On Sky 171 and The Country Channel – New Broadcast Times

The successful Backcountry Fishing is moving to Wednesdays at 7pm on Sky 171 from the 3rd Feb 2010.  This excellent series was secured for the Country Channel by renowned angling writer and photographer, Robert MacDougall-Davis (www.wildaboutfishing.co.uk).  You can currently view the series on the free-to-view Country Channel at www.countrychannel.tv.  

The twenty-four part series, which will inspire the British angler, is shot on location in New Zealand by cameraman and producer Bruce Masson.  Robert, a regular contributor to the British angling press, was thrilled to have netted the Backcountry Fishing series: “this series is unique and some of the finest fly fishing footage that I have ever seen. The beauty of the series is that you genuinely feel like you are following Bruce and his friends along the river.” Robert continued, “The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and the fishing is awesome!  Those who love fly fishing will be completely absorbed and those who have not yet cast a fly will want to learn how.  These programmes will appeal to everyone, fishers and non-fishers alike.  Masson’s series encapsulates the very essence of fly fishing – fishing for magnificent fish in awe-inspiring scenery.”

Being keen fly fisherman themselves, Bruce and his friends make a great team and the quality of the series speaks for itself.  So if you have an interest in fly fishing or simply enjoy beautiful landscape and the great outdoors you will love Backcountry Fishing

Paul Aiken (Country Channel CEO) is delighted to have landed the new series: “We are very pleased to develop our popular Country Pursuits strand of programming.  This series really captures the thrill of being on the water. We hope the series will be enjoyed by advanced fly fishers and inspire those who have yet to cast a fly.”
