SPECTACULAR BROWN TROUT in the RAIN / South Island Diaries 8
SOUTH ISLAND DIARIES 8!
I head to the South Island once more to explore new water, revisit some favourites and catch up with some of my favourite people!! In this first episode, I drive South and stop off on the way to fish a little stream that can produce the goods. Then jump on the boat and kick off the trip with a new river and some terrible weather!!!
Stay tuned for some of the best trout fishing in the world!

Yes , you truly are a blessed man, thank you again for the great video. 👍
Thanks bro
Yeah South Island diaries🎉🎉🎉
AI is incredible!!! Those fish looked real!!
Alex, as always in awe here, of the places and life you get to see and feel in those wild places. That's before you even wet a line. I imagine that many of our waters in Scotland were something like that, before the deforestation, grazing and industrialisation took over. The weather definitely compares! Another Fly fishing masterclass buddy, with outstanding empathy for the beautiful places we are still lucky enough to travel through, thanks for that. Mike. 🎣
Well, if you’re gonna have a 1 fish day at least it was a beaut like that brown. Good god. Thanks for another adventure!
Excellent video thanks Alex
Enjoyable vid, mate. And what a brown! 👏
That browns colour ❤
Beautiful fish, Alex.
Nice 😊 🤠👌👌💯💪👍🤙
Good to see that I wasn’t alone struggling for fish this summer!
Another great edit! Man, the number of times netting a fish in a tight spot when I'd love either a retractable rod or an extendable arm LOL.
Hungary fish are so much fun!LOL Chet Looks like the American west!
Another banger man!
Colors on that fish.. wow
Incredible colors on that brown!
That brown was a terrific looking fish. Being that dry, I am sure the ranchers, farmers, and fish were glad you brought them some rain. Will try to be patient while waiting for more videos from the South Island.
i fully support your channel
You are amazing. I think in my next life I'm coming back as you. Save me one of your knives. Cheers
Great video Alex ... magic piece of water ... looked very similar to Fiordland back country
One day I will get down to the South Island. Nice fish and video mate
Awesome video.... Thank you.
Love watching your channel, even if you don't catch a fish all day, i still learn from you, your stealthy approach is great!. Plus the size of the browns you bring in are astoundt bro!! I watch every video! Thanks for making these for us!
You are very wild....and very luky to born in new zealand. Luke from Italy
Nice 👍
Thanks Alex. Good to see you back down our way. Tough day out….great to see you posting such videos. One fish is still a great day.
🔥
Great video and spectacular photography. Love how you treat the fish with such respect. Hope to see your country some day.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hard yards mate, but great effort. Still great to see that back country though.
That was the brownest brown I've seen , stunning fish well done.
"Spectacular water"! I love the SID's, thanks Alex
Nice variety of fish. One long and skinny and one chunkster. The variety of shapes, sizes and coloration of the SI browns never ceases to amaze.
One of your best Alex...amongst the elements..great looking brown
you r such a fisherman! beautiful landscapes and amazing fishs! you make me dream !
Three big browns on the dry on the way to the ferry, not a bad start.
Great video as always. The brown trout was amazing! I also like the clip of you listening to the Darren Clarke podcast. As a former golf instructor my main passions are golf and fly fishing. Good to see a fellow fly angler into golf as well!
The south island is very beautiful and there are great fish too
One of the prettiest fish ever brother thanks for sharing
What a stunning fish - beautiful colours!!!
Lovely brown trout Alex.Don't think the other liked the soundtrack...😈
Great browns and Ioved the dry fly takes! Your videos fuel my passion for the outdoors!
Challenging weather, cold hands and spooky fish. That chunky monkey was a sweet reward. Love your channel buddy, so much fun to watch!
Great work and can’t wait till the next episode
So good with the weekly dose , you make a rainy days hard fishing into brilliant content.
Incredible scenery and water! Too bad the fish decided to take the day off! Thank you for sharing.
:razz: Dunno Mate, looks like you got a bit hungry after the Airplane gummies...Is it a South Island thing? 🤣 Well done, Alex. Thank you for extending even more go into my NZ plan. Keep the videos coming! Love it!
Nice start alex.that first stream was very typical of my home water👍💯
Very cool water dude💥
Even a tough day out fishing is a good day. Nice Alex. 👌👌👌
Its like fly fishing heaven to me that, what a beautiful place!! Good fishing Alex, very good!!
