Rio Fly Lines Fishing video contest

[Bob Smith]

The following was posted on Fiberglass Fly Rodder board. The two leading vids are one of a little girl showing the true spirit, grace and joy of fly fishing. And the other of some middle aged guy chasing salmon in Chile set to that extreme BS metal music so popular with that group of fly fishers who like to think it's an extreme sport. Utterly lacking in charm, grace, production values etc.

So take a look, give the gal a vote to keep her in the (narrow) lead if you agree.

"Rio is having an amateur fishing video contest. It is coming down to a close contest between a really nice video of a little kid catching some bluegill and what was described on a local forum as "Fat cat fighting the invasive Chilean tule to exhaustion and lactic acidosis with his $1000+ spey outfit... set to obnoxious music BTW..."

Casey, it's a wonderful little movie isn't it. She's pulled ahead.

Bob, cute video.  

Eh, not that you'll probably care in the least, but the "extreme BS metal" on the video you referenced sounds more like Eddie Money playing at the Cumberland county fair or something.  It's extreme in the way that a 50-year-old with type 2 diabetes on a weekend might mix in 1 packet of real sugar in their coffee for a "busy Saturday".    

I recommend "Meshuggah - Bleed" as an alternative.  Great drummer - anyone who can play "hurtas" over 16th notes on a double bass set up better than a metronome gets me to tip my hat.

Well, extreme for a fly fishing video anyway. Now get off my lawn you whipper snapper!

[TurbineBlade]

Bob, you're alright!

Ha, I just saw this same thing posted on another board. Voted for the little girl. Didn't make it through 30 seconds of the other one.
