The American Sportsman classic fly fishing segments

Recommended Posts

This popped up in my youtube feed and is collection of mostly fly fishing segments from the old "American Sportsman" TV show.  I remember seeing some of these when I was a kid.  I was fascinated with fly fishing and tying but I didn't know anyone who could teach me.  It definitely brought back some Saturday morning memories for me.

Loved the American Sportsmen, Curt Gowdy was a real gentleman. Michigan out of doors hosted by Mort Kneff was also a favorite.

I agree Mike- I really enjoy watching any of the old 60's -70's fly fishing/tying segments.  They have a way of making feel like I'm 11 years old again. I love Curt Gowdy's "just the facts ma'am" style of reporting.   Being from New England I'm not familiar with Mort.

Do you still watch it with Jimmy and the gang? Been watching for years now!

Honestly Fred Trost made mess of the show, and I have hard time watching outdoor programming anymore. A little to graphic and way to commercial for my taste, but that’s just me.