7:41 - a top angling moment! Very skillful.
Great effort Alex. Looking forward to see more episodes of South Island!!!
Beautiful river, beautiful fish. 🎉
Another "season" of the South Island Diaries, can't wait to see it all!! Sick brown after that grind, well worth.
Looking forward to more of your adventures....great fish!
The browns with like 5 spots are my favorite!
There you go again Alex…look forward to Fridays with anticipation of a new video from TOT!
great great video 💪can't wait until next friday
Almost the same color as your reel beautiful fish mate
Stunner was he!
Thanks Alex, that was a beautiful fish!
Tough day but that's fishing. Always like your vids Alex, keep'em coming.
That first brown was a hell of a caught with a hell of a cast! Good work, Alex!
Good to see you back in the south, tough days make it all the more rewarding when you get one , great video as ever 👍
Some start Alex , the first little stream was some difficult casting, you done it with ease ! Some trout to finish with . Looking forward to seeing the next episode 👌👌Atb Tony 🇮🇪🇮🇪
great as always, seeing this while its absolutely bucketing down here, the weather may have followed you but you left the worst of it behind.
Well filmed, as always. That brown was truly epic. It amazes me that such a nice river is not teaming with fish. Maybe the few "sharks" hoover up all the smaller fish...
We only get those type of fish a few weeks out of the year when stealhead run. The size browns you catch would be near records in michigan
Good stuff as always 👌👍
❤❤❤
🤘🏼 Darko Brown. What a stud fish that thing is. That might eclipse the oh shit fish for me. That other fish was ghastly huge but this one looks like a beater truck!
I mean, obviously, the launch rocket oh shit fish was insane but the colors here are sick 🤘🏼😵🤘🏼
Def one of the best looking fish I’ve seen dude
Great fish there at the end, fantastic stuff. Can you do a video some time on soft hackle nymphs, as in when you fish them, why and how much weight you generally have on them
Roger that mate
@Trippin On Trout sounds good, mate 👌
Stunning looking fish. I hope you catch some more in this river system for another video. The bronze colour of the river bottom seems similar to the fish colouring ?
Yep they are masters of camouflage 💥
Another amazing video, it's absolutely my favourite notification to pop up, Q: are you going to hit the canals while down there for a monster fish, this is on my bucket list in December when I fly over, any recommendations. 🇦🇺
Okay so I envy you in 99% of your videos...this one!!???😬 just kidding brother always better to be on the water than not! Great stuff thanks for the suffering!
Great videos, just stumbled across the channel and really like your approach. Curious why you tap the rod just above the handle before a roll cast? Is that to help take slack out of the line between the guides? Also, is there a function to the buff/bandana on your casting wrist beyond having it at the ready? Seems like it would always be wet or damp if you had to throw it on to combat sun/insects. Heading to NZ in a few months and wondering if it's worth adding to the packing list.
Welcome to the team bro ! I’m tapping the fly off the guides so it drops into the water and I can start fishing quickly.😉 As for the buff, def bring a few with you - they are essential bits of kit here. I just like to keep the buff on my wrist….it’s my ‘thing’ I guess🤷♂️
@@TrippinOnTrout definitely giving the tap a go next time I hit the water!
Is there a reason why you opt for a polyleader over a traditional tapered leader?
Are you anywhere near Reefton?
Great channel champ.. I've only just found you videos... do you gide 0:00
Yep i do
@TrippinOnTrout nice.. love the content by the way... I just had a day out around wananka only 3 days ago and now I'm back in Australia.. wasn't very successful and want to.come back as soon as possible..that might be 12 months.. what area do you guide around? Danny
Did you say 19’ leader…holy shit
Yeah man
@@TrippinOnTrout holy crap, I assume it’s the clear water and spooky fish? Do you guide on either island.? Ive been fly fishing since I was 7and nZ is definitely near the top of the bucket list. Let me know. Thanks -Matt
@@mattier3030 I do guide both islands yes but mainly in the north
Why is your leader so long? Is it because the river is very deep?
Becoz the fish are so spooky
As you might know, I watch all your video's. But as a Dutch guy I wonder, why do you in New Zealand catch only big and very big fish? I never see fish of 20-30-40cm. And are there no native species except from these big eels?
hay if ya know your fish is wrapped please take pressure off!! they usually unwrap them selves
Whoever told you that our weather has been dry was lying! We barely had a Summer
