Fly Fishing for HUGE NEW ZEALAND Rainbow and Brown TROUT - CEDAR LODGE New Zealand
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- This latest fly fishing film from New Zealand was shot with Eleven Angling at their Cedar Lodge on the South Island. Fly fishing New Zealand for big rainbow trout and brown trout on the crystal clear backcountry rivers during the southern hemisphere's fall season can be very challenging with low crystal clear water and very large trout but a the same time can be the most beautiful time to visit.
Hunting big rainbow and brown trout while fly fishing these rivers of the South Island is a bucket list trip. Together with Eleven Angling’s Brian O’Keefe, Todd explores the South Island Alps region and the Makarora River for some epic trout fishing.
This film takes you via helicopter thru some of the most incredible landscapes on the planet. O’Keefe and New Zealand guide Paul Wright use hunting-style walk/wade techniques to spot and stalk feeding trout with dry fly and nymph tactics.

Absolutely incredible!! You have a true gift Todd. I tell all my friends that you are my favorite fishing film maker/editor. Keep up the hard work. I had the honor of going to NZ this last February for my honeymoon and had a magical experience. For anyone that likes fly fishing for trout, there is no better place on this planet to go. Endless bodies of water, from streams, creeks, rivers and lakes. You can spend a lifetime there and fish new spots almost daily. Thanks for letting me reminisce a bit with your video. God save the queen !!!
That guide is amazing.
@CatchMagazine drops a new fly fishing video. It’s gonna be a good day. Epic as always Todd Moen.
Thanks for watching. Appreciate it!

Beautiful cinematography!
Thank you. Very much appreciated. 👍
TM and BO in NZ, all at their best!
Thanks BH!
I was there in 2019 and this pretty much captures it. Anyone going for the first time is crazy not to hire a local guide, at least for the first few days. New Zealanders love to fish and do keep some fish on certain rivers. Given that they do not stock any of their rivers and that trout farming has been outlawed it's not that easy to find good fishing with easy access on your own.
Practice makes perfect.
Spettacolo meraviglioso😍
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
😎🎣
Thanks!
BO literally lives on the water and has for decades. He doesn't need a YT channel, giant Insta following, or a podcast. He just gets out there, makes memories, and leaves it at that....simple and the way it should be done.
Great movie! You sum it up beautifully. Looking forward to getting back there.
Thanks!
fabulous as always ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Amazing, just amazing. What is the song that plays at 5:09? Such a good song choice.
Thank you! Song title " Water Music"
Another great job Todd & Brian. Hope to see you somewhere soon
Thanks!!!
Oh Em Gee!
Seeing they filmed with the fly still in the mouth of the fish i hope they caught and released
Always release, always. Catch Magazine rarely even holds fish completely out of the water for filming.
Great cinematography…was he using a Winston Air 2 6wt?
In this film and all the New Zealand films coming up over the next few months, I took 9ft 6wt Winston Air and Winston Air 2 models. These were fall conditions, low water, spookier fish so Brian was throwing a super long leader up to 25 ft with a small indicator. The 9ft 6wt Air 2 was his choice, just had that extra backbone to get that super long leader out and still able to hit a target even with a little wind. It wasn't easy, but he was able to be successful in tougher conditions.
Привет из России 😊 👍👏
Awesome Video! What camera was used in this video?
Thanks!
Panasonic X2 plus drone cameras.
@@CatchMagazine thanks for the answer! I have another question left🙈 I really want to start making wildlife documentary, but I’m not sure if I should get a camcorder or a mirrorless camera? I only used some small camcorders from camcorders since is started filming 😅 and did you colour grade the footage in this video? Or does the footage out of the camera look like this? It really looks awesome!
what size rods are you using down there on that river,,,,,,,,
Primarily 9ft 6wt rods. In this film we used R.L. Winston Air 2 9ft 6wt rods. Some people like a 5wt for NZ but I feel it’s just a bit under gunned as the fish are big and the wind can be a factor.
Anyone know what Winston models being used in video
Hi Glen,
In this film and all the New Zealand films coming up over the next few months, I took 9ft 6wt Winston Air and Winston Air 2 models. These were fall conditions, low water, spookier fish so Brian was throwing a super long leader up to 25 ft with a small indicator. The 9ft 6wt Air 2 was his choice, just had that extra backbone to get that super long leader out and still able to hit a target even with a little wind. It wasn't easy, but he was able to be successful in tougher conditions.
If I was a millionaire… till then I’ll fish my creek
Please post the Kendjam video back!
What is the single biggest factor that explains why the NZ trout get so huge?!
We all know about the salmon farms and the record trout, but the entire nation has massive trout, in just about every body of water. Is it the habitat, the environment, the topography and geolocation of the islands, the forage, the mice, the cicadas, all the above, or what? Or is it reflective of a perfect conservation plan? If anyone has any input I'd love to hear it. Cheers.
Accessibility. Getting to these places is remote and difficult access. Hence the helicopter. Because the rivers and streams are not heavily fished, it gives the trout the opportunity to grow.
@@adrianwilliams763 , no offense, but I just don't believe that is a major factor. A factor, but not a big one, definitely not the number one factor.
There are an endless number of productive trout waters in the world that are far more remote and unpressured, yet still produce much smaller trout. Think Alaska, parts of Europe, Russia, and on and on....
NZ is 7 times smaller than Alaska alone, roughly 64 times smaller than Russia... that should put things in perspective.
It seems to me that the reasons are that
1), NZ is simply the perfect habitat with ample forage,
2), they've practiced excellent conservation, and
3), the phenomenom of hybrid vigour following the early introduction of browns.
They rapidly become the overwhelming dominant predatory species in their waters. A few generations later and they were worl-class strains.
Let’s not forget: trout are the invasive species in NZ. No predators.
@@craigbigbee6395, yup! I totally forgot about that one, thank you. That alone could be the most significant factor. There is literally nothing that eats the large adult trout there, besides humans where harvesting is allowed. I think you could have nailed it.
Brian is THE fly fishing porn star!
HA HA HA!!!
