The short silent film was first shown by the traveling cinema Grand Théatre Edison of Christiaan Slieker on Sunday, November 29, 1896 in the Parktuin Tivoli in Utrecht.
The film was not preserved and no known photos were taken of it. It is a lost film.
It is only known that Gestoorde hengelaar was a slapstick comedy scene from the flyer which Slieker distributed.
The film was shown in Slieker's cinema using a cinematograph, made by H.O. Foersterling & Co from Berlin, Germany. A fairground organ provided music during the film's showing.
