Man in a Red Shirt and Hat Fishing Beside a Rocky Stream — Clip Details

In the Lake Chelan area, Washington, circa 1940 home movie footage shows a man standing at the rocky edge of a flowing stream with a fishing rod. Seen from behind, he wears a red brimmed hat, a red long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers. He makes small movements with his hands while the rod extends diagonally over the water. One continuous, slightly unsteady shot holds him against rippling water, exposed rocks and a shaded wooded bank.

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: This circa 1940 color home movie shot serves documentary requests for Washington outdoor recreation and a brief view of an angler beside a flowing stream.
Period detail: The red brimmed hat, tucked long-sleeved shirt and dark belted trousers may show outdoor dress associated with the section's circa 1940 estimate.
Home-movie behavior: The man concentrates on his rod with his back to the camera, giving the scene an informal, observational quality.
What appears in frame: A red-clad angler holds a slender rod beside rippling water, exposed rocks, fallen wood and a dark wooded bank.
Film character: Soft focus, grain, deep shadows, blue-purple color rendition and slight framing drift give the projected-film capture its archival texture.
Edit role: Use it as a short activity insert or cutaway between broader views of the lake outing and camp life.
Historical context: The scene records recreational fishing within a mountain-lake outing, with clothing and equipment more legible than the angler's identity or exact location.
Research note: The man faces away and no readable branding appears; copyright licensing remains separate from any applicable likeness or property permissions.
Research search match: Matches searches for circa 1940 Washington fishing, Lake Chelan area home movies and color small-gauge footage of an angler beside a rocky stream.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with the same reel's large-fish display, rowboat and woodland camp scenes, then with Lake Chelan area footage circa 1940 and other stream-fishing material.
