Sam Wike
The Missouri River Fly Fishers will be sponsoring a fly fishing film coming up on November 3rd at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center starting at 7:30 PM. The show is FREE to the public but only about 100 seats are available in the theatre so come early to get your seat and visit. We will be opening the doors at about 7PM. 
About the Film: “Connect” A Confluence Films Production
 
FROM THE MAKERS OF “DRIFT” AND “RISE”
From Chris Patterson and Jim Klug – the filmmakers who created the highly acclaimed movies DRIFT and RISE – comes CONNECT, the most ambitious, large-scale fly fishing film ever made. Continuing in the tradition of the multi-segment, multi-story format that Confluence Films has become known for, CONNECT introduces a number of new locations, exotic species, and compelling characters that epitomize and exemplify the sport of fly fishing.
Shot on location in Japan, Yellowstone National Park, the Yukon Drainage of Alaska, the flats of Cuba, the coast of Maine, and in the wilds of Tanzania, Africa, this feature-length movie will once again transport viewers around the world in search of new waters and exhilarating travel experiences. CONNECT features well-known anglers Greg Vincent, Jeff Currier, Jimmy Bartschi, Craig Mathews, Masa Katsumata, Brian Porter, and Captain Eric Wallace, and more than a dozen different fish species, both freshwater and saltwater. As with DRIFT and RISE before, the cinematography, sound, and feel of CONNECT come together in a visual masterpiece that promises to re-set the bar for fly fishing films.

During the intermission, Mark Ozog will be presenting a new project that the MRF members are working on bringing to the Great Falls community at West Bank Park. The project is a casting park, or actually a fly casting course modeled after golf. The MRF is working with the city to start with a “6 hole” fly casting course. The course is modeled after the Orvis endorsed casting course in Bend, Oregon (more info here). Any donations received during or after the film will go directly towards this project and much appreciated. The MRF has been working with the city to create a fun feature to add to our city parks, as well as develop a Great Falls fly fishing community.
