This is our all time best selling DVD.

Chatham wrote a great and very informative book, too: The Angler's Coast.

Lots of information about him, Schaadt and other notable California anglers and our rivers.

For those who havent seen it, stop by kienes and pick up a copy. Its extremely well put together, an excellent piece of history that make me miss a time i wasnt around for.

Which 4 do you know bill?

I read this post and broke out the dvd to get my 5 yr and 2 yr old to watch. I diddnt make it very far but the do love seeing the big fish. Im making some real headway with my wife too, shes been casting at the park and will be on the water soon enough...

I met Russ C a few times and heard stories about him forever.

Everyone knows Lani....he did the first SA/3M videos on Steelhead 20 yearsa go.

Met Mel Leven at Rick's Lodge on Fall River in the 1970s when Bob Quigley had a little fly shop in the basemant of the lodge.

We know Jimmy Adams well.....many people know and love him.

I am in the movie in 3 movie clips but not many people know this.

One shot I am running down the riffle at Sailor Bar in the 1970s with a nice fresh Steelhead on.

Another I am on the Trinity River in 1982 in November with veteran Steelheader Joe Shirshac when a legandary run went through. Lots of the film clips in the movie are Joe Shirshac's....

One is a fish jumping near a snag in the river just above the bridge in Junction City.

Another I am trying to land a fish by pinning it to the bank on the Trinity River below Juntion City.
