New Zealand’s South Island has to be the closest one can get to heaven. Truly, New Zealand is my all-time favorite place to film, fish and explore. For the T-Motion Theater Issue #45, I had the chance to film angler and lodge owner Shauna Daughters, along with her husband Chris Daughters, on one of their favorite South Island rivers. Together they own and operate the South Island’s Cedar Lodge, located on the Makarora River just about an hour’s drive of […]

This film is brought to life by the sensitive and insightful cinematography of Todd Moen, whose camerawork captures the vibrancy of the natural world both […]
Read More »Summer temps hovering in the upper 90’s. Rising carp. The Missouri River. Dry fly fishing. Montana’s magnificent Big Sky. Put these together, and T-Motion Theater had an unlikely, yet absolutely remarkable fly fishing video opportunity. Carp, unlike trout or steelhead or bonefish or any for that matter, feed in a frenzy known to some anglers as the “Hour of Power”. This is when schools of carp rise to the surface in fierce unison, their big mouths breaking the surface and […]

Read More »Each July, I find myself heading back to my home state of Montana. Over the past 15 years, many of these trips have included an adventure with my good friend and master spring creek angler, Pete Corbett who is owner of Creekside Angling Company in Issaquah, Washington. We like to fish the Southwest region of the state. For this 2013 fly fishing trip, we met in Dillon, Montana. This time Pete fished some of our favorite public water, and we […]
Read More »Although it’s not my first video of southern Argentina’s crazy wind, huge trout and amazing scenery, “Barrancoso River” is probably both the most fun and the most challenging video I’ve ever shot for Catch Magazine .It was fun! This is thanks to Tim Rajeff and Katherine Hart, of Rajeff Sports, who are nothing less than rocks stars and fabulous anglers. They make it happen in hurricane-like winds and impossible fishing conditions. And they make it fun. There is no other […]
Read More »A steelhead adventure. The planning, filming, editing and entire fly fishing adventure behind “Fall Run” is, hands down, my favorite T-Motion production yet. Six years after filming “Oregon Coast Steelhead”, Jeff Hickman, Jakob Lund and I met up for another steelhead quest on camera. We decided to take our chances and hit a new river, unknown to any of us. Against all possible odds, luck landed on our side. A high rising river, torrential downpour, and slime slick rocks made […]
Read More »Stobel was filmed in the southern lakes of Argentina’s Patagonia region. As most anglers know, this geography is famous for its big wind and its big trout. We encountered both in very big doses! The combination of 60 mile per hour gusts, crashing waves, and a landscape of moon rocks (devoid of a landing pad for my aerial camera) made the filming of Strobel one of the most difficult conditions in which I have ever worked. My equipment was put […]

The mere challenge of nature’s moody elements, the cold weather as snow and rain, and the limited daylight draws only those anglers who are seeking to experience something beyond the mere fishing itself, even beyond the hooking […]

This video, Sky High Salmonflies, came together with weather perfect, bugs everywhere and with two angler/guides with a rare day off work. Elke Littleleaf and Jakob Lund get caught up in the frenzy. Amid great scenery and slashing strikes on dry flies, I experimented with some […]

Beckie is known for her outgoing personality, great sense of humor and her absolute passion for fly fishing and living life to the fullest. This made for phenomenal filming potential! There they were greeted with wet fall weather, plus wind, snow, grizzly bears and wolves. In spite of all that, […]
