Fly Fishing Film Tour

Wednesday, March 20th at 5:00pm & 8:00pm

 

The Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) will make a splash in Big Sky on
Wednesday, March 20th at the Lone Peak Cinema with two showings at 5 and 8 PM. The
2019 tour showcases ten fly fishing films from around the world.
“This remarkable evening of outdoor cinema is in itself an adventure you won’t soon
forget,” promised the film tour website. “With an emphasis on the people, places, and
fisheries that help make up the vast world of fly fishing, the 2019 F3T will take you from
Alaska to Florida, South Dakota to French Polynesia, British Columbia to the coast of
Australia, and more!”
The Big Sky show is a not-to-be-missed event with a special appearance by Karlie
Rowland, star of 2019 film tour selection “Where it All Started”. The flick tells the story of
her return to the Henry’s Fork, where she is a fourth generation angler, after three years
in Seattle. Rowland will be available to meet fans and for a question and answer session
after each show.
A tasting gallery featuring local spirits will give fishy folk the chance to wet their whistles
between footage that shines a spotlight on finned protagonists, including trout,
steelhead, permit, and tarpon.
One film, “The Return”, follows a fisheries biologist on a two-day journey into a remote
corner of Yellowstone National Park as he investigates whether or not native cutthroat
trout have returned to their spawning tributaries after ten years of restoration. Another
short, “Alignment”, chronicles Eric Jackson through a season spent snowboarding and
seeking steelhead.
In addition to highlighting the best fly fishing films, the F3T partners with local fly shops
and conservation organizations from across the country. Last year, the tour raised more
than $500,000 to fund education and conservation projects that enhance the sport of fly fishing. Proceeds from the Big Sky event will support the Gallatin River Task Force in
their mission to protect the Gallatin River.
The 2019 Fly Fishing Film Tour will premier in Big Sky on March 20th, 2018 at 5 and 8 PM.
Tickets will be a suggested $10 donation to support the future of cold, clean, and
abundant water in the Gallatin River. Ace Hardware, Big Sky Vacation Rentals, Haas
Builders, Lone Peak Physical Therapy, Grizzly Outfitters, and Lone Peak Cinema
sponsored the Big Sky event.
