Review

The stories and insights from Master Anglers and others make this DVD entertaining, informing, and rewarding to watch. Watching this DVD is an easy, fun way to learn the complexities of ice fishing! It's all here from A to Z plus valuable information on fly tying, lake trolling, conservation and other great angling tips.... The best ice fishing 'How to' video ever made! --Randy Mithoefer - Angler, and Director, Merrimack River Valley Chapter-Trout Unlimited.



Part angling memoir, part history - the kind of book and DVD you can dip into at a moment's notice, or read straight through as you would a ...novel. ...You'll enjoy the warm positive tone registered by author Lyon's insights. It'll make you want to fish. It'll shape your viewpoint in ways you didn't expect. Something for everyone...scientific angling information for those who want that. Hilarious anecdotal material you'd only get by knowing these people firsthand. It's the perfect book and DVD to be sitting on your lakefront coffee table....It's there when you want a dose of insights into New England glacial water. It captures in words -- and with great feeling -- what big lakes have to offer. --Steve Hickoff - Outdoor Columist and Writer



Author Lyon has invested a lot of humanity in this. The profiles of anglers will touch your heart and remind us all of one of the reasons we fish: to share solitude with people we care about. It never lets you forget that the Lake Winnipesaukee Legend is built upon the life and times of people who loved to fish. As Lyon says Life is not about fishing. Fishing is about life. In his epilogue, Lyon lets it all hang out and faces head on the question that dogs him... Why do I fish? He draws a distinction between the angler and the fisherman. And his prose here really does rise to the level of literature, as they say. He writes: Some measure of respect, and even of spiritual reverence, is required to become an angler as opposed to being a fisherman. If we treat the spirituality of angling lovingly, and with a certain tenderness, it will not be lost on us. Then, in a wonderful fish story, he recounts his angling epiphany: the moment when he made the transition from fisherman to angler. I won't spoil it for you. You'll share the moment with him when you read Angling in the Smile of the Great Spirit. And its DVD companion series. --V. Paul Reynolds- Editor, Northwoods Sporting Journal, Maine Guide, and host of weekly radio show, Maine Outdoors.
