Summary: Glad to see they are now on DVD!
Review: Being a fan of movies as well as fly fishing, I have to say that I think the "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies" videos are excellent.Ê They look terrific and are packed with lots of information that will come in very useful the next time I'm on the water.Ê A technique of drawing lines and arrows on top of some of the scenes really helped me understand where fish are located and how I should position myself to fish to them.Ê I really enjoyed the variety of fishing locations.Ê I bought these videos, but now see that they are on one DVD and plan to give the DVD to a couple friends as holiday gifts.

Summary: Good Stuff
Review: Finally! Fly fishing videos that give important information and yet are not boring. I can watch these shows when I want to dream about being on the water, or when I want to learn good stuff -- or both. When can we get more?

Summary: DVD Review (from a pro guide)
Review: Good stuff, but didn't feel that new.
Tobe honest, it was not on the entertainment level of the film
i was given for my birthday from HowardFilms.com ("Rising Tide"):
that film was a rush - of information, culture, story and pro cinema....
strategies was nice, but this thing rocked. not like anything you've seen. believe me.
i like "strategies" as a concept, but i think i felt it was not pushing the envelope that much. and it is about time someone did.

Summary: All I can say is, They Are Terrific
Review: Having gotten into fly fishing in the last few years, I was looking for videos that would be helpful, instructive and NOT boring. I saw these shows on Amazon.com and first looked at the Editorial Reviews. Many of the most respected people in fly fishing are really complimentary about them. I also looked at all the customer reviews and I saw that the vast majority are definitely positive. So I bought them, and all I can say is, they are terrific. You can watch them for pure entertainment value, or fill a notebook with great tactics, strategies, tips and advice Ð all, I believe, applicable no matter where I fish. I like the way so much information is conveyed while, at the same time, these guys are having such a good time. What a pleasure to see Gary LaFontaine actually doing what he writes about. These shows bring his books to life.

Summary: Great flyfishing videos
Review: I bought these tapes for my husband. We both love them! They are very informative and interesting to watch (other flyfishing instructional videos are so boring) They are fun to watch even a second and third time. I am also a big Gary la Fontaine fan and value his insightful instruction. Will there be more tapes? I'd definitely buy them.

Summary: An old friend
Review: I have been viewing and using these tapes now for about 5 years, and every time I put a tape in the VCR I know that when I push play I will learn something I didn't catch the time before. The tapes are like an "old friend" that has something new to share with me each time I see him. Dick and Gary are the definition of on stream fun while at the same time, true professors in the skills of disecting a piece of water and sharing successful techniques to pursue the one thing we all have in common...the love of catching trout. Push play, sit back and learn.

Summary: Not enough
Review: I was hoping that a fly fishing video would have more in the ways of tips and instruction - more than the scenic vistas and close up shots in outdoor TV programs. Well, there's more tips/instruction, but not nearly enough, as far as I'm concerned. The videos are still heavy on fishing shots, light as far as I'm concerned on information and advice. I guess, though, that that is what many video viewers may want.
My suggestion for more informational content focused consumers would be to pick up a couple of good books, such as David Hughes instructional books "Tactics for Trout" or "Reading the Water."
