Rivers of a Lost Coast Trailer

Jonathon Marshall — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:13:35 +0000

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.

Deschuetes River Steelhead

I had never heard of the Deschutes River before watching this video, but its safe to say its a name I wont soon forget. The Deschutes runs through central Oregon and is a major tributary of the Columbia River meandering its way through stunning scenery. The river is perhaps best known as one of the most productive trout waters in the United States and is a top producer of summer steelhead.

Check out Deschutes Outfitters in more info on fishing this incredible river.

Burl Productions brings us The River That Time Forgot – and epic journey through remote outer Mongolia in search of giant taimen. Enjoy!

This is a teaser for a video coming soon from burl productions about a month long expedition to explore a remote river deep in the heartland of outer Mongolia. We covered 140 miles of water that had previously never been floated and fished. Along the way we met some really interesting locals, caught some amazing fish and discovered things about our selves and how we fit into this crazy world we now live in.

Nature’s Great Events: The Great Salmon Run on BBC

Clive Mathias — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 23:42:01 +0000

The Great Salmon Run it is truly an epic event. Millions of salmon fight their way upstream, returning to the river locations they were born. On the way they must not only contend with strong currents, but they must get past hundred of hungry grizzly bears!

“In another TV first, underwater cameras record the ingenuity and fancy footwork they use to collect dead salmon from the bottom of deep pools.”

The BBC has done it again, enjoy!

Clive Mathias — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 10:25:42 +0000

I’m getting pretty pumped for some pike fishing next month. While its unlikely I’ll find a pike this size in Toronto, I’m hoping for a 40 incher!

Watch her waddle as she swims away!

The Largest Muskie Ever Caught

Clive Mathias — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:51:05 +0000

St. Lawrence River near Ottawa Ontario is not only the countries capital city, but its the big musky capital of the world. Some may argue that point, but they’d be wrong. There are few bodies of water that can yield 50+ inch musky regularly. For years I’ve heard people saying the St. Lawrence would produce the next world record musky, and in November 2008, it did just that.

Dale MacNair, was on the St. Lawrence River in late November when he hooked on to the fish of a lifetime. A biggest muskellunge ever recorded. His incredible catch was 57″ long, more than 33″ around and weighed a earth shattering 77 pounds (35kg)!

Some fishermen spend they entire lives chasing a 50 inch musky, but after only one year in search of muskie, MacNair caught one that was almost 60 inches!

It’s a special occasion when such a massive fish is caught, but what makes it even more special is that this behemoth was released and swam away strong.
