Fly Fishing Film Festival

On March 19, 60 lovers of fly fishing and film met at Pop’s Art Theater in northwest Rochester for the showing a about a dozen short films on fly fishing across the world. Christie and Tom Atwell, who were in a film on a young man buying a resort in remote Labrador, spearheaded the event with Christie doing much of the work of getting the film. Paul Krolak coordinated getting all the prizes.

We had door prizes from Scheels as well as raffle items from Driftless Fly Fishing Company, Larry Haugen and Wayne Bartz. 

Films were a wide variety from catching wildly-jumping marlin in the ocean to two young men talking about life and catching small sunfish and bass in a small Kansas lake. Of course, there were plenty of shots of fish being caught, and missed.

Here are a few shots from the event:
