We returned to New Zealand this past year. Our favorite country, our favorite locations, our favorite water and our favorite fly fishing. After so many years away and so many years visiting we decided to buy mountain bikes in order that we not only experience the beech forest trout streams but immerse ourselves completely with a wonderful ride up a series of old mule train gold route tracks.

Love seeing you guys on bikes! Bikes and Rods - that's a good life : )
one of our favorite things to do and we did a ton more of it this year now that we finally got on top of the video footage mountain project (way too much footage on the drives!)
Just amazing how beautiful the nature is. Very nice fishes! Greetings from Estonia 🙂
The world has its gorgeous spots :)
Wonderful place! Very clear water is inpressive~
A stunning stream for sure. 😊
Stunning video! Love the fishing and nature highlighted through your video. Kia Ora from Auckland NZ, awesome to see you made it over!
Ah, this video was from last year. We're soon to come over once again and so looking forward to life in the humid white cloud (compared to 10 to 20% humidity of Alberta winters!) Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Beautiful❤
Love these streams and glad to be able to share 😊
Absolutely gorgeous scenery beautiful trout and awesome video💪👍 just Subscribed

wow very interesting content friend
Thank you
you're welcome@@jensenflyfishing
Очень красиво, приятно смотреть!! Оператору БРАВО!!!
Love these forests and the streams that weave through 😊
those spots are beautiful, would love to fish there
gorgeous water & forests to immerse into - we love these too :)
During our 2019 trip our heli pilot took us over closed gold pit mine. Wondering of the gold is all in that same area. Said the gold mining was marginal and they made the decision to stop it, the pristine rivers being far more valuable.
There's definitely been gold mining through the years on the West Coast, along with some in the Nelson area, Coromandel and some in the Otago region too. I believe there's a rather large gold mining operation in the central Otago region that's still very active - Macraes. The reality is that many "pristine" rivers in NZ have numerous impacts from industry and development. Agriculture is likely one of the biggest.
True, the increase in irrigation and cattle ranching took a toll on some of the lower elevation farmland rivers. @@jensenflyfishing
@@big1dog23 yeah, the low elevation waters are the biggest changes for us - we used to love them, almost all of them, when we came back 2004. These days, while transient fish early are wonderful, peak of summer drought is so driven by the impacts of Ag reducing thermal cover, obviously compounding with water withdrawals. It's unfortunate to say the least.
Spook Cityyyy
Best kind of water 😊
I'm so excited!
Perfect place to be!
Man not many fish in that river. I live in new zealand and see about 50 to 100 fish in 1km stretch
Intresting. Where are you living ??
We tend to fish a LOT of waters in NZ that have 3 or 4 to maybe 10 or 12 per km. We do tend to focus on the oddball waters tho! 😊
AHHH fare enough the place did look absolutely gorgeous. I live in rotorua
Just a question - do you only fish water where you can see fish? I’m new to ff, but virtually all of the fish I catch are in water where I can’t see fish - even clear water where they are just perfectly camouflaged. I’ve got to think there are more fish in there than you saw, but I am genuinely curious about the conditions and approach.
Not at all but we certainly go out of our way on this channel to ensure we show trout behaviour and locations. The key to our channel is to realize we're specifically focused on sharing exactly that, focused on filming trout behaviour, locations and why they are there so when you arrive at virtually any stream you'll instantly envision why a trout is attracted to or likely to be at specific habitat or structure. But no, there likely weren't more than one or two other fish in that creek - 3 more that didn't make the video because they were doggo to heat and drought. Between 4 sets of world class trout sighting eyes and shallow water lies there wasn't much chance any other fish were missed. 🍻
Is there a link to the lodge?
Check out Maruia Motels 😊 in the wee village of Maruia, S Island
hope the tourism board slips a few buks your way for the promo
not likely! Just trying to help out Ash & Amber @ Maruia Motels :)
🤝🤝🤝🤝👍💯
:)
More yap yap then fish😊
Might have misses the point of the video? 🍻
Passing by so many beautiful spots without casting a fly? 🤨
I would be plumbing those deep underwater shelves with streamers. Where else could those fish be hiding?
I noticed this in a lot of NZ videos. They pass a lot of prime looking water that should certainly have fish. It usually seems like if they can’t see a fish in it, they won’t fish it. It could also be that the fish density is quite low so there isn’t many fish to begin with.
@@jayk.2276 The fish are sometimes so well camouflaged that you don't see them at all.
@@Franky46Boy right. Or I’ve had countless takes of fish darting out from cover to smash a fly or streamer.
No matter how beautiful and fishy looking many NZ rivers are, the fish can be few and far between. Often It's simply not very productive to be prospecting/blind fishing. That's why NZ ff'ers have refined the stalking/sight fishing approach.
Hello, I am writing from Turkey, I have been following you for a long time, I think this was the least fishy one among your videos I watched. Half of the video is devoted to cycling; frankly, I wanted to see more fish.
Hello and welcome. 1/4 of the video is mountain biking - immersed in the same wondrous ecosystem and we enjoyed fly fishing, the same water that shuts down due to heat and low water as we shared - why the fish were few as they were. Thank you so much for watching but it is odd that we seldom (ever?) have read comments from you to the positive but the first chooses to express negative?
@@jensenflyfishing I love watching you, but as I said, I am a trout fisherman and content other than trout hunting does not make me very happy. I wish you continued success…
@@biroltangutI thin you've missed it completely - how can you be a trout stream angler and not enjoy the environmental values of where we immerse into and appreciate it through varied eyes. But more to the point: it is incredible that you have followed and appreciated us for so long but have never commented on our videos anything positive/supportive yet your first comments are 'I don't like this'. To anyone else reading this: if you truly value someone, please express support along the way, otherwise if you are silent in support and you only comment when you don't like something, it is quite discouraging and robs the joy of the creator who is sharing their art/value of what they love.
@@jensenflyfishing 🤗
Love the video’s but CRINGE at the ‘Aye’s’, Dave..
They're actually "eh" as every Bob & Doug McKenzie fan should know🍻. If I was kiwi they'd be 'ay' and if aussie they'd be 'aye'. Funny thing happens when you travel the world, people talk funny - and not American centric! 🤣
you should sue them
More walking than fishing. Ridiculous
I think you are missing the point…
So glad to see someone beat us to that reply ❤️🍻
welcome to effective fly fishing
A real fly fisherman/ lady takes everything in.. to get a hook up or if your lucky a capture…this memory will be lodged in his or hers head forever… the beautiful life of the trout lives on
The video of you reviewing the warranty on a $20 beard trimmer tells me everything I need to know. Looking forward to seeing your empty plastic contain of nightcrawlers on a river bank.
These would be good videos if there was a lot less talking
And you've missed the entire premise of our channel.
