Video Review: Skagit Master

In a time where fly fishing video entertainment has evolved to follow the Warren Milleresque template, Skagit Master takes a step back to the roots of industry spey fishing videos with a more instructional approach.  That said, its regression doesn’t lose sight of the important ingredient of entertainment.

Produced/directed by Jeff Mishler with heavy instructional insight from Skagit Casting pioneer Ed Ward, Skagit Master is a good bet for anyone that wants real life Skagit Casting insight without sacrificing a little goofing around.  It also has an informal segment on purpose built flies that includes screen time from co-creator of The Intruder – Jerry French (who happens to be a good Moldy Chum friend and fishing partner that personally introduced me to the largest AK West leopard rainbow I have and may ever see).  The video isn't about a bunch of self felating cast geeks, it's about real world application.  It's about leveraging specific methods that get you in the game more quickly and more often.

Skagit Master isn’t the best pure instructional video we’ve ever seen nor is it the most creative lifestyle piece out there.  But it is the best blend of both that we’ve ever seen.  It had us engaged to the point where we've already watched it twice and will continue to pop it on for continued education.  That can’t be said about any other instructional piece we've seen.

Skagit Master should have a place in every casters collection and is a must have for all double hand junkies.
