You guys are amazing. Seriously, tying up flies and shaking my head watching your content. It's like grad school again, but for fly fishing. I rewind repeatedly to think through what you say. I'm more of a tight-line euro guy myself but there is a ton to learn about playing big browns here, raising my odds with the net. Decades of wisdom.
That's neat discussion isn't it? Glad you enjoy it all.

Love how you always take us on a mini-adventure, and Amelia’s big rainbow and Dave’s last brown were SO beautiful. I don’t get keeping the reel right handed and switching back & forth during the fight, but to each their own ;). You land plenty!
Glad you enjoy it and happy to share. 😊 The left or right thing is only 'wrong' when you aren't on your natural side... that's when the reeling error occurs, not in the changing of hands.
Not a right or wrong thing to me, just ‘different’. I grew up spin fishing, and always felt comfortable fighting with my right hand (dominant) and reeling lefty…carried over to fly fishing. But then again I skateboard goofy-foot and play hockey lefty. So who the heck knows.
Just amazing!!! Beautiful intro and then the guided stalk of that rainbow (the big head on that thing!). That side-hook set makes so much sense can’t believe after 50 years it’s the first time I have heard it. Thank you.

When my son was 5 or 6 yrs old and starting to want to fish I would set him the task of catching live grasshoppers while I fly fished with artificial ones he would take quite a while then when he got one and brought it too me I would put it on a hook so he could cast it out on a bubble float. He would usually get a trout straight away, he still fly fishes but now with artificial 35 yrs have passed, his daughter now also fishes with him.
@@jensenflyfishing thought I'd tell ya as I've been using that method for over fifty years and jungle perch are really tricky to nail by conventional means
@@mickzammit6794 trouble is that on most trout streams bait has been outlawed for about that same amount of time! My biggest river cutt came in the 80s on a black gnat with a golden stonefly attached 😊🤣🍻
Watching this video highlights a new large grasshopper/locust that has appeared on a north canterbury river we fish. I first noticed them about five years ago never seen them before in all our time fishing the area. they've migrated up stream and are appearing right into the foothills. In flight they look like a small bird, maybe in years to come we too, will have epic hopper fishing who knows? meanwhile thanks for another great video.
Ha! Maybe we brought some eggies with us 😄😉 I shouldn't kid as that's essentially NZ in a nutshell! But they're neat buggers and in drought seasons can go off the charts! 😊
They may well be endemic and the conditions have been right the last few years,or bloody aussie interloper's the westerly winds have been relentless the last few years.
@@steveenoka7454 🤣 no doubt! Funny thing... the wind in Chile.... is freakishly relentless. We'll NEVER complain about the NW ever again. This season's wind in NZ haven't even registered with us as wind given the daily freight train there. Every day 80 to 120. E v e r y day.
These kinds of comments are always relevant only to themselves. The fact that I have shoes entails I'm spoiled to have feet to some; to others having time or $$$ to fly fish is spoiled to others. It's the world and internet - all the best. :)
As a kid I would spend afternoons chasing grasshoppers and bugs in the field next to the little stream next door for bait. I thin the only things that compete are crickets and earthworms
Those are the best days in life. The world is too woke and populated to allow for anyone to admit to doing that these days but man... those are the romantic days 🫠🥰
Wonderful video...Thanks for posting such beautiful places and emotions!!😊 Can I ask you wich rod is using Amelia? It seems an Orvis Helios 3, but not the usual 3F 9'wt5. Altough it not seem to be a "Blackout"...I don't recognize it!😄
great to hear you enjoyed this one - a lot of fun :) There's a new rod in the works and we've been field testing it the past year or so. It has a few markings on it but these certainly don't have the market version. Dave's been pretty much using this rod exclusively since we got it a year ago. :)
ha! I guessed it!😄 because I couldn't find any model with that graphic... Do you think the Helios 3/blackout will remain top of the range? Let me explain: I have to get a rod, I wanted to know if it was better for me to take a helios 3f directly or wait... I don't know what range that rod occupies, but I've always had a great time with the helios 3f! I wouldn't want to take a rod that becomes "outdated" after two weeks...Just to know, because then, every fisherman establishes a special relationship with his rod, whether it cost €1000 or €300, it doesn't change; the important thing is how you feel that rod, because we are all different! 😊 As always, beautiful video, and thanks for the precious advice ... One day I too will fish in those beautiful waters .. For now, however, I have all of Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia to visit .. I recommend the Neretva basin, in Bosnia It's the coldest river in the world, it's really beautiful, with huge brown trouts and grayling... Paradise..🤩
@@phioshin I don't think I'd worry about this or that rod on the market. The one you connect with is your rod, truly. I loved the H3 but now that I've had this other rod in hand a year it's more my rod. Technology advances in time but for some that's not always better as sometimes physical weight and slowing of action is actually more enjoyable. So really it is what you connect with that matters! 😊🍻
You keep coming here wanting us to do something different. This channel is about fish behaviour and sharing the how. By sharing and showing fish behaviour and where they are located in relation to structure you can then envision where the fish will be in relation to structure on your waters. Not sure we'll ever change because it's incredibly fun and interesting to film. Lots of other channels that just go fishing... we focus on the above and this takes HEAPS more time and effort to film, edit and share. All the best.
@@dankochanek8056 you keep trying to get us to do differently rather than appreciate the world class moments/footage we capture and the time it takes to do so. Given this coming year we'll have 26 videos of white space in our calendar year - our membership getting our best and full versions- there's only so much we can truly share and focus on. Thanks for your support in what we do! 😊🍻
@@jensenflyfishing Who said I didn't like/love what you post? Just looking for something different for us that fly fish. You want our money but not our ideas. I've moved on.
@@dankochanek8056 ummm... the only comments we've seen from you the past couple of years have exclusively been 'why don't you do ___(something else)___?' That's all we're responding to here. We do what we do, very well. Regarding the $, we get that you don't value what we do enough to support us on our Patreon site and that's fair - 8B people on the planet do as they please and value as we do 😊 This is what we do for a living and we can only do the best we can and offer the world what we do. All the best. 🍻
fish are always going to take and head to left ..fish dont head out towards bank running water and angles ////identical takes ..good fishing to you guys oooooooo
Well maybe watch and listen to what we shared and why and see how you can influence the take directionally through all the fish. They will come shallow to a point and will go out as well. Getting them to do what we want is the point, and then close the deal from there. Watch close. 😊🍻
The cliff cast is absolutely iconic
Always give it a go and see what happens! 😊

