"Mike
Gold (Producer/Director) has truly captured the pure essence
of Lee Wulff, the single most influential fly fisher, designer,
inventor, innovator and conservationist the good Lord has seen
fit to bless us with. This is a priceless tribute to a most
uncommon man. I hope each of you might share in this experience,
too.
--Will Daskal,

Join
Lee Wulff, the single greatest fly fisherman and fly tier of our age,
as he goes fly fishing on the legendary Beaverkill River in
New York's Catskills for brown, rainbow and native brook trout. The
Beaverkill is the birthplace of fly fishing and the greatest, most
famous trout stream in America.
It is here that Lee casts his fly line and takes us on an unforgettable
fly fishing adventure. He demonstrates his fly casting and fly fishing
techniques, ties four flies without the use
of a vise, including the most famous fly ever created; The Royal Wulff.
Two of the three other flies are tied here for the first time.
"I
was born to fish. I started fishing as soon as I could crawl. There
was a little creek in back of our house and my mother got me going
with a bent pin for a hook that was baited with a piece of bacon."
Lee also discusses his philosophy of catch & release, predator
& prey, and man & nature. The New
York Times said that, "Lee Wulff was a master fly caster and
fly fisherman." No one has had a greater influence
on sport fishing than Lee Wulff. It is the ONLY footage of him on
The Beaverkill River, and this must-see 85 minute DVD also includes
breathtaking never-before-seen aerial footage of The Beaverkill's
14 most famous fishing pools. This DVD
should be included in every serious angler's fly fishing library.

"Michael
Gold may be one of the luckiest men on the face of the earth!
After all, he had a chance to live out my own childhood fantasy,
and, moreover, he captured it on videotape.
This tape is a rather unique and rare opportunity to view Lee
Wulff, one of the most special people in the annals of fly fishing
history.
If this video had been poorly done, it might still be worth
the purchase price just to have a copy of the only extant video
footage of Mr. Wulff on the Beaverkill; however, such is not
the case.
Mike Gold's project is truly a labor of love, and it shows.
Mr. Wulff's own words focus on man's role in his own world,
touching upon the predator-prey relationship, the philosophy
behind catch and release and the historical importance of the
Beaverkill as a focal point in American fly fishing history.
Lee Wulff was a man "Born to Fish" and we are all
much better for it. With this video, Gold has given us an absorbing,
priceless tribute to a most uncommon man. I hope each of you
might share in this experience, too."
--Will Daskal, Trout Unlimited |
"Catskills
photographer Michael Gold carried his video camera to "the
greatest trout stream anywhere on earth," and there, shot
the last footage of the supreme figure in the modern history
of North American fly fishing.
Meandering as tranquilly as any stream, Gold's film is both
quiet and moving, and I'm grateful that back in what he calls
an "orange autumn", an old man gave him some of the
little time he had left. The film shows Wulff tying flies, with
close ups of his dexterous fingers, without wearing eyeglasses
or using a vise- one of them on a #28 hook barely an eigth of
an inch long.
The film moves downriver through famous pools, and shows Wulff
catching and releasing trout. "There was the master, the
artist, the consummate sportsman," the narrator says, "fly
fishing the poetry of The Beaverkill River."
--Harry Bruce, Atlantic Salmon Journal |

"This
weekend, thanks to the efforts of Michael Gold, I visited
with Lee Wulff on DVD as he fished his favorite pools on the
Beaverkill. The 85 minute DVD represents the only footage
of Lee Wulff on the river. It's pure, undistilled Lee Wulff
--his philosophy, his innovative skills, his love of the Beaverkill,
the sport, and the fish. Lee discusses Catch-and-Release as
only he can. He expresses his thoughts about our place in
the natural world as he casts to the Beaverkill browns. It's
as if the viewer had made a date to go fishing with Lee.
Gold, the DVD's producer and director, has created a segment
of fishing history for which many anglers will always be grateful."
--Don Ecker, The Hackensack Record |
"Lee
Wulff on The Beaverkill" is a skillfully-shot, 1 hour,
25 minute visit with Lee and the river that he called home.
It also includes Lee tying four different fly patterns, including
the most famous Royal Wulff. This is Lee Wulff at his best:
describing the history of fishing as he lived it, telling his
angling philosophy, showing how to cast a long line on a short
rod.
It is Wulff without pretense and flash; it is Lee Wulff as everyone
should know him."
--C. Scott Sampson, Finger Lakes Times |
