Pirates of the Flats

[Fly Goddess]

A program on this morning on ESPN2 209 on Direct TV.
Bone fish was the Target and hunters were:
Tom Brokaw
Michael Keaton - who knows how to cast!!!!
Lefty Kreh, whom was NOT using TFO[]
author Thomas McGuane, mountaineer and industry leader Yvon Chouinard and photographer R. Valentine Atkinson.

I guess Bone Fish are in trouble (like everything else these days) Sad.

Oh well Not meant to impress.

I have watched the series since the first episode and have enjoyed it very much. The folks at the Cape Eleuthera Institute along with with the folks at the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust are doing some really great research and conservation for these flats fisheries. There has also been some incredible footage showing sharks stalking the bonefish while on the line and after release. I think that good production quality fly fishing shows are a good thing and I hope this one is successful and that it will lead to more in both saltwater and freshwater.

BTW:I have never been bonefishing or saltwater fly fishing of any kind, for that matter. I just enjoy the show.

Saw the show. Didn't know the bonefish were in trouble till now. I guess it's been coming on for a long time, and I wonder if it isn't something cyclical? I hope so.

Carp may be next.

May not mean much, but my brother did the remote audio for the show and really enjoyed spending time with Lefty and Yvon.

Who's gonna complain when you get a free casting lesson from Lefty?
