With that.WorldANGLING gives you High In The Lowlands! Now, maybe the critics won't agree, but, I bet, for those that fish, they'll get it. Fishing is what gives us that rush, that high, if you will, and for whatever reason, it's what we've devoted our lives to doing. What we were trying to get at is that we love to fish, we get our stoke from fishing and that everyone else has there own reason. Really, the only thing that is of real importance is that we like to fish, that fishing is exciting, and that we just want to do more! You've never laughed so hard, cried at yourself with the understanding that nothing that you want to say is good, and that nobody cares. therein lies the truth, and once you come to realize it, it's hysterical. So there we were, realizing for the first time, that we completely and utterly sucked! Everything we said was basically garbage! But.
#Fly fishing for redfish movie
a procession of flats boats headed south into the Everglades to camp and fish for a week, and with any luck, make movie magic on the sands of Turkey Key.įast forward two weeks, Dave and I are in the editing Studio we call the Rathole, hanging with Nate Augustus and the Gladezmen () watching them create the soundtrack and looking over our masterpiece.Every film maker has at one point had to come to terms with seeing themselves on camera for the first time and it is a very, very painful process. Really, all we had was 2 broken cameras, a skiff that lent to us, a couple of fly rods, and a bunch of our best friends that were always down for an adventure. We didn't have Pixar or Industrial Light and Magic to digitally enhance our snook. I wasn't Peter Matthiessen, and Dave wasn't Spielburg. Problem was, we were two dudes and a laptop, and neither one of us could even come close to saying all that, much less shoot it, edit it and deliver it in one month. At the end, we would close with a glorious aerial shot and a narrative that summarized 1,000 years of history, the deepest meaning of fishing and the symbolism behind our adventure deep into the soul of the Shadow Country. The Discovery Channel would be envious, and National Geographic would weep, and our critics would be silenced. We would paint our picture with every detail and ultimately transcend the human drama and reveal the Zen of flyfishing. We wanted to use words like narrow creek system, jagged branches, nooks and crannies, hidden shadows, gator filled swamps, mosquito infested lagoons, and labyrinth mangrove mazes. and we really wanted to make the connection, to equate ourselves and fly fishing with them. We wanted to talk about Robber Barons, drug smugglers and fisher folk, the birth of saltwater angling in the Everglades. We wanted to tell a rich and complex story about the Everglades history, the Indians, the animals that live there, especially the fish, and why we were there. Dave and I wanted to make a story about something meaningful, something bold and powerful, something that really drove to the core of what fly fishing is for us. the ultimate story about the Everglades to find inspiration. So, I began reading Peter Matthiessen's Shadow Country. If we wanted to be part of the Fly Fishing Film Tour and call ourselves film makers, we'd have to create an actual film with an actual story. So, we tried harder than we've ever tried at anything to make films that showed how much fun you can have with a fly rod living the life of a saltwater fish bum.Īfter a while though, we knew we'd have to grow up.
#Fly fishing for redfish how to
Dave and I didn't go to school for film, we barely knew how to run a camera when we started, but we were tired of the same old crap that failed to communicate what fishing was really about to us. Great! Everybody has to start somewhere and lots of folks in Hollywood began in the porn industry. Needless to say, it got lots of anglers out there fired up, and it was a blast to create! But then there were the nay-sayers, the grumps that didn't like what we were doing to their sport, didn't like the attitude, and called our films porn. The final result was a high action, high intensity, visual montage with hard hitting music to convey the emotion. Our goal was to make the audience feel what we feel every time we head out on the flats. In the past, Dave and I tried hard to get people excited about fly fishing.
