World Fishing Network, the leading entertainment destination and digital resource for anglers throughout North America, announces a new original production, Shorelines with April Vokey, a 10-part episodic adventure documentary exclusive to World Fishing Network slated to premiere in January 2015.
“World Fishing Network is excited to welcome April as the host of Shorelines with April Vokey ,” said Ana Rodrigues, Director of Programming for World Fishing Network. “April’s incredible knowledge of the sport of fly fishing and her ability to engage and interact with her fan base is a winning combination. Her sense of adventure can be rivaled only by her passion for what she does, and viewers will be immediately drawn in by the first cast of the series.”
Travel with world-renowned female fly fisher, April Vokey, her dog, Colby, and a professional photographer as they set normal life aside and venture off on a journey to document and discover stories, myths and legends for April’s upcoming book covering the history of steelhead and Atlantic salmon fly fishing in North America.
Determined, committed and driven to achieve a lifelong dream of authoring a book chronicling her discoveries and travels, Shorelines with April Vokey steps outside the lines to face the unknown of life on the road – from fickle weather and wildlife to meeting an array of diverse personalities – both on and off the water.
“Shorelines is more than a show to me; it’s the culmination of my lifelong goal to author a book on a subject that is extremely close to my heart along with my desire to understand the traditions that paved the way for our modern fly fishing techniques,” said Vokey.
Discovering a passion for fly fishing in her teens, April Vokey has since dedicated her life to the pursuit, culminating in her founding of Fly Gal Adventures (FlyGal.ca) in 2007 at age 24. April has established herself as a respected authority in the sport and traveled the globe in pursuit of game fish on a fly rod. Her writing has appeared in numerous industry publications, including Fly Fisherman, Fly Rod & Reel and Fly Fusion magazines, and she has been featured as a host on Fly Nation TV.
“Shorelines with April Vokey will bring a new standard of visual storytelling to television,” added Nick Pujic, Executive Producer for Vantage Point Media House, which is producing Shorelines with April Vokey for World Fishing Network. “The attention to each and every shot accentuates the storyline in a way that will engage viewers while demystifying today’s common misconceptions about fly fishing and its rich history in North America.”