@@jensenflyfishing nice, will do
That was an epic Rainbow, Amelia.
A great series of jumps on that one!
I stumbled upon casting from a high bank and sight fishing as a great combination.
Glad for you that you did. The best way to fly fish in our worlds. 😊

bubble floats and drift hoppers. summer dreams, right there :) a beautiful beginning :)
Another stunning quality video. 👌
Love these trout! :)
To catch tricky jungle perch I put a spot of Loctite Super glue on a crickets back and set the hook on it. If the fish strikes I've got it.
That'd about catch these too! 🤣🍻❤️

As soon as I saw “Grasshopper” I had to watch.
clear water, hoppers & browns is tough to beat! :)
Wow that rainbow took you for a ride! Sweet. When does “hopper” season generally start for you all?
Kind of late July typically and through early October depending on when hard frosts arrive 😊🍻
Turbo charged bow :)
Loved that! 😊 no quit in it for sure
Reel in as fast as you slide ;-)
I wonder if that'll spook the other fish? ;)
@@jensenflyfishing it will entertain all the others 😇
The dreaded big fish slow take
If "dreaded" puts a smile on your face, then Yes! 😁
Let's do a series where it's not sight fishing and it's just straight up guessing where the monsters are. For the people who go to the river alone!!

Not really true at all given how much we watch and study fish behaviour. Again, the discussion points are important. All the best!
