5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful film..., March 4, 2009

This review is from: Why Fly Fishing (DVD)

How great to discover a film that helps show and explain the attraction of fly fishing, both to those who already love it and to those who don't really know anything about it. The people in this film are not only true masters of what they do, but also at showing and telling us why they love what they do. For those who've already cast a line, "Why Fly Fishing" will invariably remind you of the first time you caught a fish on fly. As you watch this beautifully produced DVD, you will be simultaneously reminiscing the wonderful moments you have had in this amazing sport and the joys you will have in the future -- the ability of this film to make you ponder is powerful. "Why Fly Fishing" truly taps into the magic that it describes. I recommend it to all seasoned anglers and, just as important, also to anyone who may be curious about the sport.

This review is from: Why Fly Fishing (DVD)

"Why Fly Fishing" is a beautiful film, one which instructs, informs, entertains and, best of all, evokes all the emotion we who fly fish feel when we are fly fishing. The viewer is made to feel good about the sport and the many interesting people who practice it, and to feel the urge to get out again and go fly fishing. The production values of the film are superb, and the participating characters are all wonderful. Buy "Why Fly Fishing" and, after you've enjoyed it a few times, put it right next to your copy of "The River Runs Through It."

5.0 out of 5 stars A heavenly film about a heavenly pastime, October 16, 2009

This review is from: Why Fly Fishing (DVD)

Fly fishing is an amazing pastime. (I had initially used the word "sport", but to me fly fishing is far more than that a sport.) It has been just over a year since my first introduction to fly fishing, so the delight and pleasure of fly fishing is still new to me. This short film beautifully conveys the magic of fly fishing, far more than I had thought possible. If you have ever wondered what is so special about fly fishing, you should watch this amazing film. Books cannot adequately impart the joy and beauty of fly fishing, and the cable programs on fly fishing equally miss the mark. Why Fly Fishing, in contrast, manages to do this, and to make you feel what is so special about this activity. Beware, though: if you do not yet fly fish, I suspect you will want to rush out to purchase a rod and reel once you have seen Joan Wulf et al. provide a glimpse of fly fishing's enchantment.
