If you're into fly fishing there wasn't a better bang for your buck in town then spending a few hours at the Fly Fishing Film Tour in Portland Friday night. The crowd was fired up and ready for some entertainment. The F3T Boys delivered the perfect presentation.
The Bagdad Theater is a small old theater in southeast Portland which was just the right size venue to run into old friends, meet new ones, and have a couple of micro-brews while planning a someday fishing trip together. Thad Robison and Marc Crapo served as the perfect hosts and they are as genuine as you can find. These two guys love watching the crowd have a good time. After an hour of sitting on the edge of your seat watching footage of ridiculously beautiful steelhead ripping line out of frozen reels in the dead of a Midwest winter then the Metalhead crew took us to B.C. and beyond. Next they warmed us up for a ride out to fish salt as they sight fished for giant snook that just exploded out from under the protected mangroves of the Florida Everglades. It was an an evening of a plethora of piscatorial pursuits.
Many thanks should go out to all the film-makers, sponsors and volunteers that help keep this tour alive and well. What better way to spend a winters night but in the company of fly fisherman, cold beer, and endless hook-ups on film.
