When we first heard of "Once In A Blue Moon" last fall, we thought it was going to be just another pretty fishing video. Well, in fact it is a pretty fishing video, but with some obvious extras: clever scripting, a unique story, and some of the most gorgeous camera work we've seen in a fly fishing DVD.
"Once In A Blue Moon" follows an attempt by some New Zealand fly fishers to track down what can be loosely called a "mouse hatch." The idea of hitting the timing just right -- when an explosion in the rodent population puts the biggest trout on the feed -- leads to landing some very nice fish on big mouse patterns in stunningly beautiful surroundings. As a bit of early-summer escapism, we're happy to show you a lengthy clip from the DVD, which is just now available for sale in the U.S.
