Hello, I am a huge fan from US and I have been spinning fishing for my whole life, but just this past month I have started fly fishing, and your channel was a great motivation. Thank you for uploading!

The water is so clean and those fish are beautiful. Its good to know there are places like this that exist on earth. I have been fishing 30 years and have never seen so many big trout.

An amazing series Gareth, well done on catching all of those incredible fish!! 🤙

Hey Garath, what a sensational series of videos with unbelievable fish. Thanks

Awesome!! Beautiful fish and river!! I wish I could fish there!

Awesome 👍😊. Your videos are amazing. Last week landed my first King Salmon on the fly. Amazing experience

The aerials are amazing!

Hi Gareth, beautiful fish! You sound absolutely nackered, about you came back to Taupo for a bit of R &R! Harera

Amazing fishing mate loved it 🤙🏼.

Great series Gareth...

Watching this with green eyes. Dream trout fishing 🎣

Thank you for making this video brought back happy memories of fishing the Waipakihi river many years ago with an amazing man . If you look in the Tongario National Trout Centre look at some of the exhibits and you will see some by a man called John Milner. That was the man who introduced me to some amazing fishing in New Zealand..... Unfortunatly he is no longer with us gone to the great fishing place in the sky. Stay Safe . Bill M8-) Scotland

Covid sequestered by stupid non-cooperative denizens. Watching your outdoorsmanship, your appreciation for those humongous creatures, and especially your sportsmanship are deeply appreciated. Isn't it a wonder that in this age of despoiling there's such clear, clean water and exquisite life swimming in it? Keep it a nuclear secret. Please.

BEAUTY channel, just subbed keep the videos coming

Does like nobody in New Zealand keep trout to eat? Any trout over 3lbs in the states is considered a giant and any trout over 10 is a trophy. I highly highly highly recommend keeping one for a catch and cook. If you can fillet the fish keep the skin on. Season it with salt and lemon pepper and garlic, fresh or powder works. Sear the skin till it’s golden and crispy. Then sear the flesh side till it’s nice and brown. Serve it with Brussel sprouts and top it off with a Lemon butter sauce and dill! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Fish this size likely don’t have the best meat. Ideal eating size for trout is between 2.5 to 4 pounds imo. It seems to be a difficulty to catch small fish over there

Are the waters that you generally fish considered public waters? I live in the United States, Colorado, and fish like the ones you catch are far and in between?

David Schmidt, I don’t know the exact name, It’s just what I’m told from other people. Plus, one look at those trout and you can immediately tell that they are not supposed to be that big. The only way trout grow to that size is with human intervention,

I have been a really good spin fisherman for trout but I’ve wanted to get into to fly fishing. I’ve tried it before and have caught some fish I just always have a hard time selecting flies. Do you have any tips for that or any go to flies you can always catch fish on no matter the time of year? Big fan from the US keep up the great uploads!

I wondered why the fins and tails, were all damaged, and are so big. Read the other comments, is that correct, Stock fish fed on pellets ??. Still using bite indicator, start fly fishing. Please use a Bouyance aid, on the water. Enjoyed the vidio stay safe

Everything I know about NZ fishing comes from this channel but some of these fish just don't seem natural. What kind of food source in a free flowing river can make them that fat? Big shouldered steelhead right out of the Pacific are never that fat...Inquiring minds and all. Love virtually all of your work.

We generally have the same 'issue' with the saltwater species too. Its pretty good living down here, but hey the grass is always greener on the other side right?

You're quite right, they are spawning fish, and if anglers are as passionate about the fish as some say they are, they should be left alone to do their thing. I have been a CSI guide for over 20 years, and don't know of any others that actively target spawning fish, but F&G regulations do allow this....... this is just me personal opinion.
