Press release
Fly fishing's most celebrated annual event, the Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T), the original and largest event of its kind begins its continent-wide trek January 26th. The Traveling spectacle serves as a stage for the best filmmakers in the industry, an avenue for supporting critical conservation groups, an expo for local retailers and outfitters, and one heck of a party for aspiring outdoor enthusiasts and avid anglers alike.

This year's spectacle promises a greater sense of adventure and diversity of content than any prior tour or other touring show. "We've got incredible footage from our favorite backyard locales like Montana, Florida, Idaho, and the Gulf, and we've got some amazing segments from destinations like the Bahamas, Belize, Alaska, New Zealand, and Canada," says F3T Filmmaker and Road Manager Thad Robison. "But on top of that is the unique stories that are told along the way. We've got a punk rock band fishing in Wisconsin, a surgeon with Parkinson's getting after it at Hemingway's favorite old spots, a touching father-son story from Scotland, even this amazingly shot piece about nothing but insects. We believe adventure is what you make of it, and regardless of where you are, it's all about doing what you love."

F3T encourages anyone interested to buy discounted tickets from their local fly fishing retailers - support the local folks.
