TV Shows At Alaska West

We’re going to be famous!

We’ve got a crew from InterMedia Outdoors/Barrett Productions at Alaska West this week, shooting two TV shows that will show on the Sportsman Channel in the second quarter of 2010.

Breaking the Surface showcases the angling exploits of two of the finest female anglers on the planet, each of them highly skilled in quite different fishing disciplines. Gear fishing techniques rest in the very capable hands of Kim Bain-Moore—the first woman to ever compete in the Bassmaster Classic—while long-rod expert Diana Rudolph (of Simms/Andros South video fame) handles the tools of the fly-fishing trade. Along the way, these versatile women pursue just about anything that swims in cold, warm and salt water. This week they’re after the Kanektok’s silvers and rainbows.

Trout Unlimited: On the Rise is the next generation of TU television. Hosted by Colorado guide and increasingly notorious fly fishing media personality Frank Smethurst, OTR is one man’s road journey in search of the most compelling coldwater fisheries in the country, along with the people who fight to protect them. Join Frank and an arsenal of fly rods on an insider’s tour of American trout country.

We’ve got a hunch that Kim, Diana and Frank are each going to catch a couple of silver salmon, and a leopard rainbow to boot, and probably have a bit of fun doing it. Stay tuned!
