Thinking back over this year to the fly fishing films that I watched over and over there are three that I can fully recommend and are worth adding to your collection.
EASTERN RISES
The boys at Felt Soul Media got it right (again) with stellar content and deft editing to produce their trip to Kamchatka and share with the masses. Recently Eastern Rises won Best Film On Mountain Sports at the Banff Mountain Festival which is much deserved. Eastern Rises is worth the price of admission and at the end you'll be wanting more though there is something to be said for only getting the sharpest cuts and not dull out in the end with a film twice as long.

FISH BUM II: METALHEAD
The final chapter to the Fish Bum series is a rowdy road trip to secret and remote places in search for wild steelhead. The AEG crew chronicle another epic trip on film with the highs and lows and the big fish and the no fish days. Metalhead is great insight into exploration angling and what all it entails.

THE LOST WORLD OF MR. HARDY
This film tells the story of the heralded Hardy brand from it's start to the company's current status and is complete with interviews, vintage footage, and gives those that watch it a real understanding of it's history and the people that have made the company known worldwide. This film was masterfully put together and it's evident of the time spent developing this artful endeavor.
Besides being able to purchase a DVD of this film, it can also be viewed online for a cost of $2.99 for a 48 hour rental.
