"Geofish: A Mayan Prophecy" trailer - by MOTIV Fishing | Fly Fishing Movie from The Fly Fishing Film Tour on Vimeo.
The Fly Fishing Film Tour website just released a new teaser today by Motiv Fishing, formerly known as AEG Media - the creators of the Trout Bum Diaries series. This film, Geofish: A Mayan Prophecy documents a trip deep into the jungles of Belize. The mission: to find undisclosed fishing areas on the other side of the deepest and most rugged jungles. It is the second film in the series, the first was Geofish: Mexico. If you liked this film or any of the Trout Bum Diaries series, I'm sure this film will not fall short in great film, adventure and fly fishing.
Smith River permit! Below are important dates to keep an eye on throughout the permitting process.

One of the films being shown at this year’s Fly Fishing Film Tour is one that many may find to be an interesting and unlikely juxtaposition in the fly fishing world. Did you ever think you would hear the words punk rock and fly fishing in the same sentence? Reverb: A Punk Rock Love Story is a documentary about three musicians who were a part of the Chicago punk rock scene in the late 80s, early 90s, who find a passion for fly fishing along the way. These punk rockers take us from the punk rock music scene to the crystal clear creeks of the Driftless Area, where they “let go of everything and get into a different state of mind… without taking a fistful of pills.”

There aren’t a lot of days during the year that we all get off work to fish together, and then the chances of us being able to all go fishing on those days is even less with families and significant others these days. However, New Year’s Day has become tradition since the first year we started the fly shop (Photos from 2011 aqui). Of course, this is the day after New Year’s Eve parties and it has never been an early start, and usually the weather is near intolerable. This year the weather looks like it is going to cooperate, so as long as we can shake everyone out of bed; Slay Day 2012 should be a good start to the New Year. Party Responsibly Tonight. Happy New Year. See you on the river tomorrow?
Welp... Get Your Party Started... Thanks for a Great Year Everyone!

Mr. Fred Telleen has just entered the house of Big R Fly Shop starting now until May since he is back from his annual guide routine on the Kenai River in Alaska and back with his family here in Great Falls. Fred is a great resource for all things fly fishing, and we are excited to have him on the team this winter. Come in and pick his brain on some of his trout tactics. He is also knowledgable on fishing the Missouri in the winter months (since that is his only opportunity to be fishing it). Fred is the owner and outfitter of Mystic Waters Guide Service in Alaska. Check out his blog at mysticwaters.com. Below is a bio of Fred from his website. (Above: Fred on the right and partner Stacey on the left with a double on the Naknek River, Alaska.)Owner / Guide
Guiding anglers and spending the fishing season outdoors in Alaska has been my passion since 1989. Years of guiding have taught me the techniques necessary to make your fishing trip experience educational and productive. I can honestly say that I am one of the first dedicated fly fishing drift boat guides to work the Kenai River. In 2006, I was honored with induction into the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame as a Legendary Guide. You can expect top-notch service and 100% effort on every trip. I love sharing the Kenai River and surrounding waters with my guests. Having fun and making your angling dreams come true is my goal.
Mystic Waters welcomes both experienced and novice anglers. I leaned to fish with conventional tackle, but soon developed into a passionate fly-fisherman. I can customize your fishing trip whether your experience is with fly-fishing or not. If you are interested in learning to fly-fish, do not be intimidated. It is fun and you can learn to catch fish in a very short time. Teaching anglers something new and sharing in their success is one of a guide’s great rewards.
My wife Erin, daughter Keeli, and son Kyle join me. They are supportive of my choice of profession and manage to get on the water with me occasionally. Erin likes to fly-fish for trout and wrestle powerful salmon. Keeli landed a 20# King Salmon at the age of four and is now learning to row and put her dad on fish. Our son Kyle loves to go fishing and collecting aquatic life. He is learning to manage a fly rod and has put salmon on the table and trout to the hand. His favorite part of fishing is releasing the catch.
The Missouri River Fly Fishers will be sponsoring a fly fishing film coming up on November 3rd at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center starting at 7:30 PM. The show is FREE to the public but only about 100 seats are available in the theatre so come early to get your seat and visit. We will be opening the doors at about 7PM. Connect Movie Trailer:
