In October of 2009 we headed to Mexico to film at Casa Blanca and Playa Blanca Lodge, in hopes of creating a segment for the Fly Fishing Film Tour.  Over the course of 10 days we (cameramen Joey Macomber and RA Beattie) documented a group from Ketchum on the Fly as they searched for Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon and Snook on the fly.  We had a great shoot and captured stunning media of Bonefish, Tarpon and Snook, but the Permit eluded us…

In December we had an opportunity to return to the lodge to finish the shoot. Again, things looked bleak as a bad northern storm pounded us all week.  On the last two days of the trip, however, we were granted a bit of sun and a break from the wind and were able to get out on the flats.  During this time Casa Blanca’s Eric Carvalho landed a beautiful Permit on film, then went on to land one of the largest Snook I have ever seen.

We are currently shooting and editing our new film titled “Off the Grid.” Shot in Mexico, Alaska, British Columbia, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Florida and a few surprise locations.

This fly fishing film is about places that are off the beaten path.  It is about people that live the fly fishing lifestyle, not to be a name, but because fly fishing is part of their soul. It is about unspoken hatches, unknown fish, and Rivers that will go unnamed. This new film will be available on DVD in July 2010.

About the DVD:

It has been over five years since we started filming fly fishing around the world.  It has been an amazing journey that has taken us to the ends of the earth.  You may have seen portions of our footage over the years in film festivals such as The Fly Fishing Film Tour or The Drake Magaine’s 5 Minutes of Fly Fishing Video Awards.  But we’ve never released anything anything of length to the public… until now.

This DVD Features over 3 1/2 hrs of Fly Fishing Content:

4 Featured Films: Nervous Water, First Descent Alaska, Slovenia on the Fly and Bird Chasers.

6 Short Films: NC Redfish, Desrt Bass, Permit and Bonefish, Wyoming Carp, Black Drum and Wyoming Cutties.

4 Award Winning Shorts: Angling Addiction, Kate and Mark, Stream of Consciousness and Green Screen.

The Fishporn Cut: And to answer the call for more ’straight up fish porn,’ we’ve compiled all the best shots from over the years, to create a seamless collection of fishporn from around the world… no storyline, just music and fish.
