Product Description

The Rogue River in Oregon State... Flows through a wide variety of country, from the flat plains north of Interstate-5, down through the steep canyons of the coastal range. Though many of the steelhead on the Rogue are what they call "half pounders"... There are some big fish to be caught as well. The Rogue River not only provides excellent fishing water, but terrific white water rafting as well.

Morrisons Lodge... Located on the banks of the river has been famous in the Rogue River country for 50 years now. The steelhead on the Rogue, once pursued by such angling luminaries as Zane Grey, are making an excellent comeback in this spectacularly beautiful river. Gwenn Perkins and guides from Morrisons Lodge pursue these historical creatures with gusto.

Fly Tying... Alec Jackson compliments an interesting several days of fishing on the Rogue by tying a "Skykomish Sunrise" from the Hooked On Fly Tying Popular Northwest Steelhead Patterns.

Knots... Dave Perkins demonstrates two new Orvis knots.

3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting preview of the Rogue, April 22, 2000

By	Monty Wendt (Oregon) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed..., January 6, 2000

By A Customer

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.
