Happy People by Werner Herzog

[Nemo]

Hi All,

 

Saw this film on Youtube the other day. It is not 100% fishing related but it does have some great footage of pike fishing Siberian style. One guy uses a float reel and rifle to subdue his catch. (51:46)

 

If you are interested in trapping, fishing, hunting, buscraft etc. this is worth a watch. The trappers in the movie do some incredible stuff. (Travelling upstream in big canoes loaded with a snowmobile)

 

Werner Herzog is a famous german filmaker and this film is one of his personal favourites.

 

If you liked the Dick Proennekke movies (Alone in the Wilderness I and II) you will appreciate this movie.

 

Enjoy

Great movie. It gives you pause when you feel life is unfair. These guys are tough! and better woodsmen that most of us could even dream of being.
