The 19th annual FLY FISHING FILM TOUR (F3T) presented by Costa, Skwala and others is back in action and hitting the road with a top notch selection of short films that are sure to get you fired up for the season ahead.
This year’s Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) features an exciting lineup of films that capture the spirit of adventure and perseverance in the world of fly fishing. Highlights include Dan’s Pain II which follows the determined and lovable Dan as he faces his greatest challenge yet: catching the elusive musky. After 10,000 failed casts, he’s ready to flip the script on his bad luck, with musky legend Blane Chocklett stepping into the boat to give Dan one final shot.
The Hard Way takes viewers to the rugged Deschutes River, where guide Matt Mendes reflects on the river's raw beauty, its challenges, and the deep connections formed between its waters and the people who cherish it. Bumpyland showcases the heart-pounding action of bumphead parrotfish fishing in the pristine waters of Providence Atoll, pushing anglers to their limits.
In Shadow People at the Falls, April and Sam venture into the remote wilderness of Guyana, targeting arapaima and peacock bass while also encountering uncontacted tribes that still call the region home. Streamers, Steamers & Struggles on the Krka follows four kayakers as they turn rafting into an unconventional method for fly fishing on Slovenia’s stunning Krka River, casting under castles and battling the pressures of a competitive environment.
Mouse Trap tells the story of two best friends who spend an unforgettable week night fishing for giant brown trout, finally landing the fish of their dreams on the last night of their trip. Echoes in the Tundra sees Fred Campbell returning to the Leaf River in Nunavik, where he explores the mesmerizing autumn landscapes and the spawning Atlantic salmon, while caribou migrate across this pristine and untouched territory.
Left Field introduces Ilya, a no-nonsense angler who pushes herself to the limits, understanding the grueling journey of a true fisherman while redefining what it means to truly earn the catch. From elusive fish to remote fisheries, these stories reflect the spirit of adventure, determination, and the raw connection between anglers and the wild places they love. More films to come.
The F3T is the original and largest fly fishing film event of its kind. Come for the action and stay for the giveaways and camaraderie that will feed your fishing addiction.
Proceeds
Majority of the proceeds go to benefit our friends at the Ohio Chapter of the Native Fish Coalition.
Native Fish Coalition was founded in 2017. We are a nonpartisan, apolitical, grassroots, donor-funded, primarily volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the conservation, preservation, and restoration of wild native fish. While most of our members are avid anglers, our focus is not limited to so-called “gamefish.” We are however often - but by no means always - focused on gamefish, and the reason is twofold: Native gamefish are often the species that are most threatened, and what is good for these fish is good for all native fish.
It is the belief of Native Fish Coalition that no stream, river, pond or lake is truly healthy or “restored” until its full complement of native flora and fauna is intact and it is devoid of nonnative species and hatchery-raised fish. While clean water and healthy riparian zones are a necessary foundation for establishing healthy aquatic ecosystems, they are not an absolute indication of overall ecological health.
