I am generally critical of the fact that we as a society don't read as much as we used to. We tend to gravitate to what is shiny and sparkly and easy. Kind of like a trout actually. That's one big reason National Geographic
is so popular. It has lots of great pics. Most people don't take the time to read beyond the captions. With that said, I still enjoy pretty pictures well made, especially as a filmmaker and that is what draws me to Catch Magazine. It's only online, its free, and if you haven't seen it you should check it out. It's filled with great pictures that get your juices flowing. And the videos mostly put together by Todd Moen but occasionally others are, in a word, excellent. The magazine is a really innovative concept, one that others are rushing to mimic. This is a long way of saying that you might check out their Catch Magazine Season 2 DVD. It is their second compilation of videos pulled from the publication.
It is important to support online resources like this. They are almost all small, one or two person operations (ahem) and get paid more in satisfaction than dollars. So if you are looking for a gift idea for a fellow angler, you might try one of their DVDs but at the very least you should take a look at the magazine.
