1956 fly fishing show - You Got To See This One!

[ldice]

I love watching old footage of the outdoors like this one. Thanks that felt good. We used to have one of those shows in the Kansas City area produced by the longest running fishing show host Herald Ensley.I don't think he shot any footage in anything othe than 8mm reel to reel, even in the modern age of 15 years ago.

Thanks Nighthawk, very neat video. Great casting, but based on the movement of his arm, the flyrod looks like it is very heavy when compared to the modern graphite rods.

Thanks again Nighthawk!

Thanks and regards,

That was just great.

I enjoyed that. Thanks! Hope you don't mind, but I posted it on another FF board, along with an encouragement to check out FAOL.

It's amazing to watch that fiberglass load up, and the tip of the rod bow so far foward, yet deliver the goods on target. The tip bounce doesn' seem to distort the loop, but I think it is partle because of the exaggerated(by graphite standards) follow-through at the end of the foward casting motion. Neat film. Guessing the bass fishing portion was shot in Florida? Thanks for sharing that!

Yeah, that was a really neat clip; loved the bass he caught. Thanks for sharing.
