Trout Disneyland: the North Island of New Zealand with Alex Waller The Destination Angler Podcast

Our destination is the North Island of New Zealand with backcountry fly fishing guide and YouTuber, Alex Waller, Trippin on Trout, Taupo, NZ.  While the South Island often steals the spotlight, the North Island produces Disneyland-sized trout and more rivers than you could fish in a lifetime.
Alex was born in the UK, came to New Zealand for skydiving, and stayed for the fly fishing.  After a sky diving accident that nearly took his arm and leg, Alex made fly fishing, guiding, and documenting his wild and remote backcountry adventures on YouTube his passion.  Today, Alex explains the differences between the North and South Islands, how to land big trout, seasons and fly patterns, and why remote, backcountry fly fishing recharges the soul.
