Only the River Knows |

Green Tide |

We are used to seeing New Zealand in connection with fly fishing. The North and South Islands renowned fishing for trout is so well covered in video and text that it's almost tiresome... |
|
2010 |
Giants of the Em |
Mountain Media |
Large Baltic sea trout caught on spey rods in the classical waters of the river Em. Beautiful autumn impressions from a water that has been world class for a century.

The opening scenes of River Wolf - after the titles - are no less than breathtaking. And by that I mean breathtaking in the literal sense of the word. |
|
2008 |
Feeding Time |
Drake Magazine |
A single disk! And that's it.
No real DVD cover, no colorful photos, no neat booklet. Just the title printed on a white DVD. |

Equilibrium |
Grant Wiswell |
A fishing film in the form of a classic documentary - and a good one of the kind. A close to perfect mix of environmental consciousness and fishing action, but all too short. |
|

Hard core casting videos are not as common as fishing-in-the-places-of-your-dreams videos. |
|
2011 |
Casting trio, The Pefect Cast - Distance and Delicacy - Cracking the Code |
Henrik Mortensen |
These three DVD's on casting and salmon fishing are quite an odyssey through these subjects and at the same time a journey almost as far around the world as you can come. |
|
2006 |

This video has a nicely paced intro with great ambiance shots of the Christmas Island. Miles upon miles of pristine flats. Indeed! |

Bob Jacklin is one of a handful of true legends in Fly Tying, and certainly needs no introduction here. |
|
2006 |
Bass |
Jamie Howard |
With trailers available nearly a year before the film was available for purchase, BASS: THE MOVIE was indeed one of the most hyped fishing films in recent times. |
|
2010 |
A Year in the Life |
Jonathan Tomlinson |
Jonathan Tomlinson's video "A Year in the Life" is an hour of mesmerizing fish porn. Or should I call it fish erotica? That sounds a bit more sophisticated
