First, the theme song just transports me back to weekend mornings as a kid. Second, this is how I still like to fish. No bells and whistles, simple fishing, a depth finder/fish located ok, but some of this modern technology as for me just takes the enjoyment of figuring it out.

Jim Thomas- he was a hell of a nice guy. I knew him in his later years. “Come on up fellas”

I loved Virgil ward and Kurt Goudy on Sunday afternoons back in the 60s. It was the joy of the week for a kid that hated school. I now live in theodosia on bullshoais lake😊

Love these videos .Many thanks

I am really enjoying everything you’ve uploaded so far and hope we can see the subscriber base grow in 2025 🙏

Lakes don't turn over in the spring. They (some) STRATIFY over time in the spring and summer.

Watching from Australia. Excellent !

Would you like to see more outdoor TV shows from the golden age?

Wish lone star beer or someone would sponsor these shows. I remember jim driving those international scouts on his show. I guided on lake Texoma’ from mid 70s till early 90s full and part time. My dad guided for 25 years there.

I watched Virgil every Saturday morning as a kid.

It looks like it was fantastic after the New deal in the roosevelt administration developing these new fishing areas looks great

I fished for trout on the White River a few times. I lived near Calico Rock, and it was a good fishing area.

Great videos!!!Any Julius Boros?

Wow can’t believe I’m watching this 66 yrs later , gad was my first inspiration, I started with the cane pole , moved up to and old casting rod pops had a couple extras , and eventually moved up to a 2nd hand fly rod I bought with my money doing odd chores around the neighbors, I got it at a yard sale $5 bucks that was around 1958 , hollow glass 6 wt and reel , still got it !

I remember watching Mr. Gaddis on television back when I was 8 or 9. He is part of what got me interested in fly fishing because he eventually starts to do it. Back in the day when every fishing trip was an adventure!

Jim Thomas … wow, I remember watching this show with my dad in the 50’s and thought it was great then. What happened to all the comments that were on here previously about this show?

Thanks for posting this! Your title is off by a decade or so. This series “Going Places with Gadabout Gaddis” appeared in the early 1950’s. His later show “The Flying Fisherman” appeared on the 1960s.

Great memories of childhood watching these episodes, thanks!

Love the music on these old shows. Heard about Gadabut Gaddis, don't know where or when, but I'm amazed to find out that he was actually a real person with a real show. Always thought the name was associated with a cartoon or something fictional.

So glad I found your channel. This is an excellent project, reissuing these brilliant outdoor programs. Stay dedicated and motivated, the UA-cam thing is a tricky proposition, with followers coming quickly or slowly, in bursts and times of seemingly no growth at all. But if you stick with it and publish regularly your channel is sure to grow over time and will no doubt be extremely successful. People are hungry for this kind of content, the trick is getting it in front of them, getting them to learn about it and find it. Best of luck. This is a fantastic channel.

Jim Thomas is my wife's grandfather. If you have any more video/content, would love to see it.

Thx for showing this.
