This is a 5 DVD set, which is an A/V recording of  a 6-hour seminiar
on fishing Crowley Lake given by the Troutfitter owner and guide,
Kent Rianda, given in 2008.  It includes a sixth DVD, which is a
compilation of 1.7 hours of underwater video shot on the lake showing
feeding fish as well as fish taking and refusing artificial flies  The
information presented was gathered over 18 years and more than
2000 days fishing and guiding on Lake Crowley by the author.  It is a
complete treatise on the subject . . . If there was a Ph.D. on fishing
Crowley Lake, this would be the doctural dissertation in an audio-visual
format.  If you are a serious still water angler, or just want the information
to catch more fish on Crowley Lake, this presentation belongs in your library!
