Like the migration of the Arctic Tern, 3 norwegian trout-bums went from the one corner of the earth, to the other in search of the perfect trout. What we found while walking the most beautiful rivers one can imagine, was that there is not "the one perfect trout". There is a lot of them.
New Zealand trout fishing can not be properly described and understood- displayed on a tape, so this is just a movie about our trip, and is not even close to describing the beauty of it all.

This is a simple blog that just collects links to films and video shorts by others on the subject of wild fly fishing on (mainly) rivers. Generally not many technical fly fishing guides, but just an anthology of the more poetic films that capture the joy and beauty (and catch and release) of mainly wild trout on the fly, and feature the passionate breed that seek them out.

THE TESTAMENT OF A FISHERMAN

ROBERT TRAVER 1964, (aka JUDGE JOHN VOELKER 1903-93)

I fish because I love to;

Because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful, and hate the environs where crowds of people are found, which are invariably ugly;

Because of all the television commercials, cocktail parties, and assorted social posturing I thus escape;

Because, in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion;

Because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience;

Because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I for one don’t want to waste the trip; because mercifully there are no telephones on trout waters;

Because only in the woods can I find solitude without loneliness;

Because bourbon out of an old tin cup always tastes better out there;

Because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid;

And, finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant – and not nearly so much fun.
