Patagonian Silver DVD – Mountain Media Fly Fishing Productions
66 min + 37 min bonus (2011)
Rio Gallegos in Patagonia offers some of the world’s best sea trout fishing.
Using Las Buitreras Fishing Lodge as our base, we set off for an exciting adventure along the river.
We struggle to get our flies out in the wind, which sometimes reaches speeds of 100 km an hour. And when the trout takes, it feels as if time is standing still, and even the wind ceases to exist.
Leap after leap, high up into the air – the fight never seems to end.
The powerful silver fighter never gives up, leaving you with memories for life.
The flora and fauna in this arid landscape are very interesting. Along the river we experience the richness of its birdlife, as well as the curiosity of lots of other unusual animals.
We visit the majestic Perito Moreno glacier and get to know the charming Magellan penguins on the Straits of Magellan.
In the bonus material you’ll see, among other things, Claudio tying his favourite fly, get tips about fishing equipment and learn more about what Las Buitreras has to offer.
Join us in our adventure to Argentina, and meet Patagonia’s silver!

Distance and Delicacy Featuring Henrik Mortensen DVD
With the second volume in Henrik Mortensen’s Fly Fishing Academy, we present you with his fundamental approach to fly fishing, which is based upon total control of the fly. In order to demonstrate various techniques, he chose one of the most prestigious and challenging locations in the world to fish for sea trout, the famed Rio Grande of Tierra del Fuego in the southernmost part of Argentina.
Tierra del Fuego, which was once thought to be a myth at the end of the world, holds every worldrecord for sea trout caught on a fly rod. And even though the Rio Grande calls for serious distancecasting in many places and forces anglers to deal with strong winds from the Andes Mountains, Henrik still pursues and demonstrates the ultimate control of the fly. Using both single and doublehanded rods, Henrik will teach you how to take advantage of the wind – and cast and fish with confidence in spite of it.
The general strategy used for the huge sea trout is small flies fished on long leaders, but he also covers sink line tactics and fishing throughout the darker hours with larger flies. Detailed directions are given on underhand casting with floating and heavy sinking lines. Particular consideration is also given on the ability to angle the line without disturbing the water.
Even if you are not planning a trip to Tierra del Fuego, this film is still worth seeing as the strategies and techniques Henrik teaches in it can be applied everywhere you go in pursuit of the big catch.
European Nymphing a Strategic Approach Featuring Araron Jasper DVD
Tutorial Fly Fishing DVD.
Play in any regular DVD player worldwide (recommended) or CD-ROM. Run time
approx. 174 minutes In the first video of this highly touted European Nymphing
series, European Nymphing – Techniques and Fly Tying, Aaron Jasper explained
the mechanics and thought processes behind the various European Nymphing style
of fly fishing. He illustrated the mechanics and basics of the different
Nymphing rigs. In this video, European Nymphing – A Strategic Approach, the
second in Aaron’s European Nymphing series, Aaron shows you how to apply all
the fly fishing techniques learned in the first video. Through ten unique
scenarios and conditions, Aaron shows you how to approach the water, target the
fish, and bring the fish to net. All the scenarios were filmed on water
accessible to any member of the public, and none of the scenarios were
“set ups.” We waited for the scenarios we wanted to address to arise
on the river and then took you the viewer to them. After viewing this video you
will understand how to use the various methods of czech nymphing, polish
nymphing, french nymphing, and spanish nymphing to target fish in almost any
set of conditions. With over an hour and a half of fly tying, leader formulas,
graphics, classroom and on stream instruction, this video is sure to
exponentially increase your catch rates. This video was filmed and edited in
stunning full 1080p.
European Nymphing Techniques & Fly Tying DVD
Shot and edited in stunning High Definition. European Nymphing Techniques and Fly Tying with Aaron Jasper is an instructional video that is the culmination of over three years of research, practical testing, and instruction both on the stream and in the classroom. Full of tips and techniques that you can’t find anywhere else. “Some years ago during a World International Fly Fishing event, the Polish team won the event by fishing a technique that was known to few others. In subsequent years both the French and the Czech teams have further won these major world class events with what most now understand as European fly fishing techniques: basically close range fishing with a team of flies representing invertebrate aquatic forms of life found close to the stream bed. For many these techniques have been a mystery and hardly understood. The written word will only go so far as to create interest and some basic knowledge. The practical aspects of these techniques require an on-stream scenario and visual explanation for a fundamental understanding from which the fly fisher can further his skills. This DVD has done just that. This video explains everything from the basic level of understanding how the systems work, to the importance of the rig, understanding the concepts of stream drift versus fly control, and advanced techniques: its all here. Aaron has done a fine job, and in my opinion has produced the Bible for those of you who wish to master the techniques of Polish, Czech, French and Spanish style nymphing. .”Chapters Include: -Czech/Polish style- introduction, casting and leading the flies. -French/ Spanish style- introduction, the sighter, casting, hand twist retrieve, leading the flies, high and low rod angles, upstream, up and across. -Leader setups and knot tying. -Fly tying- anchor flies: Dronestone, Polish Woven/ dropper flies: Triple Threat, Blue Winged Olive. Total Running Time: 2 Hrs. NTSC 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen.
High Sticking & Reading Water with Kelly Galloup DVD
Graphic demonstrations of high stick nymphing with detailed lessons on reading water are the heart of this 90 minute instructional video. Kelly shows you numerous ways to become a better nymph angler, including high sticking, where your fly line is kept off the water to insure a good drift. Along with a host of close-up angling sessions the production is filled with graphic illustrations that teach you how to read water. In this condensed look at five days on the river with Kelly you learn where to fish and how to be a better nymph angler.
Kelly Galloup is a great instructor, and in the video he dissects the river and clearly explains where and how to fish a variety of water types. Learn both tight-line and indicator tactics; discover where and when to fish each type of angling system.
You’ll see some nice fish along the way but more importantly you’ll discover how to nymph fish with a high rod. As Kelly says, “It’s all about a good drift”, and this is an essential form of presentation for doing just that.
Fly Placement is critical in your nymphing system and Kelly takes the time to explain where to place what type of fly on your leader. He looks in detail at midges, mayflies, caddis flies and attractor patterns.
Drift – The Movie DVD
Photographed entirely on 16mm & 35mm film, the breathtaking imagery of DRIFT will be captivating with incredibly vivid color, contrast and depth, qualities that are only available in the film format. DRIFT will look and feel lush and beautiful, each segment highlighted with hypnotic, slow motion images of casting, moving water, and underwater action. Deep, soulful interviews with select “legends of the sport” and others who have shaped the sport, will resonate with a musical score that features the sounds of Jack Johnson’s Brushfire recording artists. This deep rooted passion for the sport will be conveyed by these devoted (and sometimes eclectic) characters that have immersed themselves in the sport and the lifestyle of fly fishing. The fact that each segment tells a completely unique story and focuses on different characters and anglers is one of the many things that sets this project apart from other film and video releases of recent years.
Rise – The Movie DVD

