Has anyone seen the t.v. show flyfishing masters I think it is on at 1:30 Saturdays on OLN or ESPN or one of the outdoor networks?

Is this the show where Joe Humphreys was in one episode fishing with a partner?
Joe Humphreys is a great flyfisher and teacher. Ever read any of his books? I applied some of the things he talks about in his book TROUT TATICS and have caught more, and bigger fish, than ever. I thought you needed 8x or 9x to catch fish, phooey - I now do not use anything smaller than a 6x on everything. If it fits through the eye, I use it and I catch fish. I use 6x on sz 22 or 24 Daiichi 1100 big eye. No problem. (I really cannot fish anything smaller - can't see even with the magnifiers over the magnifying glasses) 5x or 6x allows you to get the fish in with the least amount of stress without having to play it for a long time with hair-fine tippet. Another big thing is water temp. The book is a good read. 8)

I have two of his DVD's....one on small stream fishing...pretty good...at the end he fishes for the last time with George Harvey. The other one was on nymphing...also very good.

As far as the TV show I dont get OLN...wish i did...not sure about ESPN...my digital cable TV guide seems messed up for Sat.
