Ryan Kral Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 All right guys, little challenge here! I have a love of fishing, especially fly fishing, but like everyone here, more importantly just getting some fresh air and enjoying the water and challenge. I am also a musician, not by trade, just hobby. I have a few fishing trips planned for this year, besides my regular home water fishing. I would like to put together some good fishing/road trip songs to help get me in the mood, not that I need any help getting in the mood to fish! If you guys can help, maybe we'll see the first ISA album this year, next thing you know, we're buying copyrights, and all the ISA members are Millionares! Or maybe thats just fishermans hope! Any songs? Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I too have a small collection of fishing songs. Some of my favorites are "Great American Fisherman" (it's the theme to Roland Martin's show), Brad Paisley's "I'm going to miss her", and my top pick, "Gone Fishing" by Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby.

John Gillio Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 A group out of Wisconsin, called Shad Rapp, has some CDs out that are mostly hunting, fishing,and drinking related. They're on Slimy Pike Productions,and they are a hoot. I have one CD called," Double Shot" that has all the tunes from their first two CDs. Great stuff ! Worlds Greatest Fishing Band, "Papa Was A Fishin' Man" 4 CD set, has one entire CD devoted to fly fishing. My favorite however is," When Tammy Does The Shimmy At The Fish Fry". Don Williams, "Currents" CD is a nice easy flowing set of songs with one that's called, "Catfish Bates" that is quite good. I have some good stuff that I'll have to look up to find the artists for. I'll post them later. One is a great bass fishing tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan held Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 another group is Troll for Trout. also Ben Winship and David Thompson sing some fishing songs. I picked those up on a fishing song CD, but I bet you can get them on Itunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillKreznor Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I've got 2 for you: Taj Mahal's "Fishing Blues". "And It Stoned Me" by Van Morrison, tho not really a fishing song, kind of describes what happens to two guys after their fishing trip gets rained out.

John Gillio Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Brad Paisley's "Catch All The Fish" from the"American Saturday Night" CD is a great tune."Water", is also on this CD."Five Pound Bass", by Robert Earl Keen,Jr. is quite good. I like the Dirt Band's "Fishin' In The Dark". You would have to include the theme song to the Andy Griffith Show. I think it's called " The Fishin' Hole".

Paul Chausse Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 If you're into trout fishing, there is a group of guys, Artie Traum, Chris Shaw & Tom Akstens, that have an album titled Big Trout Radio: Songs About Fishing that I came across that I like a lot. Anglin' Wayne and the Trollers have some good tunes, and a guy I came accross name David Walburn has a really nice sound to his blend of fishing/outdoor songs. I have a playlist of about 160 "Fishing Tunes" songs on my iPod that is a combination of songs specifically about fishing and some really good modern Bluegrass.

Scott Ferguson Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have a CD called "My Bait Died" by the Total Fishheads "An assortment of original fishing songs by total fishheads." The Total Fishheads happens to be Larry Dahlberg and David Swanson. Larry is credited with lead guitar and lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a a clip on "Hunt for Big Fish" of one of the songs from that album, but I thought it was just a spoof. Is it worth buying the disc?

I'm gonna have to say that it's not really the type of music I want to hear on my way to or way home from a day or week of fishing if it all sounds like that.

Mike Flyrodder Miller Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Got them. Thanks If you love flyfishing and have ever fished Michigan waters than you might like a CD I picked up many years ago called "River Songs". I think it was by Charlie Weaver (river guide from Michigan) and another local from Michigan. It's a collection of songs accompanied by either banjo or guitar or both.

gordon p Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Here is Bucky Halker's "Fish on a Line" Shakespeare and Buddha in a song about fishing. That's me on the bass----uh, bass guitar. http://www.we7.com/#/song/Bucky-Halker/Fish-On-A-Line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 This may sound goofy but I like to listen to this song by Rush before spending a day chasing the smallies. This would be neat music to put a bunch of picture to in a fast action type video. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Q9TF9h7OqrU You can almost hear when to set the hook and when the smallie takes to air.

JeffD Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ryan, Maybe this "Girls Gone Grabbin" tune will get you in the mood. For what, it's not so clear. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Thompson Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Angling Wayne and the Trollers!!!! I believe he's out of Wisconsin. he's got a CD out called "12 pack of fishing songs". It's actually pretty good! http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/warrennelson Chasin' Steel from the U.P. of Michigan http://www.chasinsteel.com/ Drew Nelson who did the Music for my musky DVD has quite a few fishing related songs and his producer is Michael Crittenden who is the founder of Troll for Trout. http://www.myspace.com/trollfortrout http://www.drewnelson.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kast Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 My wife is right.... I hang out with a bunch of dweebs! The only fishing song I ever think of is "Standing By A River" by the Climax Blues Band, which I can't find a video for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
