West Coast Wild

West Coast Wild, a fly fishing adventure series I've recently been a part of filming, would love your voting help to get their web series funded to the tune of as much as $60000.  This series will follow the life struggles, epic adventures, and evolving relationships among a group of fly fishermen as they trek in to the wilds of BC.  If successful, West Coast Wild will be one of 15 BC creator groups to receive a $10000 grant to film a pilot episode.  If we’re named the top project among these 15 groups, we’d be given a further $50000 to film the complete series.  Here’s a link to our pitch.

The Fish Bowl

This is a FFF original.  It was some of the very first video footage I ever shot with the idea of "putting it out there".  The camera was standard definition but the scene was solid gold in my opinion.  Two fishing buddies working as one.  One working the rod, the other being the set of eyes.

Two feet further up.  That was right over him.  He bit it, he bit it, he bit it....

Pacific Northwest Steelhead--Screaming Reels Edition

I've owned lots of fly reels over the past 30 years but in the words of the great philosopher AP, Islanders are the "Shaguar" of reels.

Monster Bows

Jurassic Lake in Argentina is renowned for its huge rainbows.  We often see people holding up huge browns but huge rainbow footage is far less frequent.  My main contact at Islander Reels has made the trip and I've seen a number of pic's of impressive rainbows.  I love the tiger bows as some call them--heavily spotted beautiful trout.
