Vol. 2 of 3 fantastic flyfishing videos, features backcountry fly fishing in New Zealand. Shows trout fishing at its very best. Compiled from 3 separate days of fly-fishing & features a 25 minute tutorial on fly-casting by Mike Weddell, a former British & World Champion Fly-caster. Available in PAL or NTSC. VHS, 118 min.
'Shown are several insects and the flies we use to represent them. Having a reasonable knowledge of when and what insects are abundant at any particular time of the year can often make the difference between success and failure.
The opening section features a bright summer's day with Robbie McPhee fishing his way up a beautiful sparkling stream that supports both large rainbow and brown trout. An upstream breeze with an occasional strong puff of wind blowing terrestrials onto the water, thus keeping the trout interested in surface feeding all day. This proved to be a most memorable day indeed, one of those days that most anglers can only dream about. Robbie hooks and lands 15 trout that average in excess of six and a half pounds each. All are caught using his favourite dry fly, the Wee Muddler. We show Robbie tying this fly.
The weather on day two is in total contrast to the first day, dull and cold. Keith Mitchell joins Robbie for this days fishing, and unlike the first day when only dry flies were used, both nymphs and dry flies are presented to some fine trout, however not all were accepted. Keith demonstrates tying his successful nymph.
The third section is dedicated to Mike Weddell showing us how to improve our casting and fly-fishing in general. Mike is a natural teacher of his skills and much can be learned from this compact 25 minute tutorial.
The final segment is Keith and Robbie fishing an Otago river trying their luck for sea trout. Once again a combination of nymphs and dry flies are used. You won't be disappointed. Robbie ties his very successful, in Robbie's words, "non descript" , black bead head, caddis nymph.
The most frequent comment from those who have watched my latest production has been, "an extremely enjoyable and exciting video to watch, abundant with information and will prove to be very popular with both novice and experienced anglers alike".

WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
Fishing.net (one of our leading on-line fishing journals): ( "This video was long overdue, the best trout fishing I have ever seen on film, laid back Kiwi anglers, spectacular surroundings and enormous trout, the whole thing is captured brilliantly".)
New Zealand Fishing News: ( "Production values are high, the camera work is superb, and the featured anglers while low key almost reverent... are so absolutely stoked with their respective catches, that the viewer can't help but be caught in the scenes".)
The New Zealand Troutfisher: ( "I enjoyed the video immensely, very instructive in a nicely relaxed way that should appeal to the broadest possible audience. So many films around today are the total opposite. Congratulations to the whole group for so clearly showing how Kiwi's really fish")
Keswalls Fishing Centre. ( " The video was given to the Fishing Centre to view and review, we loved it. A real joy to watch the gang of fly anglers travel to streams and rivers catching some lovely sized trout out of the most scenic rivers that I have ever seen. It's a very relaxing tranquil tape to watch and you will gain a real insight into the country and the sport".)
FlyLife Magazine Australia & New Zealand. ( " There is something about huge fish that is special. The adrenalin flow that begins as you catch the first glimpse of the trout in the fast flowing water increases as the indicator drifts down the current and just about boils as the rod buckles and the fly line disappears. You are feeling somewhat drained as the trout is eventually released. This is emotional fishing-even the featured fishermen feel the tension as luck favours one and not the other and the odd harsh word is spoken. If you haven't fished the rivers of New Zealand you will learn a lot from this video, in an informed way, about back country fishing. The scenery, the quality of the water in the rivers and the action are spectacular. Its not peaceful , 'bread and butter' stuff but rather exhilarating energy-sapping action (and I was only watching!) Its all a bit different from the trout fishing that most Australians are accustomed to. Heavily weighted flies on fluorocarbon tippets; felt soled wading boots; charging down stream to keep in touch with your quarry; frequently cradling 10 pound trout before their release".)
