Skagit Master Volume 3 – Steelhead Flies Beyond The Books DVD
Skagit Master 3 presents modern concepts in steelhead fly design. No single steelhead pattern is a silver bullet. Confidence in the fly you choose plays a major role in your success. But thinking beyond what you learned in the “how to” books of the past often results in some cool fly concepts.
Skagit Master 3 features a few modern patterns and the steelheaders who tie them: Hannah Belford, Tom Larimer, Eric Neufeld, Jeff Hickman, Ed Hepp and of course Scott Howell, Ed Ward and Jerry French.
Steelhead flies showcased: The Grizzly Bear, Reverse Marabou, Orange Blossom, Fish Taco, Underachiever, Ska-opper and an Ed Ward Intruder.
Skagit Master 3 is much more than a fly tying film: The steelheaders in the show invite you into their world. A series of underwater studies examine light and dark flies in various water and light conditions. A flow tank is used to present each pattern in a controlled environment.
Filmed in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Skagit Master 3 is the third production in the five part Skagit Master series. Go To: www.skagitmaster.com to purchase the entire Skagit Master collection.
Skagit Master Volume 2 – Featuring Scott Howell
120 Mins. Filmed in 720 HD. Available in standard definition only.
Filmed in BC and Oregon, “Steelheading Outside The Box” is the most insightful, technique focused steelhead film in over a 25 years. There are no indicators or dead drifted nymphs in this film, just deeply sunk swinging flies, jacked by Skagit Flight and Skagit Short shooting heads, wicked looking custom Intruders and water spitting popping bugs chugging behind the latest high tech Scandi heads. It’s steelheading Scott’s way. Whether he’s dropping a cone head Prom Dress through 10 feet of cold winter flow to a short piece of holding water or popping a foam lipped Ska-opper over a roily boulder patch, Scott knows where fish live and how to make them to respond.
Few “How To” films deliver the goods. From the intimate coastal streams of Northern BC to his home waters in Oregon, Scott Howell goes fishing and shares the techniques he developed throughout is career and lands over a dozen wild steelhead in the process.
Scott’s philosophy is, “If that steelhead intended to eat your fly, it would have”. You shouldn’t worry about the ones that got away or the short strikes, dull pulls and plucks. Enjoy and respect them all. But cherish the ones you get to touch.
Skagit Master 2 Featuring Scott Howell is the perfect companion to Skagit Master Volume 1 Featuring Ed Ward.

Henrik Mortensen #5 The Scandinavian Spey cast 2 DVD
Henrik Mortensen #5 The Scandinavian Spey cast 2In this volume of the Fly Fishing Academy Henrik Mortensen expands on the intriguing Scandinavian casting and fishing style he first presented in volume four. In addition to the overall fishing strategy message, the two foci of the film are efficiently and effectively employing the lift in the cast and the art of dry fly fishing. Henrik demonstrates and explains how important the lift is for the cast, and how by doing an alternative cast, which Henrik dubs the Triple C, one can change the lift and direction of the cast. With this demonstration and detailed explanation it is easy to see how important casting techniques are and how they benefit catching results. To add to the intrigue, Henrik employs the use of the highly practical switch rods, which are becoming more and more popular.
We are patiently awaiting the arrival of the latest Mortensen DVD – “Patterns of Patagonia”.
Henrik Mortensen #4 The Scandinavian Spey cast DVD
Henrik Mortensen #4 The Scandinavian Spey cast 1In this volume, Henrik Mortensen focuses on what he terms “the Scandinavian Spey Cast.” To lend perspective, he visits the famous River Dee in Scotland to analyze the historical roots of the traditional Spey cast with a classic Scottish ghillie. He then travels to Canada’s beautiful Gaspé Peninsula in Eastern Quebec to illustrate his modern, redefined version with practical implementation on three of the most challenging salmon rivers in the world: Grande Cascapedia, Bonaventure, and Petite Cascapedia. Under sub-optimal conditions of the early season, low water, few fish and very clear rivers, the benefits of the Scandinavian Spey Cast become apparent.

Distance and Delicacy Featuring Henrik Mortensen DVD
With the second volume in Henrik Mortensen’s Fly Fishing Academy, we present you with his fundamental approach to fly fishing, which is based upon total control of the fly. In order to demonstrate various techniques, he chose one of the most prestigious and challenging locations in the world to fish for sea trout, the famed Rio Grande of Tierra del Fuego in the southernmost part of Argentina.
