Segment 3, August 5th, 2023
It’s always fun to watch a project grow. Over here at the Carolina Outdoors program, we’ve had the opportunity to visit with, learn from, & be entertained by a wide grouping of people. One of those people heads up Wild Bearings, is the author of a popular book at Jesse Brown’s, Fly Fishing the Blue Ridge Parkway, NC Section.
From that book came lectures, webcasts, and now a new undertaking, a new TV show on The Country Network – Wild Bearings Outdoors. Season one is in the books and season two is being planned now – first episode to be shot on the Biltmore Estate private waters. A discussion of how the book turned into a TV series. https://wildbearings.com/pages/webinars-points-of-interest with Sam Johnson.
Johnson’s YouTube presentations were noticed by management at the The Country Network which led to six episodes for the first season & has now been picked up for a second season.
We’ll learn how lighting, the setting, & the cooperation of the fish is a part of making a show. Plus, Sam’s show has a focus beyond just fishing. A lot talks about the history of the watershed, the ecosystem, & the people & organizations that are a part of it. He also talks about some of his favorite places not just to fish but to film & story tell a show.
We’ll find out about something that is required via digital and video programs: Bloopers
Learn Sam Johnson’s answer when he’s asked about the famed professional Bass fisherman & television angler Bill Dance bloopers that still air. We’ll find out if Wild Bearings Outdoors has any of those?
