Casting At Shadows - New Zealand's South Island

Our latest film, shot in New Zealand’s South Island, follows three anglers setting off on the trip of a lifetime, with two very personal reasons to make the journey. Battling against some of the worst weather in 25 years, they go the extra mile to search for trophy fish. Set in some of the most spectacular scenery anywhere in the world, this is a DVD that any trout angler must watch!

Midge in the morning
A small little film from a gorgeous morning in New Zealand. Flat water, sunshine and hundreds of rainbows and browns feeding on a midge hatch for three hours. When we figured out how to catch them they queued up for our nets. Most fish were around the 1 kilo mark. Small fish for New Zealand, but they were all well-conditioned and strong fighters.

Tussock Tango
In New Zealand each year we spend 1/2 our time fishing the small -- tiny streams of the Tussock Lands. The fly fishing is as "unpredictable as", with large browns and hot rainbows in streams that can literally disappear under a canopy of overhanging tussock grasses. Of course, the brutal Nor'Westers that sweep across the landscape at 140+kmh when heavy rains batter the west coast of the islands. The tussocks themselves are a neat micro-habitat for various birds, bugs, and trout.

In Our Time
We're fortunate to enjoy 3 months fly fishing the South Island of New Zealand each year. On each trip, our time, we're completely engaged in the fly fishing, the landscape, the birds, beech forests, tussock lands... and we simply lose ourselves during that time. Of course, the fly fishing is spectacular - both easy as and tough as, but that's how it goes. In Our Time is in reference to not only what we do, but how the New Zealand trout go about their business of feeding - they'll get there they say 'In Our Time".

New Zealand Wilderness Stream
his movie is opening day on a New Zealand Wilderness Stream 100 km from Gisborne. It's a rainbow and if you are lucky you might get browns. It really is a spawning location but if the weather stays bad the trout stay in the stream longer than usual. You sometimes have encounters with wild red deer and wild pigs. People negelect the most obivious places sometimes. This stream was found accidently by actually seeing a guide guiding a customer here mid week.

Opening Day. NZ. Murky Waters.

A challenging spot
Stalking a nice NZ Brownie in a tough spot that required an approach from up on a cliff above. I tied a new terrestrial pattern the night before and was a good chance to give it a whirl... Always fun to see a fish give it the all clear.

Opening Day. NZ.
The long awaited opening day for New Zealand's river trout fishing season.

Truites géantes en Nouvelle-Zélande
It may be French, and it may be an ad for a travel agency, but the fishing is pretty easy to understand. Giant trout of New Zealand.

Casts that catch fish : fly casting instruction
Casts that Catch Fish, a new fly casting instructional video from Master Fly Casting Instructor Carl McNeil that turns the instructional DVD genre on it's head and gives it a well needed kick up the ass! Stunning shots by super clever cameraman Earl Kingi. It's all there and executed with super high production values, ear tingling audio and plenty of slick effects and animations - courtesy of the funky people at On the Fly productions.
