Thread: Looking for good short fly fishing video

  1. #1

    Default Looking for good short fly fishing video

    I need a good video to show my class what fly fishing is all about. I've seen a few good ones but they are long and my students may not have that attention span. Thought it was worth asking in here. I teach high school special ed - mostly learning disabled kids.

    I'm looking for a something online that I can pull up on a computer in class.

    Thanks!

    Have you thought about making a PP Presentation and adding clips from youtube? That way you can talk about aspects of fishing and show a relative clip.

    I was looking for the one that a fly-fishing videographer had put together, about what fly-fishing is to him. It was a fantastic video, I'm sure somebody had posted it here on FAOL within the past year or so. Anyway, I didn't quickly find it, so here are a few other ones you can check out to see if they fit for your purposes.

    I recommend this; http://www.amazon.com/Why-Fly-Fishin.../dp/B001TJU2GS It was done a couple of years ago by the American Fly Fishing Museum and besides Joan Wulff features John Gierach, Diana Rudolph, Nick Lyons and others.

    There is more FF material on youtube than one person could complete.

    Look up the Grey Reef outfitters video on Miracle Mile.

    If you're in an urban setting, that tends to host carp in it's waters, where most people would ignore it as a fly fishing opportunity...you'll love this one. To me, this says that fly fishing is available to everyone.

    There is a great movie trailer for the fly fishing film, 'Once In a Blue Moon' about fly fishing in New Zealand. It's on youtube, just search fly fishing videos. It's about 5 minutes long, packed with scenery and big fish.

    TT,
