VIDEO REVIEW:
"The Way of a Trout"
By Brent Merrill
If you are looking for an informational trout video for
children and adults alike, then this Trout Unlimited
offering is just what you're after. "The Way of a Trout"
is written and narrated by Frederick O. Hutchinson who
assumes the role of "The Angler" throughout the video.
Hutchinson takes the viewers on one of his fishing
adventures and along the way educates you on the entire
freshwater trout spawning and growth process by way of
some sharp, sophisticated photography. Hutchinson's
video, which was produced and directed by James W.
Wilkie and photographed and edited by the respected
Fred J. Roleff, follows a rainbow trout's life from
spawning to adulthood from a unique "fish-eye" view.
Hutchinson and Roleff detail the mating process and
the beginnings of life. They explain the trout's intense
instinct for survival and educate the viewers on the
various life-threatening situations that all young trout
inevitably find themselves in. Threats like water
scorpions, adult trouts, king fisher's, ducks, otters, green
herons and finally man are all illustrated. Roleff s
photography is at its best when a trout's life or death
struggle with an otter is captured on film.
This Disney-like video is perfect for educating children
about all aspects of the fresh water trout species and just
entertaining enough to keep an adult's attention. 1
