Festival Feature Films
PREDATOR
Gin-Clear Media’s PREDATOR is the feature film of the festival. Fly fishermen have always lusted after big fish, those large predators that dominate the rivers, lakes and oceans in which they preside. PREDATOR explores the globe for the largest and most powerful fish that can be taken with a fly rod. These large predators employ all sorts of techniques to maximise their chance of catching prey. Some, like the queenfish, use pure speed to outrun and crush their prey in the surface film. Pike lay in ambush, ready to explode on their prey in the chalkstreams of England. Others, like the mighty barramundi of Australia’s north, use brute power to get a feed. Regardless of the species, a film about fishing for the world’s greatest predators is guaranteed to be a visual extravaganza.

THE ARCTIC
Beattie Outdoor Productions travelled north, way north, to fish some of the most remote areas in North America. Watch as they travel across the Arctic looking for giant char, trout, pike and more. There are plenty of addictions to get hooked on in the world of fly fishing. One of the most consuming is the obsession with the dry fly, which explains why anglers travel the globe in search of epic hatches and large trout rising on the surface. “Sipping Dry” takes you to a place many refer to as the “dry fly capital of the world”–the upper Missouri River near Craig, Montana.
