A River Runs Somewhere--the Howqua

Postby midger » January 11th, 2014, 10:03 pm

This is an interesting series filmed by two Australians and viewable on Youtube. Some of you may already be familiar with it, but I'd never watched any of the episodes yet until this evening. In season 1, Episode 1, they're fishing the Howqua River. It's not so much the river they fish, but their humor and lack of seriousness that I found refreshing and quips such as: "a lot of people subscribe to the theory if it's comfortable it's not camping; it's not a theory we subscribe to."

Note: They catch fish, kill, fish to eat, drink wine and beer. What more can you seek in this journey?

Each episode is about 25 minutes long, and they beat watching a lot of what's on now.

"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."

I checked out a few. They're pretty good shows. Reminds me of a relaxing trip with freinds.
The quips like "...packed with campers. People from the city who like recreating the noise and stress of the city, out here in a bush setting.", aren't to bad either.
I fish for my sanity. If I catch it, should I still practice catch and release?
