Winter has just about run its course for the Grand Valley, which means the local ponds will warm to the point where anglers can find at least a little flatwater angling to fight off cabin fever.
But until the numerous layers of ice and snow eventually melt from the Gunnison, Fryingpan, Roaring Fork and any other stream you might be dreaming of in late February, the best short-term bet for cabin fever reliever might be the 2008 Fly Fishing Film Tour that lands at the Avalon Theater on March 13.
The tour is brought to us by Merlin, Ore.-based AEG Media, The Angling Exploration Group, which describes itself as a production company “specializing in adventure fly-fishing entertainment.” Among the current offerings are videos from Mongolia, Argentina, Bahamas and Christmas Island.
“We spent 62 days in Mongolia, getting our butts kicked trying to find the elusive taiman, which are close to being endangered,” said Thad Robison, one of the “Fish Bums” that make up AEG Media. “We didn’t take the conservation spin but it’s mainly an adventure documentary, a video journal of four guys in the middle of nowhere, struggling with the weather, transportation, eating strange foods and getting sick.”
The tour this year features eight short videos ranging from 10 to 20 minutes long, all made by small teams of anglers and independent videographers.
