A haunting documentary narrated by the great Tom Skerritt (A River Runs Through It), Rivers of a Lost Coast reveals the events of the pivotal period between 1930 and 1980 on the rivers of Northern California.  The story is told through interviews with great anglers of the period, including Russell Chatham, Lani Waller and Hal Janssen with focus on Bill Schaadt, the notorious Russian River angler who centered the competitive angling culture that drew international attention in the 60's and 70's.  During this period, the Eel and Russian Rivers experienced environmental changes that would permanently alter the fisheries.  Skerritt has produced this stunning film by interlacing gripping interviews with hundreds of original sepia images of the men, rivers and fish.  Rivers of a Lost Coast will send shivers up your spine.

Staff recommendation!  This film honors the rivers and anglers of a compelling angling culture.
