Hill Country Brown Trout

Pure Fly New Zealand heads into the rolling hills of the South Island in pursuit of big, wild Brown Trout in this episode. The remote country and meandering rivers in the mountainous regions in the east make up some of the most fertile land in the world, dominated by big, intelligent Fish. Mike Kirkpatrick and Jake Berry know this area better than anyone, but the conditions aren’t ideal. In the clear water, the fish are easily spooked, and both men have trouble on their first day. The small natural patterns are being shut down, so the boys change locations and tactics. An aggressive trophy browny finally attacks Mike’s streamer pattern, which unlocks the code for a legendary session of the finest mountain fishing in the world.
