Drift

I attended the Fly Fishing Show in Denver a few months ago and what a great time that was. The show is like the Willy Wonka factory for Fly Fishermen. I spent three days wondering in and out of booths, talking to manufacturers, testing gear and seeing all the new stuff. One of the highlights of the show was the premier showing of the film Drift. It was held in a huge tent with thousands of fly fishing folks drinking free beer. Needless to say, the atmosphere was perfect. When the film started up there were wild cheers from the crowd and with every hookup it just got more insane. I was in the back and my thoughts were two fold; 1. this is the most beautiful film I have ever seen, 2. how cool is it to see this much energy at a fly fishing show. It was refreshing and hopeful to see the cool effect with a sport that is so traditional and even spiritual. Maybe that is why the film was met with such excitement, it was touching us all in our secret souls.

Amazing work on this film and my hat is off to Jim Klug and the gang who shot and produced it, bravo!!
