    12.08 - that's a Wayne's Blowfly...designed by Wayne, one the guys from our warehouse. He's stoked about the shout out, even if you did call it ugly 😁😁

    Interesting to see that the best days in fly fishing are not determined by the size of the fish one catches. Lovely video Gareth, excellent videography transmitting your impressions of the day - easily one of your best videos

    Brilliant to get the hook up at around 6 minutes on the drone and to see the fish run. Your camera work is really impressive. Thank you for sharing it with us, looked like a perfect day.

    Nothing better than reeling in all the slack line to catch up with the fish to have it continue its run even further upstream!😄Nicely done all the way around.

    Another great video, Gareth! I finally got to catch my first trout of 2023 on a small creek in North Georgia. Nothing like the amazing scenery and big browns you've got in New Zealand. But, at least I'm not just sitting at home watching your videos 🙂 Keep the great content coming!
