Fly Fishing Video: "Drift"

March 25, 2009 By: Marshall Cutchin

This week on MidCurrent we introduce a film segment from last year’s very popular visual journey “Drift.” The DVD, directed by Chris Patterson of Warren Miller films fame, put the lens to a variety of fly fishing destinations and to the unique characters that call them home. This particular clip includes a profile of John and Amy Hazel, whose lives revolve around steelhead fishing on Oregon’s Deschutes River.
Excerpt: “The real draw is that steelhead are a fish of a thousand casts. So one’s gotta become a pretty good caster if they’re fishing for steelhead, because truly – if you average it all out – you get one steelhead to hand about every eight hours.”
