I'm becoming an avid steelhead fly fisher and enjoy any new information on fly fishing for steelhead, which is why I bought this video, even after I read the rather unfavorable review posted here. I wasn't expecting much, but hoped for some information on the river. When I watched the video, I was pleasantly surprised!

This video covered several sections of the river and gave me a pretty good understanding of what to expect when visiting the Rogue.

I particularly like the way the video shows me and tells me what kind of flies are being used and what equipment is being used. I've found that quite lacking in other video's, but it seems to be a consistent trait of the Fly fishing videos produced by Bennett/Watt, the producers of this show.

I'd recommend this program to my friends and have.

As extensive as the Rogue River is, it would seem logical that there would be an abundance of scenery to present. I was disappointed that I viewed only a few different fishing locations. I felt the focus on the host as opposed to the surroundings was detrimental to learning about the River itself. I was also very unhappy that a significant portion of this video was an advertisement for other products.
