DVD Reviews of Sierra Fly Fishing Vol. 2 / The Golden Trout Wilderness
DVD Review: Experience the Golden Trout Wilderness from the Couch
Summary: 5 Stars
Like going to a movie after first reading the book, the movie usually disappoints. For me at least, the movie lives up to expectations. And so you know, my expectations were not developed from any book on the Upper Kern River. I had the good fortune to experience the Golden Trout Wilderness with Guy Jean in 2006. As I sat and watched the DVD, with the memories of this wilderness and one-of-a-kind fishery firmly etched in memory, I couldn't help but feel I was re-living the entire five days from that summer. (My mental camera only slightly better than the digital one.)
What makes this destination DVD stand out from the rest you ask? Let's start with the cinematography. In a nutshell, it's clearly the work of a pro. All the scenes from start to finish are visually rich and interesting. The scenes essentially cover the trip starting from leaving the pack-station with the mule-train to working each of the varied fishing conditions on the upper Kern. I especially liked the way each scene transitioned with rotating shots of the two or three flies used. (Hint: you'll see Stimulators and Kern Emergers thoughout the show.)
Next, they blended the ideal amount of information and instruction without distracting you from the amazing visuals of Guy casting dries to wild, native rainbows. The upper Kern River really lends itself well to being captured on video. The stretches Guy fishes are 100% gin-clear. Most (if not all) the scenes, the camera renders the Kern River rainbows from above water. You get a nice look into their movements and to some extent their feeding patterns before Guy drifts a juicy, articifical over their head. As these wild fish are opportunistic feeders, it doesn't take more than one or two well-executed drifts to see them go ballistic.

Guy is the ideal host. Having fished with Guy Jean on many of the same runs depicted in this DVD, I felt like it was just business-as-usual. Guy takes a simple, no-nonsense approach to each situation. You get exactly the info you need to be successful without over talking it or over complicating it. Guy stalks these trout and knows their hang-outs like the upper Kern were his home water. And if you decide to take the punge and pack into the Golden Trout Wilderness, within a couple of days the Kern and it's rainbows will feel like a special-home.
