February 14, 2008 By: Marshall Cutchin

“His head still pounding from too much goat-milk vodka the night before, Justin Crump makes the best of idle time waiting for his backwoods shuttle van to pick him up along the true backwaters of Mongolia. Onto massive saltwater hooks, Crump lashes foot-long strands of coarse hair trimmed off a yak’s back at a nearby village. It’s a new streamer fly the wayward anglers have concocted to pick a fight with taimen, those 40-pound, 50-year-old Mongolian trout that Crump and his band of fishing bums are after.” Mark Freeman chases the free-range videographers to Mongolia and around the states in this article about the origins of the Fly Fishing Film Tour.
