Salmon Run
The Mizrahi Brothers are working on a documentary and have released a 5 minute piece for review. This teaser focuses on Pulaski, NY which is a place that I spent some formative years fishing in for salmon and steelhead on the fly. Pulaski lies between the eastern shore of Lake Ontario and the Tug Hill region. Some of the challenges of this rugged area include some slippery wading rivers, fluctuating flows, hard fighting fish and occasional crowds. The camera used for this work is the Sony NEX-VG10. From the look of this short film, I'd have to say that it's a very nice piece of equipment in the hands of some passionate, talented enthusiasts. There are some cool long exposure segments in the film combined with authentic angling sequences and a complimentary acoustic soundtrack. It has a very natural feel about it that I think you'll enjoy, especially if you're familiar with the Great Lakes tributary scene. Have a look and I'll keep you posted when the full length version is complete.

Building models
Some saltwater fly tying is akin to building models. These types of flies involve synthetic materials, eye components and a host of adhesives (like Clear Cure Goo). Here's a video demonstrating the tying basics of what Bob Popovics dubbed "Surf Candies" about 20 years ago. It also shows how some of todays bonding agents set very quickly with the use of light which eliminates the problems of trying to work with longer setting epoxies. What next?
