I just hope that the industry gets behind these people, so that it keeps going.
We had something very similar happen in Oz when ‘Wildfish’ with Peter Morse and ‘Á River Somewhere ‘ with Rob Sitch were on Free to Air TV. These series rocketed sales in fly gear, but the after-market help was in scarce supply. 6 months later there was a lot of second-hand fly gear in mint condition for sale.
Time to advertise casting tuition for all you instructors. Lest we loose them once again.
