SCTV Network 90 - Season 0 Episode 22 The Red Fisher Show
So where did the concept of Fishin' Musician and its host Gil Fisher come from? Before the days of specialty TV networks, about the only good fishing and camping on TV in Canada and the northern U.S. was a little independent show called The Red Fisher Show. Short on polish but long on heart, it ran for 21 years starting in 1968 and followed Red and his celebrity guests as they traveled all over the world in search of adventure. Each episode opened with Red setting up the story and telling a few tales on the studio set porch of what became his famous Scuttlebut Lodge. Red's show was also partially the inspiration for another Canadian hit comedy series, The Red Green Show. For those of you that miss Red's show, here is some great news, at 88 years of age he is still reeling in the big ones.
