TROUT TV

A progressive new fly fishing show that features many of North America's most coveted fly fishing destinations including a few not so well known. The show is hosted by Hilary Hutcheson with co-host Rich Birdsell. Hilary represents one of the more unique positions in outdoor television i.e. a female in the roll of primary host. She is an exciting talent and well qualified for the position. Growing up in western Montana, Hilary worked through her teens as a fly fishing and whitewater guide before earning a broadcast degree at the University on Montana. Rich Birdsell is also a rare talent delivering unique insights from years of guiding experience and trout fishing knowledge. In addition to his roll as co-host, Rich operates a successful outfitting business (THE NORTHERN ROCKIES OUTFITTER) in western Montana.

TROUT TV is produced by Bob Asbury, Sun West Productions, Liberty Lake, Washington. Before the launch of TROUT TV, Bob produced and distributed COLUMBIA COUNTRY sport fishing show, a popular series that ran for 10 years throughout much of the western U.S.

TROUT TV is distributed on over 40 broadcast stations throughout the
greater Pacific and Rocky Mountain West including Alaska. The show also has distribution throughout much of western Canada.
