Fly Fishing DVD Review

Intro to Fly Fishing

"Why Fly Fishing"

WE WERE recently treated to a copy of the new film "Why Fly Fishing" — funded by The American Museum of Fly Fishing and created and produced by Jeffrey Pill (the former senior producer of 20/20 and creator of "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies," "The Art of Speycasting" and "Joan Wulff's Dynamics of Flycasting") — and were frankly blown away by the quality of the production and the care with which its content was assembled.
