Overview
In Welcome Back to Wasteland Fishing, Riley gleans discarded single use and household plastic items from two New York City beaches (Gerritsen and Plumb Beach) and fashions the trash into DIY fishing lures he then uses to catch fish. Riley presents his experimentation and field research in the genre of popular YouTube fishing tutorial. Within these actualizations of hyper masculine tropes and bucolic imaginings amateur videographers often interweave subtle product endorsements and have gained mass appeal for their calming slow pace.
