[8 May 2009 | Comments Off on DVD Review: Once in a Blue Moon | ]

Just when I thought I’d seen it all in fly fishing movies, Once in a Blue Moon lands on my doorstep.  The first comparison that ran through my mind after watching it was that this is what you’d get if you crossed Drift with the Planet Earth Series on the Discovery Channel.  In short, this […]
