American Angler: April 2006By Zach Matthews

It was bound to happen eventually, so it should come as no surprise that the reaity-TV craze has hit fly fishing. But wait, you say, how can you make a reality-TV show about fly fishing? Aren't all the fly fishing shows on TV already about reality? Easy-you add a fake environment. The folks at ESPN, the masters of adding competition where none existed before, have come up with Guide House: Montauk, a fictionalized "real house" where top guides live in close quarters during the famous East Coast striper run.....What better place to feature good-looking anglers guiding hot-ticket clients in a charity fishing tournament or two? Who knows, they might even find a way to keep score. No word yet on whether any of the guides will be handing out roses or be voted off the Point.
