Clear water gives Gareth a chance to spot his quarry before casting, and Nala has come along for rather more than a walk. Trout Hunting NZ's new river outing pairs patient stalking with a Labrador who takes an interest in the fishing herself.

"Trout Hunting with Nala " was the week's only upload, reaching about 1,500 views in its first five hours. Gareth says this stretch needs the weather to line up just right. After filming upstream with a documentary crew in flooded, brown water a few days earlier, he returns to conditions that allow him to pick out fish in the shallows.

The fishing changes as he moves upstream: careful casts into a current pocket, cloud arriving to spoil the light, then a powerful rainbow running among the rocks. By the later stages, Gareth is crediting a flash caddis as an increasingly dependable fly. Viewers pick out his roll cast over a boulder while connected to a fish, compare the river with Patagonia and ask where he gets his flies.

Across the channel, views are running a little below their usual daily level, while subscribers held steady. The earlier "Good Trout, Bad Luck & One Loyal Dog | Fly Fishing New Zealand" has the strongest daily momentum among the listed older uploads. Nala is a recurring companion, not a one-episode guest: that trip also follows the pair exploring unfamiliar water, with several good fish getting away.

A nearly year-old backcountry outing with Gareth's mate Dustin is also drawing viewers, keeping the North Island's smaller trout streams in the picture alongside the new dog-and-river adventure.
