Rarely having to been able to get thru a whole book, (short attention span?) .. this is one of the few that i have read more than once.. If you were a fan of "A River Runs Through it".. you 'll enjoy this one... "The River Why". I just found out it will soon hit the theaters next month..
A good friend "Nate" who shares my addiction to the salt water, loaned me a copy of "Tarpon". For those who have been on my skiff and have had to listen to me lament about the way the fishing was years ago.. I apologize. Watch this video and see why. Filmed in Key West in 1974, it offers a glimpse of what fly fishing for tarpon was like in the early days. Jimmy Buffet performs the background music for it.. The film never made it to market in the U.S. and the original footage sat in a barn in the French countryside for 35 years. "Tarpon" (UYA Films, 53 minutes, $34.95 plus shipping) from The Book Mailer in Helena, Montana: order online (http://www.thebookmailer.com/Tarpon/Tarpon.html), call 1-800-874-4171, or email orders@thebookmailer. After a hectic day on the water (or land based vessel) slip this sucker into your dvd player and unwind with a rum and coke. Just close your eyes during the permit carnage...
