Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) Canada

I've always enjoyed and been excited by films that focus on the outdoors ever since I saw the epic looking and sounding movies produced by the likes of Brain Farm and Warren Miller.  The latter being the same producers who originally brought to us the Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) in the U.S. So when the opportunity to get involved with the F3T in Canada arose, I immediately took it and was looking forward to seeing how we could help it grow and get even more people to experience it.
Part of my travel lately has been organized around the various Fly Fishing Film Tour Canadian tour dates. I’ll be hosting the Chilliwack, British Columbia show this Saturday and then the Campbellville, Ontario show the following weekend. Both the west and east coast are filled with enthusiastic anglers so I’m always happy to get to visit with a great group of these people. I also LOVE watching people’s reactions to the films because they never seem to fail to inspire anyone who sees them - from the avid hardcore fly fisher to the casual/beginner angler or weekend warrior. In fact, when we hosted a show back in June, I even witnessed a few of my girlfriends who don’t fish at all, want to get out on the water after taking in the films!

This past year has been a really fun year for the tour. We’ve had the opportunity to connect with everyone from British Columbia to Alberta to Ontario. My favourite parts of working with the tour so far has been seeing people’s reactions to the (12) short films and hearing about people’s fishing stories and travels before and after the films, usually over a delicious beverage! I also love giving out our sponsors' swag because it lights up the room with a bunch of adult smiles. It’s been a really great year of inspiring fishing films, travel and camaraderie and I’m looking forward to doing it all again next year.
For those that are in lower mainland BC and south western ON, come join us tomorrow and next weekend! And for everyone else, stay tuned for dates in 2016.
