This is one of those rare films that regardless if you participate in the activity it is promoting or not, you will find something that appeals to you.

You do not have to be an angler to appreciate this film-It is an entertaining, awe inspiring and educational film.

The camera work is top notch and the scenery is mind blowing.

If you enjoy the outdoors at all, to any degree, you must buy this DVD. If you are into photography, biology, botany or, last, but most certainly not least,fishing, you must buy this DVD.

I own many outdoor related, hunting and fishing videos and DVD's and this is the best film of it's kind I have ever seen. Actually, it is in a class by itself. I have never seen a fly fishing film that comes close to the quality of this film.

Two Thumbs up!!!!!

Stunning Photography May 29, 2009
Format:DVD
Absolutely stunning photography. It was a real treat to visit some of these special fly fishing locations deep in the south island of New Zealand. The combination of helicopter views and underwater scenes made it a visual delight. While I'm not a fisherman I was still able to appreciate the film for its story, scenary and biology lesson. Definitely a great one to add to a DVD collection.

This was a very well done documentary. Yes, it had it's fair share of excessive casting & (huge) trout footage, but not the typical "trout bum" style of film that's being made these days. I really enjoyed the scientific approach and explanation of the impact of the mice population explosion. The mice evidently not only attract big brown trout, but some very large eels too! The beautiful scenery shot from above (helicopter) & below (underwater camera) make this a worthwhile purchase on their own. I would love nothing more than to fish some of these lakes & streams - the water clarity was amazing. Video is about 45 minutes in length, just about right.

Pretty pictures
The scenery is great. The photography is great. The actual fishing time is fairly short. There isn't really anything in the way of show and tell, how-to, or gear time. Read more

Not quite what I expected.
From the reviews I read, it was made out to be an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime event. Don't get me wrong, there is some great cinematography and some amazing browns being caught,... Read more

A humble opinion
It's a good film as far as fly-fishing videos go. Where most are rather dry and look like they were filling the vacuum of pre-utube quality self made films. Read more

Beautiful film
I needed a gift for my father who is an avid fisherman, but wanted something that was more than just two dudes on a boat all day. This film is fantastic. Read more
