July Outing Date Changed. New Outing Info
at
July Meeting Monday, July 13


We're doing something a bit different at the July meeting. we'll be screening the new film Drift, which was picked to show at the prestegious Telluride Film Festival.

Here's a review from BassPro:

A cinematic fly fishing adventure that explores the world and the individuals who dedicate their lives to the sport, ''Drift'' takes fly fishing entertainment to a new level!

A stunning visual journey, ''Drift'' combines the highest quality film production and world class fly fishing with an eclectic group of anglers to create the most definitive film about the sport to date. ''Drift'' takes viewers on a cinematic, fishing adventure across the flats of Belize and the Bahamas, down the tailwaters of the Green, Frying Pan and Big Horn, spey casting on the Deschutes and exploring the exotic rivers of Kashmir, India. Entirely filmed using 16mm film and mastered in HD, ''Drift'' looks, sounds and feels like no other fly fishing film out there. 65 minute run time.

''Drift'' features spey casters, John and Amy Hazel, celebrated photographer and legendary angler Brian O'Keefe, saltwater fanatics Ian Davis and Keith Paar, trout junkies R.A. Beattie, Adam Barker, Tommy Knight, Jordan Gage, Robert Boyce, Robert Eddins, permit specialists the Garbutt Brothers, the ''Godfather of Bone Fishing'' Charlie Smith and legendary Henry's Fork guides Travis Smith and John Steihl.
