Fly Fishing Videos

One thing I have always enjoyed is watching Fly Fishing videos.  If I can’t actually be out fishing, the next best thing is watching it.  This started as long ago as when video recorders became available. 

I lived in California in the bay area at the time, in the mid-80’s.  There were a couple of Fly fishing shops nearby that I would frequent.  One was Creative Sports in Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek with Andre Puyans.  They had rod building supplies which encouraged me to build my first fly rod.  I went to their fly fishing classes and they had a good selection of videos.  My favorite videos were the Doug Swisher series and the Gary Borger series. These were not only highly instructional but also entertaining.  I could watch them for hours. 

Now that we are in the age of DVD’s, I transferred these old VHS tapes to DVD. 

Also during my years in California there was a show on every Saturday called Fishing The West.  I would record the episodes that included fishing for trout.  I now have these on DVD too. 

Of course my collection has also been augmented by the more recently released videos currently out on DVD. 

The past couple of years I have been taking the bus to work and I pass the time watching these DVD’s on my portable DVD player and noise cancelling head phones.  I will review a few of my favorite DVD’s in future blogs.  Here is my current list of DVD’s from my fly fishing video collection.

  1. I can't believe you actually own all of these videos! I'm glad you can at least watch fishing when you can't fish. Now I expect a blog about table tennis.
    Love ya.

  2. Wow!! That's so many!! Holy cow!! That is really cool!!! I'm so glad you have all these.
    It's funny you mention the ones in the 80s. Nick loves a show called the new fly fisher, all from the 90s. At the end of every episode it says," visit us on the world wide web" lol! The Internet was so new they didn't even say "online" yet.
    Sorry the weather has not been very nice to you. This spring will be better for sure :)
