projects for golden trout and other finny friends. By practicing catch and release, he’s
helped educate thousands of trout, salmon, and bone fish.

HOOKED on the Fly’s goal is to present you with world-class, fly-fishing films. Fly-fishing brings us into nature’s meditative majesty as well as its excitement. It renews our souls by remembering our rivers past, while celebrating our present and future course, especially with family and friends. Fly-fishing connects us to ourselves, our earth, and each other. This is our mission. “I went into the woods, because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” -- Walden, Henry David Thoreau
