Reminded me of fishing with my grandpa and an old Disney movie clip. Just awesome.

[strangled1]

[VIRGINIAB0RNANDBRED]

Watch that rod flex all the way down, talk about slow action.

[FishingFilmHistory]

I would love to speak with you!

[grigsbyb]

It was great to see my Uncle, who died in a plane crash in 1962--six years before I was born. Thank you for preserving this and sharing it.

@fishingeuphoria it takes me back every time I watch it, that's why I posted it here hoping it would do the same for others. Thanks for the comment...

@FishingFilmHistory Hey Johnny! Great Classic Fishing Film, Ah..the good ole days, when a smile and a Firm handshake got you the Job!

[mobstar1187]

its like the rod is an extension of his arm .... just beautiful...

[lcts98]

fly fishing hasnt changed in hundreds of years

[Olorinii]

I love it that he fishes in a collared shirt and slacks. People had class back then.

[Caimingchang]

I still have class, I wear what Johnny is wearing when I fish for bait. And I wear a tuxedo while fishing biggies. LOLLOLLOL.

[o56kid]

back in the redwood boom, the men where dressed well enough at work to go to a wedding without changing. People had integrity..

[Bromeliad1]

I love classic fly fishing videos. Great video. Those were the good days.

[dashwood123]

Excellent.

[Troutsiders]

That is fantastic! Classic films like this cannot be beat! Thanks for sharing.

[bfuller764]

It was good

[SershenBros]

Dr. Tood - This is fantastic! Now I can show my students the double haul in a way that will make sense to them.

Thank you!

[darkmossie633]

Ive just started to use the double haul, and its tricky to co-ordinate the hands

and arms, but im slowly mastering it.

Could you tell me if you can get longer casts with lighter fly-lines? Compare

5 weight to 8-9 weight?

Its amazing that this very old video, is far more instructive than most of the modern

ones Ive seen on tube!

I like thee way he uses his shoulder in the casting, as some vids have the arm

tight to the chest, not using shoulder

(best other vid seen is by Hywel Morgan)

[FrankB1191]

Thank you very much for sharing this

film. Bravo!

[FishingFilmHistory]

Thank you kind sir, it is our pleasure! A lot more of these to come ASAP...

[darkmossie633]

I also give you 5*****'s for this brilliant video

-look forward to one on conventional cast

most start to fly-fish with
