FLY FISHING NEW ZEALAND | Early Season with High Flows

From: Highcountry Flylife

There’s nothing like a crisp October day on a secluded stream, and today’s video is all about soaking in the early season vibes. Armed with a Douglas Sky G rod and a trusty Lampson Guru reel, this angler navigates narrow gorges, rain-fed flows, and some wily trout.

It’s a day of quality over quantity—six beautiful trout landed, ranging from lean fighters to hefty slabs, with a mix of dry fly and nymph action. From tweaking setups to chasing flashes under the water’s surface, this video is packed with real-life lessons and a whole lot of trouty goodness.

Hit play to see how small streams can deliver big rewards!
