This new entry in the acclaimed Discoveries… series from Bennett-Watt Entertainment--producers of high-definition-filmed video guides--is partially aimed at fly-fishing enthusiasts looking for pristine rivers and lakes, gorgeous surroundings, and little competition from other tourists. The perfect spot, it seems, is Patagonia ("the last great frontier for trout fishing"), which is essentially the lower half of Argentina, running along both sides of the Andes mountains for 1,000 miles and boasting a dazzling, disparate topography. In addition, the program visits a tourist lodge in the foothills of the Andes (where one can fatten up on picnics between fishing expeditions), serves up extraordinary footage of whales chasing sea lions near the shoreline at Peninsula de Valdez, and drops in at the Patagonian “digs” where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hid out. Another solid adventure full of informative and entertaining armchair traveling, this is definitely recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
