The Complete Angler - Chapter 1

The Complete Angler - a film by James Prosek (artist/writer), Fritz Mitchell (producer/editor) and Peter Franchella (cinematographer). Chapter 1 - James leaves Connecticut for Ireland and England, catching a few trout in his home streams and musing about his youth, fishing, and some Waltonian ideals. He visits the library at Yale and examines a first edition of Walton's Compleat Angler from 1653. Then he sits for a reading of Yeat's poem, The Song of Wandering Aengus, by Harold Bloom.

What an interesting project: a great story atop an older great story, and woven together in an excellent film.

"Fishing a common bond that breaks all barriers" what sweet words. They ring so true and sum up so beautifully the world of fishing.
