Back In The Day Virgil Ward on Lake Powell | 1970's | Cliffs, Ruins, Crappie & Deep Bass

Some old fishing shows are really about the fish. And some are about the place. This one is about the place. Lake Powell’s sheer canyon walls, ancient cliff-dweller ruins, deep clear water, houseboats tucked back in quiet coves, and campfire light at the end of the day give this old episode a feeling that stays with you long after the fish are forgotten. In this classic Virgil Ward episode, the trip heads to Lake Powell on the Colorado River for crappie around brush-filled coves, deep-water bass in old creek channels, striking desert scenery, and the kind of rugged western landscape that made the whole journey feel bigger than the fishing alone. It’s a memorable mix of houseboat adventure, canyon country, ancient ruins, and classic outdoor television. In this Outdoor TV Classics presentation, Alan Warren adds brief hosted perspective and commentary to this classic episode.
