekend
Hi Johan, that second fish was a beauty, nice to see you back on the water. Cheers mate. Harera
It was indeed. Hope to see you on the river again soon. Tight lines
Awesome! That spot looks like its firing at the moment 😊
Yeah neat little spot that will show it to you. Will be great for high flows in winter.
@CrazyAboutFlyFishing epic! Single nymph euro action
i have been waiting for you to post for ever!!!!
Awesome, I have 3 more weeks of videos filmed. Just need to edit them.
Appreciate the video Johan. Nothing as beautiful as those Cicadas singing in the background. Looking forward to some dry dropper soon.
Hopefully I get to film a few cicada eats. The sound of summer fishing. Love it.
Glad to see you posting again. Nice video. That second rainbow was lovely...
I'm glad to be posting again. Have another 3 videos filmed so there should be more soon. Tight lines.
Hi nice to see you out again. I have a suggestion. If you don't like to carry the heavy rod tubes on backcountry trips which weigh down one side of a backpack consider swapping for a clear polycarbonate tube. These are very light, inexpensive and strong. Hopefully these are available in NZ.
Thanks for that. I will look it up. Definitely need to protect the rods so if I can cut weight that is ideal.
Nice backhand casting. Opens up so many more possibilities! Glad I learned this.
If you don't know this method of casting, I strongly suggest you practice it. In theory it's very easy, especially if you already have a good classical 10-to-2. You're simply ending the cast on the BACKCAST, instead of the forward cast. This can be done with or without hauling, overhead, sidearm, or 45 degs.
Later in the video, I see you backhand roll casting!
Thanks heaps. Every extra cast I have learned has helped my at some point get a fish I wouldn't have otherwise. A pendulum cast with nymphs has been great too. I often use it more than bow and arrow as long as I have room above. Tom Jarman has a video about it. Tight lines
Thanks for the vid Johan. Good to see you back posting and look forward to more successful trips.
Thanks. I'm doing a bit of fishing this week so hopefully I can have weekly videos for a few weeks at least.
@@CrazyAboutFlyFishing Good luck Johan.Retired in March and always hopeful of fishing 3 times a week but it seldom works out that way!
Nice Johan.
Love hearing those cicadas chirping
Can't wait to catch a few on big dries
Thanks mate. Keep them coming
Thanks, will do.
Spot nya mantap,👍👌❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 😊
Good ftuff as usual Johan....never considered double dry rig...cheers
Yeah it took me a while to click that it's easy to just use two dries. I works well when you suddenly spot a fish you want to cast only a dry to. Then I just change the nymph to whaterever small dry I want to use. Works great.
Hi Johan. I am interested to know if you fished back in SA and what you targeted? Bass?
Only a little bit of fly fishing but grew up in bloem fishing for carp, yellowfish and catchfish in the modder river and dams. Only did a small amount of fly fishing before I left mainly targetting yellows in the vaal and a tiny bit of saltwater in KZN but I left to NZ soon after.
Good fishing there buddy. Lovely rainbow. I noticed you have like 49 k subscribers, which is a heck of a lot. But nowhere near the views to match the numbers of what you have. I'm just wondering if you bought some subscribers because I believe you can do that to get the numbers up? Because I've seen it the other way too where theres a whole lot of views which outweighs there subscriber count. Waikaremoana, hunting, fishing NZ is a channel and he has 58 k subscribers and on average has less than 1k views per video. Dunno its just a question that has me thinking they can't be organic subscribers.
Not bought but I used to have a lot of shorts when shorts just started. At the time I had about 15k subs. 2 or 3 shorts took off and got over 20 million views and with that about 20k plus subs. But they were kids thinking my one short was a fishing game 🤣 so none of them watched anything else and my views tanked. 3 months later I deleted all the shorts but the subs stuck. Then I stopped posting for a while and since then views have never been the same. But I just make videos for fun again now and I'm happy and couldn't care less about subs or views anymore. Hope that makes sense.
