Some of the nation’s top film-making will be on display when the Fly Fishing Film Tour stops March 24 in Chattanooga.
The tour offers fly anglers the chance to enjoy an array of fly fishing films. The event begins at 7 p.m., although attendees typically arrive early to meet and mingle. Tickets are $15 for general entry and $35 for VIP, which includes a free beer, raffle ticket and priority seating in the first six rows. The Hatch Outfitters is located on 12th Street in downtown Chattanooga.
The Fly Fishing Film Tour is “a traveling roadshow of the best fly fishing films from passionate anglers and cinematographers around the world,” according to its promotional materials. “Through a competitive submission process, films are selected to bring great angling stories to the big screen in more than 150 locations. More than just a film tour, F3T kicks off the annual fly fishing season, celebrates new faces and places in the sport, and highlights conservation efforts.”
After the Tour
Adventure Entertainment recently announced it will acquire the tour from Outside. It premieres March 2 in Salt Lake City. Outside continues as a major sponsor and the exclusive distributor of the films via its streaming service, Outside Watch. Following the completion of in-person events, Outside Watch will air the films across its linear, CTV and web channels, which together reach 58 million viewers in North America.
“The Fly Fishing Film Tour is an iconic brand with 17 years of rich history, and we’re stoked to work with the community to build on that legacy,” said Toby Ryston-Pratt, CEO of Adventure Entertainment. “We have met many wonderful people in the industry, and we have so much respect for the roots of fly fishing and the conservation ethic that knits together the guides, outfitters, and associations. This acquisition represents a significant step forward for Adventure Entertainment that will fuel the growth of our existing film and advertising business in the USA across our suite of tours and digital assets, including the Women’s Adventure Film Tour and Kendal Mountain Tour.”
The 2023 Fly Fishing Film Tour is presented by Costa, YETI, and Simms Fishing, and it will be supported by a host of national partners along with local outfitters and independent promoters.
