It was hunting & fishing, but not all fly fishing, with famous celebrities.


Lee Wulff took Curt Goudy to Labrador for dry fly fishing for giant Brook trout.

Thanks to Joe Shirshac I got to go there once to Anne Marie Lodge.

They have a Green Drake hatch there in July.


**This is a historic bucket list trip.

On most week long trips Brookies to 7 pounds are caught....the average is over 5#?........ the area record is 14# on a dry fly.

I remember Curt Gowdy being on American Sportsman several times. I also remember Arnold Schwarzenegger on the same show going into Yellowstone backcountry with Doug Peacock to film grizzlies. Another show I miss.

There are a bunch of the old American Sportsman shows on YouTube.

One of my favorites was the SpanishFly with Jose Wejebe.
Died at only 54, flying some sort of experimental plane.

I remember watching American Sportsman with Curt Goudy on the family black and white every Sunday afternoon. The second Trader Joes in existance was in the town where I grew up. We used to buy ammo there before going to the shooting range. Times have changed!

Well, that's interesting because John Denver died at age 54 in an experimental plane crash. He loved Alaska and fly fishing. He used to spend time at the Little Mulchatna Lodge. Here is some footage of him fishing on the Alagnak.

John,
Well, that does it! I'm not going to fly at age 54.
If memory serves me, Denver's plane crashed
into Monterey Bay.

To me, the words "experimental" and "plane" have never seemed a good fit.

I remember Bel. (damn, I'm "old"???) Another show I watched, but cant remember the name of was a guy that filmed all the shows on 16mm film, almost always had "shore lunch" and finished the show by turning a sign around that said "gone fishing".
I still have my first fly tying book (from Bills shop when it was in Town and Country Village in the 80's) by Jack Dennis, it has a picture of Curt on the back interviewing Jack..............with a tape recorder.
