Rick and Fly Fishing

Post by Todd B. »

For those of you that didn't catch the Rick Mercer show last night, you missed a great episode (9), with Ian Colin James teaching Rick how to fly fish! ;-)

Thanks, Todd. Someone on another board mentioned this episode and I was going to view it on CBC today - you saved me from searching.

It was absolutely hilarious! Nice to see C. David Howell in the mix, too.
Time's fun when you're having flies.

The fly fishing was a bit short - 10 minutes approx - but very good. Ian Colin James is funny.

The show that was shown on the CBC on Thursday will again be shown on Friday - November 27, 2009 at 8:30 PM -according to the online TV guide.

The Mercer show will be repeated on Friday - November 27. So, we get to see Ian Colin James again - both were funny but not in a stupid way.
