Post Description

Deze ruim 50 minuten durende dvd ‘A Backyard in Nowehere’ heeft een sterk verhaal, toont indrukwekkende snoeken, opvallende karakters en is zeer professioneel geproduceerd.

De film is in vijf weken opgenomen in Zuidwest-Alaska, op de Innoro River, een zijrivier van de Yukon River. De twee vliegvissers Peter en Mathis raken hier bevriend met lokale mensen, de onverwachte confrontatie met mensen van een vislodge zorgen ervoor dat je nekharen recht overeind gaan staan. Op de film is het niet zichtbaar, maar die gidsen van de lodge droegen zelfs revolvers! Ze gedroegen zich alsof het hele gebied hun eigendom is, dit terwijl het gewoon openbaar terrein is.

“A Backyard in Nowhere” is being hailed as the greatest pike fishing DVD of all time and is an independent documentary that mixes Western and Gonzo elements with traditional fly fishing.

Blinded by stories of giant northern pike, a trio of fly fishers set out to explore the remote Innoko River in Alaska. They end up getting a whole lot more than they bargained for. After the fly fishers meet the Native Americans that live in the drainage, their adventure begins to take wild twists and turns.

Moving deeper into the Backyard, the fly fishers find some of the best pike on the fly fishing ever caught on film. But, to their misfortune, the Backyard turns out to be a lot like the old West. Generous servings of booze, taking the law into one’s own hands and gun slinging over a piece of land, are challenges that need to be overcome to find the giants of the Innoko.

The result is a film that has been compared in style to that of grindhouse flicks, putting an end to the idea of fly fishing as “the quiet sport”. Check out the HD clip here and see what you think but be warned: with sex, drugs, nudity and profanity the DVD is not one for the feint-hearted!

Run time: 50 minutes
