I first saw a fly fisherman at Bennett Springs, Mo when I was 14. I asked my father what kind of “bait” he was using. (Remembering the stinky shrimp and chicken livers we used to fish for cat fish back in Iowa). I asked if they were stinky. My Father laughed and said, ” No, They are artificial.” The grace of the fly fisherman as he cast the dry fly into the waters below a small water fall was a picture of beauty. Suddenly a scrappy 14 inch rainbow slammed the fly and … Read the rest here First Trout I was hooked and knew one day I would be a fly fisherman too. Have been since 1969.

Dear Fellow Fly Fishing Blogger,
Our team behind the creation of Dry Fly Media (www.dryflymedia.com) would love to get your opinion on a very interesting DVD series we’ve just produced – our Rivers in Motion series. Some of us involved in this project also run a fly fishing blog from Bozeman – Best Fly Fishing Yellowstone.
The Rivers in Motion DVDs are collections of river scenes from five of the iconic rivers of southwest Montana and Idaho – the Madison, Yellowstone, Henry’s Fork, Gallatin, and Missouri. There are from 10 to 12 river scenes on each DVD, and the total footage runs from 77 to 86 minutes. The rivers themselves and the surrounding vistas are the “stars of the show”; these are not about fly fishermen fishing – but about the sights and sounds of the rivers.
We’ve been amazed at how our friends here in Bozeman have been using the DVDs – besides relaxing at home after a work day in the real world; they’re playing them at work, at school, during dinner, and while getting together with friends. One friend even plays them while traveling and judges the length of flights by how many rivers he can relax to now.
We would very much like to send you a free DVD from our Rivers in Motion series and see what you think. Please email Jess at jess@dryflymedia.com with your mailing address and a choice of one of the five rivers, and we’ll get the DVD out quickly.
We have greatly enjoyed being a part of the fly fishing blog-o-sphere for the past 18 months, and have finally realized we have been sadly remiss in one important matter: a blogroll. We are in the midst of adding a blogroll to the Best Fly Fishing Yellowstone and Dry Fly Media sites – we’d love to put a link up to your site if that’s OK with you.
Many thanks,
The Dry Fly Media Team
