Trout TV (Previously Columbia Country)
Chums on the Fly:
Pound for pound the chum is as tough a customer as the salmon species offer. Casting a fly rod for these big-boys doubles the excitement. In this action-packed episode, Trout TV traveled to the Harrison River in south western British Columbia to fly fish with Chris Ciesla, professional guide/owner of Bluewater Rockies Sportfish Guiding Co. Fasten your seat belts for this one!
Sturgeon Fury on the Fraser:
The Fraser River in British Columbia Canada is one of the west’s most diversified fisheries. Among its abundant species is the explosive sturgeon. On this episode, Trout TV featured a day out on the water with expert guide and outfitter, Chris Ciesla of Bluewater Rockies Sportfish Guiding Co, to pursue and battle BIG sturgeon.
Chum Salmon on Harrison River:
If you like non-stop action for powerful salmon, this episode is just for you! Chris Ciesla of Bluewater Rockies Sportfish Guiding Co. and Carl Mann head out to really mix it up on this show. Casting jigs for these powerful salmon is fun but when they break out the fly- rods, the bend never ends! A great episode filmed in the backdrop of Canada’s famous Harrison/Fraser River region.

Fly Max Films
Fly Max Films is a Canadian production company incorporated in 2007 with one clear objective; to raise the bar in the fishing – and fly fishing – TV show business. To date Fly Max Films has produced two full series and a multitude of TV commercials, and promotional videos for its clients.
The Fly Max crew hooked up with Chris Ciesla of Bluewater Rockies Sportfish Guiding Company for a jet boat adventure through the West’s Fraser, Harrison and Chehalis Rivers. 5 species of Pacific salmon in a single river? You bet! Besides putting a serious beating on Chum, Sockeye and Coho salmon, the crew also took a break to mess with the biggest freshwater fish in the World – the white sturgeon. Ok, ok, so it’s not fly fishing but catching any fish bigger than you appeals to any fisherman, regardless of their weapon of choice.
In-Line Fishing
On this episode, In-Line fishing headed to the West Coast seeking some great fishing adventures. Joined by host Steve Jojos & Gus Bravos as they fished the shores of the Fraser River during the November Chum Salmon run with Chris Ciesla, professional guide and owner of River Sport Fishing.
