Default WFN free programming

I have been watching a few shows to see if anything is very good.

Typical bass fishing shows don't interest me...it is the same old thing...each and every show. It is like golfing...fun to be out drinking with the buddies...but not much fun watching IMHO.

Still I have found two shows I like

Flats Class

and

First Descent Alaska.

Both good shows.

I am still looking for others. Anyone else have a favorite I can look for?

Try sport fishing on the fly and the new fly fisher. Also if you are interested in walleye shows you can check out the next bite and lindners angling edge. I am also a fan of the fact of fishing. That first decent alaska show is just a single episode that they show once and awhile. I also really liked it. Check out tuesday evenings for all the fly fishing shows. Fly Nation is another show that I find myself watching once and awhile.

I find if I watch it 24/7 for a week...I am good until the next free trial run.

There is an obviously lack of new programming which for me decreases my interest.

Found this on Shaw...looks like it is classed as a sports station...

Free preview of World Fishing Network until March 30WFN is the only 24/7 television network dedicated to all things fishing — instruction, tips, tournaments, travel, food, boating, outdoor lifestyle and more. Get hooked with a free preview March 2 to 30.

watched the New Fly Fisher on the weekend and they were on the NSR.... pretty cool flyfishing for walleye, pike and goldeye

I also always enjoy Facts of Fishing... lots of bass fishing, but its always entertaining

Fishy Jobs was a pretty neat show too

My brother usually invites me over on Tuesday evenings to watch "Flyfish Tuesday"; they show 4-5 flyfishing shows in a row.
I remember having a free preview for a month some time ago; the novelty wore off pretty quick...
