The folks over at Fly Fisherman Magazine and Side Channel Productions have released a brand-new fly fishing film. This one doesn't focus on trout, but on an exotic, wonderful species - the golden dorado. Anglers are probably familiar with dorado. They're big, mean fish that you chase with giant streamers. But in the Rio Dorado, anglers chase these...

This week, the season finale of the Buffet series - from filmmaker Gilbert Rowley - went live on YouTube. The finale episode is all about one man's quest to catch a permit.
