00:25 How to Fish
00:27 Successful angling no longer depends upon fisherman's luck.
00:33 For today, fishing has become a truly fascinating science.
00:38 [clears throat]
00:40 When to fish can be determined by the astrological signs of the zodiac,
00:45 whose countless stars and planets control all the tides of the Earth's waters.
00:51 Hence, when Neptune enters the constellation of Pisces, or fishes,
00:57 the cosmic vibrations create in the fish an uncontrollable desire to bite.
01:04 When the Earth enters this celestial orbit,
01:07 it too falls under the powerful influence of these vibrations.
01:13 Now, let us observe the effect of this phenomena on man.
01:20 Dormant within his bosom slumbers an inert instinct to fish.
01:26 This desire becomes acute only through bodily contact
01:30 with the cosmic undulations of Pisces, or fishes.
01:35 This creates a mental malady known as fishes' febris, or fishing fever.
01:42 [music]
01:47 During this trans-like period, the angler checks his fishing tackle
01:53 and succumbs to an overwhelming desire to test his casting skill.
01:58 A deft flick of the wrist, whip of the pole, tug of the line,
02:02 and the angler can easily imagine a fighting fish in a crystal pool.
02:07 [music]
02:10 Where to fish?
02:13 Ah, the beauty of the sunrise over high, rugged mountains.
02:18 The freshness of the early morning dew.
02:21 [thunder]
02:24 The joy of sleeping in the great out of doors.
02:27 The fisherman awakens at the crack of dawn,
02:30 deeply impressed with his closeness to nature.
02:33 [thud]
02:36 Ah, to breathe deeply of that pure, rarefied mountain air.
02:41 [music]
02:46 [splash]
02:48 [music]
02:50 The trout.
02:52 The mountain trout is an alert, intelligent creature.
02:57 A fighter of the first water, rugged, strong, daring.
03:03 [growling]
03:06 His dauntless fortitude makes him absolutely fearless.
03:11 [squawking]
03:12 [whistling]
03:15 How to approach the stream.
03:19 Slip up quietly through a shrub or bush,
03:24 and don't let the fish see you coming.
03:26 [music]
03:29 [thud]
03:30 [music]
03:32 [splash]
03:33 Now you've done it.
03:36 Once the pool is disturbed, the fish can never be enticed to bite.
03:41 [music]
03:53 Fly fishing.
03:55 The fly fisherman must know how his tackle and other objects appear to the fish.
04:02 Therefore, through the eyes of the fish, we view the angler.
04:08 Attempting fly.
04:10 And study carefully the reaction of the fish.
04:14 [laughing]
04:20 The lure is scientifically designed.
04:23 When dropped into the water, the resulting optical illusion creates a very realistic effect.
04:30 [music]
04:49 [splash]
04:54 [splash]
04:57 [music]
05:01 To cast the lure, select a spot free from overhanging brush and lid.
05:08 Swing the arm with a liquid rhythmical motion.
05:12 [music]
05:17 [splash]
05:20 Place it in a row, the lure spins over the water to land lightly into that deep purple pool.
05:27 [music]
05:29 [spinning]
05:38 [music]
05:41 And the perfect catch. The line sings and the poor fish is really hooked.
05:46 [music]
05:52 Lake fishing. Immortalized in the words of the ancient Ba'al.
05:57 Quote, "Upon young lake's calm, placid breath, the angler flies his yaw to tempt a smile from lady luck, where'er his hook may fall." Unquote.
06:11 [hissing]
06:12 Uh-oh, a strike, a strike!
06:14 Oh boy, what a whopper! Look at that pool bend. Here's that real thing. Don't give him any slack. Play him, play him.
06:23 Keep cool now, don't get excited. Here he comes.
06:29 There he goes.
06:32 What a player. Keep cool. Use your head, man, use your head. Keep your eye on him.
06:37 Wow, look at him go. Oh boy, what a beauty.
06:41 Keep calm now, brace yourself.
06:47 Ah, we landed him. Watch it now, watch it, watch it. Don't let him get back in the water.
06:55 Truly, no pride is so justifiable as that of a successful fisherman.
