MidCurrent linked to an interesting article about some of the new shows Versus is working on for next year. I hope they are a better than the last “Fly Fishing Masters” that really was a flop in my mind. Some of the anglers on the show were hardly worthy of being called a master of anything, let alone fly fishing.
Donald Trump Jr. is co-hosting a show with Charlie Charlesworth, Charlie met Donald Jr. on a fly fishing trip when he was approached by a guide and asked if he wanted to fish with a famous person. I wish I had that kind of luck, but I am guessing the famous folks that fly fish don’t make it to my Oklahoma waters very often.
The toher show “In Search of World Records” will be hosted by Joe Humphrey. Joe is no stranger to fishing for big browns and has appeared on some excellent episodes of “Fly Fishing America” with John Wilson on the White River. I can’t wait to see what him and John come up with on the White during their next excursion, and hopefully Joe can land the 30LB+ brown he has been chasing in Arkansas for the last few years.
I hope Versus is able to bring some interesting shows to our homes that can reinvigorate my penchant for watching fly fishing shows. Watching reruns of the handful of existing shows just doesn’t really do it for me and none of the fish porn DVDs made my Christmas list. I may change my mind on the porn though, Fishizzle looks like it may kick a ton of ass.
