2016 Fly Fishing Film Tour Highlights
Finding Fontinalis by Travis Lowe – An old gaucho’s tale inspired the search for a new world-record brook trout; but the water, landscape and the culture surrounding it became the impetus to preserve a world treasure. Finding Fontinalis takes you to this remarkable fishing paradise in the heart of Patagonia, home to one of the last remaining world class brook trout fisheries.

Jungle Angler: Legend of El Dorado by Beattie Outdoor Productions – Recent trips deep into Bolivia have brought R.A. Beattie and his crew a new perspective on the uniqueness of jungle flyfishing. With each step deeper into the canopy, with every cast into unexplored pools, they journey toward the last real savage border to be explored by fly anglers.

Tidewater by TwoFisted Heart Productions – Three years ago, adrenaline junkie Art Webb barely escaped a rock climbing fall with his life. During his recovery, Art found a substitute thrill: pursuing marlin and other billfish with a fly rod off the coast of Virginia Beach. As Art began to tell his friends about his experiences offshore, two fellow fishing fanatics, Brian and Colby Trow, could not resist. This is a story of these three anglers on a flyfishing adventure to catch marlin in their backyard waters of Virginia.

Water is Life by Castaway Films – Grant Wiswell has spent the last two years circling the globe attempting to showcase how water connects three incredibly diverse fisheries while at the same time capturing the best fishing available in each location. On both counts he has succeeded. From Argentina’s Jurassic Lake with 30-inch rainbows that will readily eat a dry fly to the bull-headed GTs of the Seychelles and the carnivorous tiger fish of the Zambezi, this film contains some of the most remarkable fishing ever caught on film.

Chanos Chanos by Cpt. Jack Films – Perhaps the most challenging fish to catch in the Seychelles is the fabled milkfish, a turbo-charged algae eater growing to 40 pounds. A team of South African anglers have not only caught these amazing fish, but also pioneered the techniques that have allowed these selective fish to be caught.
