Al Agnew Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 There is a Bee Bluff on the Jacks Fork (about two miles above Bay Creek, river left), a Bee Bluff on the Current (7 or 8 miles above Two Rivers on river left), and a Bee Bluff on the Buffalo. There were several shots of the Ponca to Kyles stretch of the upper Buffalo shown, and a couple of them was showing that Bee Bluff, which is the first big bluff below Ponca, on river right. Any of the scenes with high, smooth, heavily streaked bluffs were of the upper Buffalo, and it was mentioned in the narration as well. I believe the scene with the river going past a bluff with a broad, gently sloping shelf of solid rock at water's edge was also of the upper Buffalo at Jims Bluff.
eric1978 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 How do you blow past that spot without taking a cast?! Aarrgghh! Slow down partner! Very cool video of a better time...and better fishing. Why do ALL narrators from the 50s and 60s sound EXACTLY the same?
ness Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Why do ALL narrators from the 50s and 60s sound EXACTLY the same? LOL. I thought that too. You suppose it was one guy doing it all? John

hank franklin Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 LOVE. Thanks for posting, watched the whole thing.
ColdWaterFshr Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Excellent video. Takes me back to grade-school too, Ness, and the whir of the 8mm film projector. And the narrator -- is that the guy that narrated the Waltons as the voice of an older John Boy?
Greasy B Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 When I watched it I thought about the way canvas tents smelled, the way my old Grumman canoe sounded when it hit a rock and the hiss of the gas lantern. The canvas tent smell has long been replaced by nylon, the bang crunch of aluminum on rock is long gone and I haven’t heard the hiss of a gas lantern since I discovered head lamps with red filters. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
Members AJ Brown Posted February 29, 2012 Members Posted February 29, 2012 That video dates me by over 20 years - but is still incredible. I don't imagine there's anyone out there who fishes/floats that wouldn't agree. Thanks for posting.
exiledguide Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks Chief, brings back a lot of memories, Alley Springs was a state park , wood sidewalks in some of the towns, getting in a canoe and seeing hardly anyone else on the Jacks' on a weekday, leaving your stuff in front of your canvas wall tent when you took your kids down to the swimming beach knowing it would be there when you came back.
