Review:
Pick up a nymph, tie a woolly bugger streamer, and grab a bunch of dry flies--it's time for fly fishing! Offering a great introduction to the sport for beginners and a good refresher for old hands, this high definition DVD provides simple, clear-cut instructions and gorgeous visuals. Hosts Jim and Kelly Watt cover fly tying, knots, equipment, basic fishing and casting, as well as advanced techniques, demonstrating an obvious love for the sport throughout. In fact their gentle enthusiasm is downright contagious (a friend who watched the program with me had to be nearly hog-tied to a chair by his wife to keep him from lighting out for the local sporting goods store). The '174th fly fishing related program released by Bennett-Watt HD Productions,' who know their subject inside out, this is highly recommended.
