Tongariro Roll Cast

Straight out of the spey casting files comes The Tongariro Roll Cast.  Looks like Herb here is executing it with an indicator and weighted nymph to make the cast that much more impressive.  When big fish are feeding hard on nymphs or eggs, this cast would get your fly in front of lots of bruisers in places you could never get your line out due to limited back cast space.  Well worth trying to learn I'd say.

Best Of Big New Zealand Browns

Went to NZ in 96/97 and had heard the name Tony Entwistle back then.  Judging by this video, he's still guiding clients to some large brownies.

7 lb Brown on Tenkara???

If people keep catching bigger fish with Tenkara outfits, Tenkara might just become an Olympic sport.  You'll need to be fitter than a curler to pull it off anyway (sorry Canada).

The Frontside Fly guys have branched out into the Garageband remix stage of their careers.  Check it...it's gooood.

Monster New Zealand Browns

Not only quality, but quantity of quality... if you know what I mean?  Now that I think of it, all those debates about quality versus quantity have just been solved with ... all of the above.

Monster New Zealand Browns

Nearly all dry fly and all sight fishing, there's some incredible footage here from Dave and Amelia Jensen.  I'm on a Jensen fly fishing kick today and you should be too.  Enjoy!

Sight Fishing For Trout

Dave and Amelia Jensen from Alberta, Canada teach how to spot, stalk, and catch trout.  And from past clips I've seen of their's, they'll teach it while showing you some monster trout.

Sight fishing combines the excitement of the hunt with the rest of a typical fishing situation.  Planning the approach and seeing the take are actually my favourite parts of the overall experience.  This video may be worth the clams if you feel similarly.

dry or DIE

It appears our friend Rolf is digging that grave.  The New Zealand trout seem to be saying no to the dry for toooooo long.
