Conference wahoo::fishing

Last night i watched a film called "Nymphing" by Gary Borger. It was ok 
but i understand that Dave Witlock has a nymphing tape out that is much 
better.

A man after my own heart. Lets go catch em!!!!

I guess you guys are right! I'll give it a try this weekend 
if it is a half way decent Saturday. Mean while though, I 
had the opportunity to see a film "Flyfishing For Trout" by 
Gary Borger. I liked it so much I recorded it for future 
reviewings. This film covers alot of basic stuff and is good 
as a reference type, instructional source. I haven't seen 
his "Nymphing" film mentioned in an earlier response but 
will keep my eyes open. I liked this Borger's film best 
because the information was presented in a clear, orderly  
manner. The camera men also seemed to know what they were 
doing also so it made for some nice shots and an 
entertaining atmosphere. I'd recommend this one to anyone 
interested in flyfishing especially if your a stream 
fishermen.

I also saw a film called "Bass Fishing From Top To Bottom" 
and I was not too impressed. It's probably worth renting on 
dollar night but I felt it wasn't worth recording. The 
camera work was not that great, infact it seemed that on 
some pieces there was only one guy doing all the filming 
from one angle. Also, the pro who was doing the instruction 
tasks, was talking to fast and had such a southern type 
accent that I had trouble, at times, understanding him. If you 
see this film, let me now how you felt about it?

	RE: .5

	Where do you go to rent fishing videos?? Also, what formats
	do they have (VHS & BETA, or just one..)

	Thanks,

I live in Milford, NH. and have rented VHS tapes from "Video 
Village" near the IGA food store and "Cinema Scope Video" at 
the Edgewood Shopping Center. The second source has a better 
selection. Most of the larger video rental stores have these 
tapes and usually store them with the exercise films. 
 These fishing and hunting instructional tapes seem to be growing 
in popularity and I believe there will be more and better
selections in the future.
 Don't forget to let us know if the one's you pick are any 
good!!
 

I have seen some videos available in the Bass Pro Shops Catalog, but i did not
order it yet.

They can be reached at 800-BASS-PRO.

OK, Back to the fishing video's.

I just rented one of the 3M tapes titled "Anatomy of a trout stream".

Its primarily concerned with Western type spring creek water (Filmed on 
the "Take it easy ranch".) but its really quite good. Gives a good over-
veiw of different stream/river area's such as riffles, runs, flats and 
pools, reading each respective type of water, techniques to apply and 
some suggestions concerning types of flies for each water. Most of this
stuff applies equally well to our typical Maine freestone streams and 
rivers. 

Additionally there are some GREAT shots of the expert hooking and losing some
massive "bows" and actually holding his comments to himself.

All in all a good tape and worth renting and copying by the flyfisherman.

If the other tapes in the 3M Leisuretime collection (there are quite a 
few) are up to this quality I would plan on gettin them all.

                                                     Tight lines

          Just found this topic and here's my suggestion for a
    dynomite SALMON video - 'SALMON SPECTACULAR' by a guy named White
    (Bill Tom Bob or something).
    
    	It's a FANTASTIC underwater video that ends with the landing
    of a salmon that weighs over ............ well you'll see.
    
    	I rented this one a second time to 'prime' my buddy and I for
    our first charter to lake Ontario (Aug. 1988). It worked.
                                
         ***** You've just gotta see this one! It's a must! *****

    RE: .13
    
    Ed,  I've got a copy of the tape you suggested.  I also have a
    copy of "Nymph Fishing" with Gary Borger and also "Fly Fishing
    for Trout".  The only one I was overly impressed with is "The
    Dry Fly" with Hal Jannsen.
    
    RE: .14
    
    Joe,  are you talking about Charlie White?  He has a video out
    on salmon fishing.  I went to see him at a seminar he put on
    in Burlington years ago.  He had cameras on 2 downriggers and
    also had 2 downriggers with line and lures.  He showed actual
    footage of BIG salmon going from one lure to another and showing
    the fish's color preferences,etc.  He also showed how fish react
    to the different scents (Dr. Juice, et al.).  He kept pushing
    the use of solunar tables for fishing, especially in the ocean.

    		Charlie White - That's it. It's a "don't miss" video.
    
    			'Salmon Spectacular'  -  and it is!
