On Friday, February 28th, 2014, the evening prior to opening day of the early Catch and Release trout season, the f3t Fly Fishing Film Tour is coming to River Falls Wisconsin. Yes, this is the Mack Daddy of all fly fishing film tours.
When I learned that a group of high rollin, super savvy, local fly fishin fanatics put up their greenbacks to bring this event to town, I was ecstatic. For the benefit of all who fly fish the northern end of the Driftless Area this should be a great “addition to the tradition”(did I just coin a phrase?) to Opening Day. The films will be shown on the University of Wisconsin River Falls Campus. Proceeds from the event will be used by the Kinnickinnic River Land Trust to continue their efforts to conserve and protect this awesome watershed. Rush River Brewery is on board, and will be providing their fine craft brewed products for your enjoyment. How cool is conservation, college and craft beer, it don’t get much better than that! Updates on tickets, sponsorships, receptions, prizes, and guys with bad stocking caps will keep rolling in, so stay tuned. This special evening is about your community and ours. Make sure you put this date on your calender now . Hotels and B&B’s will book up fast, so if you’re planning on staying the night and fishing the opener, make those arrangements now.
Join the Goat Herd for this one, sheep and other ruminants will not be admitted. Bahhhh

I think they do. I will try and get some helpful links up in the next day or two.
Andy, Your dry (fly) sense of humor and poetic rhythm is always a good lift to the spirit – on the river and during the sleepy sub-zero season. Thanks for keeping us alert to the coming of film tour @UWRF. Greg G.
Rhythm?
Greg, I am Caucasian. I understand that is extremely rare for us to fully understand this concept but thank you for lifting my spirit today.
Here is a link to the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NISTIC9_dY&list=PLTja3jowIdSc4VaLJxbS5Ocrm256FRSpO
