Back to regular programming in Australia - I catch my smallest trout ever

Back to Australian Trout Fishing After New Zealand Success | Tough Day on the River | Gloucester NSW First trout fishing session back home in Australia after an epic trip to New Zealand with Spencer in March 2026. I headed to the Gloucester region on a beautiful clear river with zero expectations… and the river delivered exactly that! 5 hours of hard fishing with the Euro nymphing setup, switching between nymphs and dries, and I finally landed the smallest trout I’ve ever caught. A proper silver fingerling to bring me back down to earth! In this video: • Pierre Sempe nylon + Trout Hunter 6X fluorocarbon • Full gear rundown including my Thomas & Thomas Contact II, new Simms Access Boots & Fishpond Stormshadow Chest Pack • What I eat on a full day fishing (nuts, trail mix & chocolate + bakery stops!) • Honest reflections after fishing world-class water in NZ Sometimes the fish win. This was one of those days. Timestamps: • 00:00 – Intro & setup • 03:35 – On the water in Gloucester • 07:00 – Food break (Steak pie & Blood Orange drink) • 08:35 – The smallest trout ever caught • 09:20 – Full gear talk • 11:00 – Final thoughts after a tough session Even on slow days, being out on the river beats everything. Grateful to be back fishing at home. If you’ve had a tough fishing day after a great trip, drop a comment below — you’re not alone!