Tierra del Fuego, which was once thought to be a myth at the end of the world, holds every worldrecord for sea trout caught on a fly rod. And even though the Rio Grande calls for serious distancecasting in many places and forces anglers to deal with strong winds from the Andes Mountains, Henrik still pursues and demonstrates the ultimate control of the fly. Using both single and doublehanded rods, Henrik will teach you how to take advantage of the wind – and cast and fish with confidence in spite of it.
The general strategy used for the huge sea trout is small flies fished on long leaders, but he also covers sink line tactics and fishing throughout the darker hours with larger flies. Detailed directions are given on underhand casting with floating and heavy sinking lines. Particular consideration is also given on the ability to angle the line without disturbing the water.
Even if you are not planning a trip to Tierra del Fuego, this film is still worth seeing as the strategies and techniques Henrik teaches in it can be applied everywhere you go in pursuit of the big catch.
European Nymphing a Strategic Approach Featuring Araron Jasper DVD
Tutorial Fly Fishing DVD.
Play in any regular DVD player worldwide (recommended) or CD-ROM. Run time
approx. 174 minutes In the first video of this highly touted European Nymphing
series, European Nymphing – Techniques and Fly Tying, Aaron Jasper explained
the mechanics and thought processes behind the various European Nymphing style
of fly fishing. He illustrated the mechanics and basics of the different
Nymphing rigs. In this video, European Nymphing – A Strategic Approach, the
second in Aaron’s European Nymphing series, Aaron shows you how to apply all
the fly fishing techniques learned in the first video. Through ten unique
scenarios and conditions, Aaron shows you how to approach the water, target the
fish, and bring the fish to net. All the scenarios were filmed on water
accessible to any member of the public, and none of the scenarios were
“set ups.” We waited for the scenarios we wanted to address to arise
on the river and then took you the viewer to them. After viewing this video you
will understand how to use the various methods of czech nymphing, polish
nymphing, french nymphing, and spanish nymphing to target fish in almost any
set of conditions. With over an hour and a half of fly tying, leader formulas,
graphics, classroom and on stream instruction, this video is sure to
exponentially increase your catch rates. This video was filmed and edited in
stunning full 1080p.
European Nymphing Techniques & Fly Tying DVD
Shot and edited in stunning High Definition. European Nymphing Techniques and Fly Tying with Aaron Jasper is an instructional video that is the culmination of over three years of research, practical testing, and instruction both on the stream and in the classroom. Full of tips and techniques that you can’t find anywhere else. “Some years ago during a World International Fly Fishing event, the Polish team won the event by fishing a technique that was known to few others. In subsequent years both the French and the Czech teams have further won these major world class events with what most now understand as European fly fishing techniques: basically close range fishing with a team of flies representing invertebrate aquatic forms of life found close to the stream bed. For many these techniques have been a mystery and hardly understood. The written word will only go so far as to create interest and some basic knowledge. The practical aspects of these techniques require an on-stream scenario and visual explanation for a fundamental understanding from which the fly fisher can further his skills. This DVD has done just that. This video explains everything from the basic level of understanding how the systems work, to the importance of the rig, understanding the concepts of stream drift versus fly control, and advanced techniques: its all here. Aaron has done a fine job, and in my opinion has produced the Bible for those of you who wish to master the techniques of Polish, Czech, French and Spanish style nymphing. .”Chapters Include: -Czech/Polish style- introduction, casting and leading the flies. -French/ Spanish style- introduction, the sighter, casting, hand twist retrieve, leading the flies, high and low rod angles, upstream, up and across. -Leader setups and knot tying. -Fly tying- anchor flies: Dronestone, Polish Woven/ dropper flies: Triple Threat, Blue Winged Olive. Total Running Time: 2 Hrs. NTSC 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen.
High Sticking & Reading Water with Kelly Galloup DVD
Graphic demonstrations of high stick nymphing with detailed lessons on reading water are the heart of this 90 minute instructional video. Kelly shows you numerous ways to become a better nymph angler, including high sticking, where your fly line is kept off the water to insure a good drift. Along with a host of close-up angling sessions the production is filled with graphic illustrations that teach you how to read water. In this condensed look at five days on the river with Kelly you learn where to fish and how to be a better nymph angler.
Kelly Galloup is a great instructor, and in the video he dissects the river and clearly explains where and how to fish a variety of water types. Learn both tight-line and indicator tactics; discover where and when to fish each type of angling system.
You’ll see some nice fish along the way but more importantly you’ll discover how to nymph fish with a high rod. As Kelly says, “It’s all about a good drift”, and this is an essential form of presentation for doing just that.
Fly Placement is critical in your nymphing system and Kelly takes the time to explain where to place what type of fly on your leader. He looks in detail at midges, mayflies, caddis flies and attractor patterns.
