Ok, Castwell won’t spill the beans, but I will. OLN is going to do the following shows based on FAOL:
“Dude, where’s my flats boat?” Our beloved Gary beaches his flats boat to go into town for a drink. After a few pops, he forgets where he left it and the camera follows him as he stumbles from beach to beach, frantically searching for his boat. Rated “R” for adult language.
“Northern Exposure.” Canadian guide Chris Chin books a group of clients, only to discover they are practicing nudists. The wisdom of fishing barbless becomes apparent early on. Rated “R” for nudity.
“The Price is Right.” A new weekly program where RonMt discusses the price of fly fishing gear. Rated “G”.
“Angler Dave goes to White Castle.” After a hard day of fishing, and a harder night of partying, Dave gets the munchies and goes out for sliders. Rated “R” due to adult themes.
That’s the four in the can. There are some others being considered, such as “Salt Water Fishing in Ohio” (ha, that never gets old, does it Tuber), and an animated series, “Beavis and Benjo”.
Any other suggestions?

How about,
“Swimming with the Tide”…what moves out faster, a yak, or a Lithuanian yakker? See Dave swim. Go Dave go. Pant Dave pant. Gasp Dave gasp…etc, etc.
LOL!..Beavis & Benjo

#1 First session ends with Dude finding his boat sunk in his new pool and his gold fish bowl filled with the bait fish he netted early the previous night just before someone brough over a bottle of rum.
#2 Ends when all the guys get arrested for being in a fly fish only area, fishing with worms.
#3 Has DMicus giving a running commentary on how all the equipment is too expensive and you can use nailpolish to make flies or your dog’s hair for dubbing or taking a tire iron and heating it up with matches taken from your local bar and annealing it to a surgically sharp edge so you can save 32 cents on a sharp instrument called a razor blade.
#4 Ends after AD eats the six White Caslte hamburgers he had to order to eaqual one regular sized hamburger. It was the onions and grease that brought him down.
By mentioning White Castle, you brought back a vivid memory of my uncle taking me to Sheepshed Bay so we could go fishing for fluke on ne of the ‘party boats’. We stopped in at the local White Castle and ordered about 2 dozen each. Those little square burgers were $0.12 each at the time.
What’s the lowest price people recall for White Castle burgers?
How about Jacka** the Striper Fishing show where some pompous blowhard talks trash on trout fishermen, infuriates gear reps industry wide and extolls the virtues of Phluger Rods and reels, incidentally the only products that he can still get a pro deal on.
Steve Abel can be a guest and when he outfishes the host there can be a fist fight over the price of his reels. Abel will win the fight of course, after outfishing the host on his own home water.
What about “Micus Unlimited” or Survivor FAOL style, last one to get drunk and pass out wins. Contestants will have to build their own flyrods from bamboo and vines and use coconuts and palm leaves to tie flies for immunity, a get drunk for free pass.
Who has time for stress when there are fish to catch.

Hey Tyeflyes;
“lowest price”. As I recall the White Castle logo included ( all in blue)in a circle above the words , a big “5” and the cents symbol.
As far as a FAOL/OLN network show, we can have a bass ffing section with participants wearing “regular” shirts , using boats with pulls start 15 hp motors and speaking “Boston” english. I just picture using an egg timer to guage the “run” of THAT show.
How about Jacka** the Fly Fishing Guide. Who breaks his leg trying to mount a mule. While recovering he finds himself suffering from memory loss which leads to the mis-spelling the names of not so expensive fly fishing reels such as Pflueger.

Hmmmmmmmm…
I see Harold,loads of semi naked models and all the pirates drooling in their rums.Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…I see Micus hooking himself in the back of the head trying to get a better view…I see stumpy cruising "jaws"style awaiting an opportunity to grab a girl and Dude fighting him off wearing a see through wetsuit.I see Rev trying to keep the morals high and evil Dave smooth talking a bunch of girls.
Hmmmmmmmm
You just described the fish-in. But I know for a fact that purebs destroyed all the videos, he did not want his lovely wife to see them. I know that the Dude was also one of the Video police. So I am sure none of it got to oln. So even though it sounds good, I do not think they will get that segment.
I am not sure the Dude even has the invisible wet suit anymore. Linda was trying real hard to get the pool finished, and knowing her she would have given the Dudes favorite rod away to get that done.
And we all know the story of the watermelon color flats shirt.
