In November, 2000, and again in April, 2001, Scott and Kathy Sparrow played host to a major video production headed up by Jeff Pill, award winning producer. Pill,  former 20-20 senior producer, has already racked up an impressive array of stellar fly fishing productions with his Miracle Productions -- including Joan Wulff's best-selling fly casting video, the groundbreaking video "Women and Fly Fishing" with Jennifer Olsson, and the universally acclaimed "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies" with Gary LaFontaine and Dick Sharon. The new saltwater fly fishing video features segments from the West Coast, East Coast, Florida Coast and Texas Gulf Coast. West Coast fly fishing author Ken Hanley  makes the entire coast-to-coast journey, joining such fly fishing luminaries as Mel Krieger and Flip Pallot on his search for wadeable, productive waters. Lani Waller of steelhead fishing fame joins Ken in the Texas segment, where -- under the masterful tutelage of Wanda Taylor (shown here with a red that took her fly) -- they wade the shallow clear flats in search of redfish and speckled trout.
Behind the scenes, Capt. Scott teamed up with Capt. Skipper Ray, Rick Hartmann, and Capt. Gary Taylor, to guide the shoot on the shallow flats of the lower Laguna Madre. Meanwhile, Kathy put down her fly rod long enough to whip up gourmet meals and on-the-water survival snacks for the "armada".

The new video, titled "Coastal Fly Fishing with Ken Hanley and Friends," is one-hour and forty-five minute long, covers a vast array of fishing techniques, species and settings. Pill and his associate producer Bill Gordean have created an artistic, entertaining, and instructive video that will doubtless become a major source of information for fly fishers interested in the unpressured, diverse fishing opportunities available in inshore fisheries. The video is available from Kingfisher for $34.95 plus $3.00 s&h.
