Behold The Wind Powered Auto Jigger

Modeled after Duchamp’s 1913 ready made, Bicycle Wheel, this auto-jigger harnesses the power of the wind. A silver dinner bell rings when a fish bites. Perfect for catching panfish and Dadaists. Debuts Sunday January 29th, 2012 at the Art Shanty Projects.

The Art Shanty Project is a four-week art show slash social experiment inspired by traditional ice fishing huts. The show is open until February 5th, and is taking place on Medicine Lake, Plymouth, Minnesota.

Maybe wind power isn’t your thing. Well how about steam power?

Rivers of a Lost Coast Trailer

Rivers of a Lost Coast is a turn of the century story about a handful of pioneer fisherman that carried their fly rods north into California’s remote north coast and gave birth to a culture that would revolutionize their sport. For a few of these fisherman, like Bill Schaadt, this fishing life style became an obsession, an obsession that would not accept compromise.
