That same year saw the release of Once in a Blue Moon, chronicling the "mouse hatch" in New Zealand that season. Directed by Carl McNeil, that award-winning and ground-breaking video is considered a classic of fly fishing films.

Here is a truncated and bootleg cut. The original runs for 40 minutes and can be obtained at Amazon and other outlets.
