I have looked to find it but no luck. I do have a VHS tape and a disc(?)
of it.

I think it was 83/84?

Any fishing show with Larry Dahlberg in it (In Fisherman et al.). LD is perhaps the greatest all-round fisherman in history. His resume is second to none. That may be debatable, but I can't think of anyone that's any better.

Don't know about the piece of bone but did begin my angling career terrorizing cutthroat in small creeks with a willow switch, 4 foot piece of string, a # 8 hook and can of worms dug in the garden. And yes the can holding those worms was one of those flat tobacco cans (thanks to an uncle that rolled his own) that fit in our shirt pockets.

Great times and remember those hooks being pretty precious and if snagged considerable effort was spend to retrieve that hook.

I also remember listening to Bill Davis on the original Outdoor Line radio show.
Les Johnson had a show called Fly Fishing Northwest I believe.

Wally Pease out of Yakima also had a show, though I can't remember the name.

Dahlberg is awesome... i enjoyed Hawg Quest when it was on... Larry Csonka's North to Alaska, while wasnt totally fishing, but alot of it was, was another favorite of mine....

there was one, that they guys chased Tarpon in the early 2000's that i really enjoyed, they did other fish as well, but the 250 pound Tarpon shows were awesome... just cant remember the name of it... i believe it was on ESPN...

the new show with Mike Carey, sucks....

Oh to be kids again....fishing the little creeks running through Edmonds. No bulls in the pastures ala Patrick McManus' stories but a couple of milk cows! Then there was crawling around under the ferry dock (now certainly some sort of Federal offense) for a variety of bottomfish which went home in the basket of the bike. The really good end of those adventures: (1) never arrested, (2) never fell off the dock and (3) despite all of the creosote no skin cancer. Oh, and a lot of that dock fishing was with a cuttyhunk hand line.

The short snippets of Dahlberg (Hunt for BIG FISH!) were all excellent. Always got that "Who wouldn't want to be there?" feeling every time I watched.

Used to watch that when I was on the East Coast.

Second-longest running show on ESPN.... EVER!

Every episode ended with this...
"Dedicated to Dad.... he ALWAYS had time to take me fishin'."

Words to live by.

Fishing the West holds a special place in my heart. It was the first truly salmon/steelhead-centric program I ever tuned into. There was always a destination-specific instructional snippet included with each episode. The producers took a few moments to showcase a nice smattering of nature/wildlife scenes, and the soundtrack was predictably soothing rather than horribly irritating like so many of the newer shows.

I have an old book by Les Johnson,that guy was cool. I may have to start another thread!! Dahlberg is pretty cool,he sent my friend some lures a couple years ago because he emailed the guy. That shows class. The other fishing show I always dug was Hank Parker,he is a good ole boy lol.

I forgot to mention The Fishin' Hole and Jerry's way of teaching fishing and sticking to basics.
He inspired me to fish in direct drive and to convert reels to direct drive.

Lol his back reeling annoyed me to virtually no end! I did like his little weiner dog Norman. I much prefer the sound of a drag on a spinning reel though.

Being from the Mid West, as I recall Harold Ensley, "Going fishin instead of just a wishing". Me and my cousin J.D. Love couldn't wait for Sunday evening for that show to come on.
