The Office
The life of a fishing guide is quite tough. It's no picnic to make a living out of it anywhere in the world, and especially not in France. But when in doubt on ...

Guns and flyrods
Winter is coming, as we all know (and are kindly reminded in the northern parts of France a little more often that we care for). And there's plenty to look forw...
Carol and the waves

Drag her
There's something refreshing about this video, where Emma Brown drags a friend to some inlet spot where she wants to fish. It's not very often that we see an al...
The Wild
Best surf movie in a long while, going from Boorman's Emerald Forest to regular but top notch greasy rock surf footage. Everything is as pro as it gets, a feast...
Try the double haul

Assume you're looking for your next day pack. What are the relevant features? I know I'll take mine wherever I wander, which means, say, for a conference in Hei...
Bend it deep
You know Arctic Silver, we've talked about them already. They make rods with a very special grip, which allows the blank to flex very deep into the butt section...
The good stuff
I've got no idea how I could have missed this one...
Reports say black market dealers of highly addictive streamers are spreading through Montana. Authorities s...
All together
Sometimes it all comes together. A river and the country around. The man who fishes it, who lives by it and whose mind echoes it. A cameraman. A soundtrack. The...
Danish sea trouts
I think there's a couple of lessons to be drawn here. Let me just point three of them. (1) DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro X will give you plenty of cool effe...
We’ve got mail
Sometimes a friend takes the time to write us a letter. It's always a pleasure to read from you, but this one is really special. It's so well written I had to t...

You're fishing on the Dordogne in summer, down river from Argentat. You've waited for the afternoon heat to pass, and now the river's becoming alive. Lots of in...
Skate or die
There's a point this video will make with eloquence: glass rods are forgiving in the endgame. Precisely when operator error puts everything in jeopardy, the lin...
White glass
A nice little film. Sometimes, all you have to say is about timing and color. Interestingly, it's the same here for the film and for the rod. If your intention ...
