It seems that someone has uploaded my father’s old (early 1980′s) Scientific Anglers film, “Fly Fishing for Trout,” onto YouTube (in six parts, see links below). Watching it makes me realize how fast the years have flown by when I think that my father was my current age (39) when this VHS(!) video was popular. Not so sure [...]

[ Javascript required to view QuickTime movie, please turn it on and refresh this page ] A favorite place: Oregon Coast. While this has nothing to do with fishing (unless you count the fact that out there in the ocean, salmon and steelhead are waiting to return), I still hope that you find it worth [...]

Yes, the day has come. A mere 17 years after its theatrical release, you can now snag a copy of A River Runs Through It on Blu-Ray. My copy is on its way today. Here’s to hoping that a few deleted bits from the fishing scenes are back…

Last month I posted about the new NZ-centric video, Once in a Blue Moon (mouse hatch!). Well, it appears that it is now ready to go, and available for early (pre-Amazon) purchase from Stu’s Fly Shop on NZ’s South Island (scroll down to see the packages Stu has with the DVD). If you decide to [...]

A little bandwidth consumption from the “From the Archives” department. Actually this is more like, “It’s Saturday night, I need to make a quick post, and look what I just found in a long-lost folder.” Origins aside, this is a much more visual follow-up to the Triple Shooting post that I put up here in [...]

Catch Magazine #5 is here and lookin’ good (as always). If you already subscribe to/read Catch, then you know all about it. If you don’t, you should! Go have a look. (And catch the Catch Blog here.)

Once in a Blue Moon 60sec promo from Bumcast on Vimeo. Just this 60 second teaser makes me miss N.Z. is a bad way. It has been far too long since I wet a line in those waters and watched a big South Island brown consider my offering.  I am eager to see the places [...]

In 2007, I wrote a brief piece looking back at the production of A River Runs Through It (watch It on-line). It was the 15th anniversary of the film’s release and I guess I was feeling a bit nostalgic. Anyway, the Trout Underground linked to it, and a bunch of traffic flowed to my (then) [...]

[ Javascript required to view QuickTime movie, please turn it on and refresh this page ] While a link to this DVD already appears over in the sidebar, I thought that I would eat some bandwidth and post a short QuickTime clip—slightly modified—from the video. If you happen to be looking for the new-wave in [...]

After the recent FishFace Radio interview, I got a couple of questions about the infamous Slide-Ball Slider and Tarpon Cay. Since YouTube has the vid (in fancy new player colors now), I thought I’d let the TC video speak for itself: Update: A sample of the fly in question, up close and obvious:

While this link was already posted in a comment about the Corkscrew Curve Cast, I though that I would make it a post, as well, since it is a serious example of the skill. How far can one cast a Corkscrew Curve? Have a watch and find out (from Lasse Karlsson). Note also that Lasse [...]

As a kid, I had many fly-fishing opportunities afforded to me as a result of my father’s work in the industry. One of those opportunities was to travel with him across the country as he taught in the long-ago-disbanded Fenwick Fly Fishing Schools. Those schools were a strong part of my formative fly-fishing education, as [...]
