Several amazing 16mm sound films were recently found and have been converter to DV! Here's my best try at showing them to the world. Visit http://fishinghistory.blogspot.com Dr. Todd Larson's Fishing for History Blog and find out everything you ever wanted to know about fishing; but were afraid to ask!

In 1956 Garcia; the exclusive distributor for Mitchell Reels in North America made three demonstration films to help teach people how to fish with a fly reel, an ABU 5000 bait caster and how to use their Mitchell 300 spinning reel fish. The instructor in these films is Johnny Dieckman, the World Casting Champion!
