Top Fly Fishing TV Shows of 2013



Remote Control..Check Coffee..Check...Jealousy...Double Check!!!

Okay here it is, I've been told that I am a die hard fly fishing addict -in case this comes as a shock and I think my blog title gives it away. Since Winter limits my water activity somewhat, I'm open for anything fishing related to keep me occupied. So whether it's local fly fishing shows, Fly Fishing film premieres, or something I think all of you can relate to....2013 Fly Fishing TV Schedules.

What's your choice of fishing shows do you like? I think there's something for everyone and I think there's plenty of junk out there too it just depends on what you are looking for.


Here's a taste...__________________________________________________________________
Here are some shows that may interest you
Familiar Waters -
Pro's: Nice travel episodes of some sweet fly fishing destinations and big Tarpon
Con's:Not many just would like to see more Intl travel if possible.

Kelly Galloup Fish TV -
Pro's: It's Kelly Galloup what more could you want, learn how to shake that Bugger
Con's: No more Jack Dennis, hey that may not be a bad thing, nah we miss ol' Jack

Fish The Baja- Colorado's own Dave Maynard takes you on a few wild episodes in Baja! Good to catch up with you at the Carp Slam event this year Dave. This new show actually does pretty well for a landlocked guy fishing down South.
Pro's: Chasing Roosterfish, Dorado and Baja's finest fishing areas
Con's: Need more inshore fly fishing if possible and you can never have enough Roosters

Flip Pallot Fishing Frontier - Flip decent show but I miss Walkers Cay Chronicles!
Pro's: It's Flip, can you get much better for Saltwater tips
Con's: Less Ford trucks and how their engines help us with fishing?

Fishing The Flats -
Pro's: Lot's of great Saltwater action and Top fishing tips
Con's: I don't get Fox sports so I miss a ton of their episodes

Buccaners and Bones - This is the show I think most are watching, fly fishing for Tarpon, bonefish and permit in Belize...now you're talking! 3rd Season and counting, gets better every year.
Pro's: The cast is pretty hard to beat and the location is another plus, please bring back Lefty
Con's:More of Lefty!!

Spanish Fly- One of my favorite fly fishing shows in the last few decades. Jose seems to always come up with creative ways to catch fish and I still can't decide which episode is my favorite. Jose left us last year and this year there is a great tribute for him with many special guest. My pal Carter Andrews did a fantastic job on some recent episodes.
Pro's: Next to Flip his shows have been the go to fly fishing show since college
Con's: Can't seem to think of any

Fly Rod Chronicles 
Pro's: It has gotten better each year and now that Rebecca is doing most of the Videography, I look forward to each episode now!
Con's: Need to get Curtis on some Saltwater

Hooked on The Fly - Not to be confused as Seasons on the Fly, similar but also another goody
Pro's: Incredible locations and can't wait to see Keys Tarpon and Chile monster bows again
Con's: More Saltwater but otherwise not much to improve upon
