Fly Fishing Video: New Zealand Backcountry Trout

You’d be hard pressed to find a serious trout angler who doesn’t have New Zealand on their life list. The brown trout there are legendary for their size and selectivity, and if sight-casting to big fish in complete solitude is your thing, there’s hardly a better place.
This week we’re showing a segment from theflyfishingDVD.com’s new “Backcountry Trout,” an example of the trend toward making downloads of high-quality fishing films available over the Web. Australian fly fishing expert Peter Morse, along with guide Nigel Birt, demonstrates how a careful approach, the correct fly choice, and observing fish reactions all make a difference on a bluebird day in the New Zealand lowlands.
