Lo and behold! A fishing DVD that warns about profanity, nudity, drugs and alcohol on the cover! And actually features it all inside along with some really well produced large pike fishing from Alaska and some portraits of people, locals, not-so-locals and strangers, who all have their characteristics and opinions. Heehaw!!

Bonefish
|
Charles Rangeley-Wilson and Matthew Dyas 
A quest after the catch of a lifetime, a giant specimen of the most spooky fish in the whole wide-blue ocean - the bonefish, ghost of the flats - a fish that will mess with your eyesight, your nerves and your sanity!
Writer and presenter Charles Rangeley-Wilson on an island-hopping odyssey, a journey that'll take you by plane, mailboat, taxi and bicycle, in the colourful company of the extraordinary, ordinary people of the Bahamas - all of whom have something to say about a fish that is carved into the identity of the place, about where we might find our prize. And the spectral, nomadic giant-bonefish will take our search down to the wire. bonefishing-cover.jpg

Destination Trout - New Zealand
|
Intrepid Angler
If you have plans to go to New Zealand or just want a confirmation that New Zealand is a worthwhile destination to put on your list of places to fish before you lay down your rods, this is a DVD you want to watch. It's some years old, and not quite up to today's standards, but it has an amazing running time of three hours and a very systematic coverage of both well known and lesser know locations, offering a very thorough coverage and a mouth wetting appetizer for anyone with NZ dreams.

This classical bonefish book from 1992 has now been totally revised to reflect the most recent development in bonefishing and has had a well deserved visual overhaul with more color photos and a very nice layout. The book is very hands on and practical in its approach, and reading selected chapters has already taught me a few things I didn't know as well as given me some valuable tips. The chapter on fly patterns is excellent and well illustrated. A worthy revision of a true classic. Vist Dick Brown's own web site for more info.

The DVD also features the portrait of a punk band that has a common passion: fly-fishing in the form of the video Reverb. The DVD is chuck full of great footage, close to three hours altogether.

The story of two Scandinavian anglers fishing in New Zealand and getting lost, only to find a desolated cabin and a diary left behind, written by a third Scandinavian angler. The diary possesses especially one of the anglers who relives the story in the booklet and seeks out the author. Funny, entertaining, beautiful... different.

Portraits of a Fly-Fishing Landscape
|
John Juracek
I bought this book based on the cover and imagined a nice, large coffee table book with a wealth of gorgeous pictures. A used price of well above 30 UKŁ or 50 US$ indicated the same. But my disappointment was big when I saw the book. The images are gorgeous alright, but the book is a small and thin paperback without the least coffee table effect. I could of course have looked at the physical description of the book: 64 pages and a modest size of 22*16 centimeters or 8˝ by 6 inches.
Considering the price, that's a VERY expensive book, and not at all what I imagined - even though the images ARE beautiful.

Proven Patterns
|
Barry Ord Clarke
The concept of small booklets with patterns has been seen before, and offers a quick overview over a small number of patterns in a small handy and not least inexpensive format. Barry Ord Clarke's first three booklets offer 10-15 patterns, some with detailed step-by-step pictures and some just with a single image or two, a materials list and tying instructions. The pictures are very high quality and the average quality of the booklets is equally high. The price is about 4 UKŁ or 6 US$ per book, which is a very low price for a book, but not dirt cheap when you consider that you get about 35 pages in a very small format. Still some very accessible books, which are perfect for beginning fly tyers. More titles are underway with more salmon flies, bass flies, carp flies an many more.

The Complete Illustrated Directory of Salmon Flies
|
Chris Mann
This is a massive and impressing work by Chris Mann whose books we hold in high esteem here on the Global FlyFisher. With more than 1,800 fly patterns listed, each meticulously illustrated in Mann's superior style, This is probably THE title you want as a reference to salmon flies from the whole planet. Running through the indexes - by tyer/originator, fly style or name - is simply breathtaking - not to mention every single page with its many patterns.

Kent Fraser, Nick Reygaert, Craig Worthington, Mat McHugh and Simon Cox 
Five NZ friends have obviously been surfing Google Maps too much, circling small spots in French Polynesia indicating probable bonefish spots, places to go for GT's and generally interesting looking spots. In spite of the improvisational philosophy of this project, in spite of the chances taken and in spite of the somewhat random events that are chained together in this film, it's become an excellent production.

The Underwater World of Trout
|
Wendell (Ozzie) Ozefivich 
It's been a long time since I spent any time in a classroom studying the concepts of refraction - how a wave (in our case a light wave) changes direction as it crosses the boundary layer between two different media.
In "Trout Vision and Refraction" - the third entry in Ozzie Ozefovich's "Underwater World of Trout" series of DVDs - we get a much deeper understanding of the importance of air/water boundary.
