Fly fishing music video

There is an increasing amount of DVDs available on fly fishing and fly tying these days. You've probably seen at least half a dozen DVDs on fishing exotic destinations. Many are directed using National Geographic scripts trying to give the viewer a valuable view on what the visitor can expect there.

Then there is AEG Media's Trout Bum Diaries. This is a compilation of a six month journey by a group of friends in to the Argentinean Patagonia region. This first volume of their Trout Bum Diaries has more resemblance to a music video clip or an episode of MTV's Jack Ass than the carefully edited DVDs mentioned earlier. The pace is sometimes fast, frantic and full of adrenaline while other parts it takes you in a dreamy flow. The speed of the action on screen is accompanied by corresponding music. This is 90 minutes entertainment captured in Patagonia's trout filled heaven.

Fly fishing can be so much more than just poetic casting with the snow packed mountains on the background. Like the explosive rises to the Chernobyl ants! Here's a trailer that gives you an idea of the 'MTV fly fishing'. You can order the DVD directly from AEG Media (Update: they are no longer in business).

The guys at AEG are now finishing up the final edits of their next journey to New Zealand and this episode looks like another 90 minutes of fast paced monster trouts galore. Their Kiwi trailer is here.

If you want to be entertained on some amazing fishing during the long winter evenings with friends, check this out! If you're looking for a 'how to' DVD, move on to the next shelf...