In 2009, riding on the success of DRIFT, director/cinematographer Chris Patterson of Warren Miller Entertainment and executive producer Jim Klug once again set out in search of new locations and the totally unique stories, characters and species that epitomize the spirit and soul of flyfishing.
This new film is RISE – a collection of individual stories shot around the world; stories that together truly reflect the attraction that flyfishing has for all of us. Shot on location in the Florida Keys, Argentina, Idaho, New Orleans, Venezuela, and Alaska. RISE is a stunning feature-length film, photographed entirely on 16mm film and mastered in HD.
Connect: A Confluence Films Production The Movie DVD

Shot on location in Japan, Yellowstone National Park, the Yukon Drainage of Alaska, the flats of Cuba, the coast of Maine, and in the wilds of Tanzania, Africa, this feature-length movie will once again transport viewers around the world in search of new waters and exhilarating travel experiences. CONNECT features well-known anglers Greg Vincent, Jeff Currier, Jimmy Bartschi, Craig Mathews, Masa Katsumata, Brian Porter, and Captain Eric Wallace, and more than a dozen different fish species, both freshwater and saltwater.
As with DRIFT and RISE before, the cinematography, sound, and feel of CONNECT come together in a visual masterpiece that promises to re-set the bar for fly fishing films.

As a legendary split-cane fly rod craftsman and author of the art’s seminal study (A Masters Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod, with Everett Garrison), these far-off lands have fuelled Hoagy’s dreams for over 40 years.
While in China we follow the hands of a bamboo importer who travels to a remote Chinese village to individually sort through thousands of bamboo poles. He is looking for poles perfectly suited for bamboo rod makers around the world.
In Montana, we see master-builder Glenn Brackett tap into “the power of unseen hands” in his shop, while converting this hardy piece of grass into a fly rod. The result is an instrument so revered for its strength, precision and beauty one wonders if trout feel lucky when caught and released by one of Glenn’s rods.
