The Fly Fishing Film Tour is a traveling collection of fly fishing movies that aim to inspire and invigorate anglers by showcasing quality films in a true theater environment. It's like a Warren Miller premier party complete with prizes and live emcee.
In just three years the Fly Fishing Film Tour has become the sport’s premier entertainment event. This 90-minute mini-film festival presents all new short movies from the sport’s best filmmakers. This year’s lineup offers a truly global experience showcasing footage shot in Papua New Guinea, Russia, New Zealand, Belize, as well as domestic waters from California and Colorado to Southern Louisiana and the Florida Keys. Each film has a unique flavor and message and blend of hilarious commentary, awe-inspiring cinematography, mesmerizing storytelling, and, of course, tons of incredible fish. But the common thread that permeates all of these films is the desire to showcase, support and spread the sport we love. The Fly Fishing Film Tour is an opportunity for fans of fish, and film, to come together and celebrate their passions, support local and national conservations organizations, check out never-before-seen locations, swap stories and get fired up for the upcoming fly fishing season.

Denver Fly Fishing Show Recap

Another great year at the Fly Fishing Show!



Can you say one large crowd in attendance. Most of the Outfitters and guests I spoke with reconfirmed my idea about why it was so crowded. One reason was that AFFTA did not compete with the show this year, thank goodness this didn't happen! Last year there were many frustrated people, most of which were vendors that were subject to fewer crowds seeing how some only attended one or the other so not the large crowd that normally rolls into the merchant mart each year.

Which speakers or Seminars were worth seeing? For those that have never attended (who is that?) there is something for everyone. I attended both Sat and Sundays events and tried to make as many as possible, something about no skiing and fishing lately to get me in the mood for Fish Talk!

Sat
Jim Teeney- Great Lakes, Steelhead and Browns
Can you think of a better person to talk about Big Fish, this guy is the best and will answer any question you have about how to catch big fish and go after Steely's
Charlie Meck- Man has this guy been around and knows his stuff! Don't forget to try his Blueberry fly and the Patriot...deadly flies
Ian Davis- This presentation got me eager for another Bahamas trip and some Bonefish
Rumbo Patagon Chile- After my trip to Patagonia last year, I had to go back for some areas to hit on my next trip...great presentation and pictures
Will Blair -Kamchatka rainbows, for those who have never been, including myself I need to get my butt to Russia! Mouse patterns, 0X and large Bows on top,,,,,,Wow!



Diana on Salt

Sun
Diana Rudolph- She knows her stuff and man did I learn a bunch. For someone who has caught the largest Tarpon ever by a women and who has traveled the globe, she has my attention. Thanks for the info on booking mine and Dave's next Keys Trip@
Damien Nurre- Awesome chat on Steelheading on the Deschutes. My trip is almost booked and I'll call you come Springtime for a trip. Good to chat about Chile also with you~
Scott Leon- with Paradigm Charters gave the most insightful presentation on Fighting Big fish for the entire weekend. He has a lifelong passion for big Saltwater fish and I truely learned what to do/not to do when I catch my next big saltwater tarpon/tuna or billfish...thanks Scott!



Featured Fly Tyers

There were a handful of great tyers around this year and for those looking for tips, amazing looking flies as well as hands on teaching....this was the place!
Dave Whitlock-should I say more, Dave's flies are always in my box, trout, carp and bass
Brian Yamauchi-Talk about a talented tyer, everytime I tried to talk to my buddy he had 20 people around him!
Vincent Su- Vincent is always teaching me something new and now he has a new 720 vise to help others make things a bit easier to tie. Can't wait to fish with you again Vincent!
AK Best- This guy knows his stuff and can definitely tie patterns I've never seen before.
John Betts- Always learning something from John and he has been tying and teaching for years.

Right before I left I wanted to get some feedback on my Bamboo Fly rods. I have 5 Bamboo's that I was lucky enough to come across them over the years. My eyes were lit up as to whether I had some Primo goods or some Primo Duds! I found out from the guys at Rocky Mountain Bamboo Revival Group that I had some decent ones, a few missing parts that could be replaced, but neither Primo nor Duds so I guess all was not lost!

More on Fly Fish Addiction

Beginning Sunday, September 28, 2008 a half-hour show featuring celebrity guests and some of the most beautiful recreational real estate in the world will be featured locally on the Mountain West Sports Network. The show will air locally that day at 9:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. on basic Comcast channel 411 and Direct TV channel 616. Check local listings.

*The Next Showing is Monday Oct 6th 8am, otherwise check for additional showtimes.

“From our top notch trout fishing to our infinite attractions to explore, New Mexico is no longer a well-kept secret among world-class anglers,” said Governor Bill Richardson. “Mix in history, shopping, unique festivals and a host of cultural activities and you have the makings for an incredible outdoor escape.”

“Field Day TV” is produced by Dan Narsete, outdoor expert, fishing guide and former executive producer and host of the radio show, “The Colorado ESPN Outdoor Show;” and is hosted by Tim Neverett, a veteran of the sports broadcasting business as a studio host and play by play announcer for Fox Sports Network covering the Colorado Rockies, college football and basketball, and most recently, the Olympic Games in Beijing.

In the “Santa Fe episode,” the Governor will be featured fishing in his interview, which took place at Val Kilmer’s Pecos River Ranch. Some of the properties featured in the Santa Fe segment, co-hosted by Jen Hoffman, Deputy Secretary of the New Mexico Tourism Department, include La Fonda on the Plaza, Back at the Ranch, La Boca Restaurant, and Legends Santa Fe. The episode featuring the Governor and New Mexico will be broadcast at least 10 times throughout October, with an estimated viewing audience of 17 million households.

“New Mexico’s recreational pursuits are as diverse as its citizens,” said Michael Cerletti, Secretary of the New Mexico Tourism Department, “and fishing has always been one of the most popular pursuits for children of all ages. We appreciate the Governor’s dedication and involvement in helping us promote New Mexico’s great outdoors to such a large television audience.”
