Dan and I shoot up to Turangi, in the centre of New Zealand's North Island, for a quick, impromptu weekender after many weeks of not having a fly rod in hand.

Arguably the best time of the year to fish the Tongariro River is late September through to December, and she didn't disappoint... battling the sun, wind, rain and snow we had a ball... not large fish, but the smiles say it all.

The Tongariro River has a charm all of it's own, it's unique by New Zealand fly fishing standards, from the gear and rigs used, to the casting, which is difficult, the deep swift current necessitating long leaders, large air-resistant indicators and heavy flies. But the method is a lot of fun and very social. The bonus is the river is located amidst majestic, high-altitude scenery, not too dissimilar to Canada.

Filmed on the Canon G3X, Drift Ghost S and Galaxy S7.

Thanks for watching, Andrew
