The Kodiak Project Trailer
Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 12:03AM Conway Bowman, Kirk Deeter and Chris Santella head up to Kodiak Island, Alaska to fish a legendary river that's a bit like a unicorn -- everyone has heard about it, but no one seems to have seen it, been there or fished its shallow waters. Along with local guide, Trent Deeter, the crew embarks on one of the most epic and prolific steelhead fishing trips of their lives.

Packaging an experience? If these industry tools had a shred of integrity, their "packaged" and "soon to be released" expose would never have been even the faintest glimmer of an idea. How overhyped and against-the-real-spirit-of-steelheading can you get. It is sad to see before my eyes that steelhead "culture" has come to this.
Dude, this is the most epic, super-secret, pristine, un-touched wilderness steelhead experience you can buy! Brilliant.
Yeah and their using pinned eggs too hahaha not that I really care but just thought it was funny that they were talking about swinging and purity and then wallah a pinny bead shows up.
Dan, how about you upload a trailer of the movie you made about steelheading? I'm sure it is oozing integrity and culture. Your movie, no doubt, epitomizes the real-spirit-of-steeleaheading. Until you front up with the video, how about you shut the fuck up? Just a thought.
5 rod tubes and 1 shotgun. Nice.
here's a tip, don't use the word "epic".
Someone should tatto "DICK" on they're foreheads when they sleep,
It should be legal to hunt these people!
Getting more and more alienated by this fly fishing life style video fad.
Some tools on a booze-infused trip decked out in sponsored Simms and Patagucci. Ripping lips and raping serene places and animals of their integrity. What a sell-out.
Jeebus, looks like the curmudgeons that comment on the local newspaper's website here.
I'm just thinking- "maybe I don't need to go to Kamchatka..."
This is nothing but marketing steelhead fishing in KODIAK. Good for the guide service, but bad for the locals. No secret spots in this day and age.
THE GUY HITTING A GOLF BALL WITH A DRIVER IS THE SAME GUY WITH A ANTI PEBBLE MINE STICKER. WTF?
I want to view this on a short film.
* amazing places
* someone getting hurt or injured at some point
* no super chomo dude model shoots to aide in gear sales... its forbiden.
*I don't mind someone narrating the story.
* fish feeding
* hooking up fish
* some music at the end is a good idea.
* DONT MENTION WHERE IT'S AT KEEP THE SECRET A SECRET..
Please add on:
settle down haters.
posers. Trent Deeter, lives in Bozeman, MT. He guides without a license, and steals trips from all of us hard working guides without paying a dime for the privilege. He is everything wrong with the fishing industry. This comes with a penalty of no fishing or hunting rights for 5 years or more. ignore this film.
That was fucking dumb. Conway Bowman needs to stop stroking his ego. More specifically, he needs to stay the fuck out of videos. Everyone wants to be in the next big fly fishing movies and all it does is wreck waters. The other 3 are morons too. WIsh I could reach through the video and slap them all.
Land of the giants hahahahaha.........Every real steelheader across the world is laughing at this movie........FAR from impressive........C.B. needs to stick with Blue Sharks.......and if what mt says is true F this Deeter guy too..........Im embarrassed for these guys......whata joke...... these guys are the laughing stock of the steelhead community!!!
After seeing Metal Head this is a pathetic attempt at a steelhead video. I was happy to see that Patagonia, Simms, Sage, Yellow Dog, and other reputable companies did not sponsor this plastic, faceless, mess.
Another im super cool! because I fly fish movie, has some good footage though not great characters. If that deeter guy really guides without a license you should call him out to his face not be a bitch on the internet and act like a fucking 6 year old MT, just saying.
Can someone please calmly explain to me what is wrong with this video? It looks great to me. Great scenery, great fishing, very well done video. What's the problem? Sure, they may be "exploiting" a fishery but I don't here complaints when there is a video of how amazing the permit fishing in belize is. I'm sure that was a big secret at some point too.
he has been confronted, like an adult, just thought everyone else should know that they are supporting poaching and other immoral acts that harm the fishing industry with the purchase of the film. As for you, i don't know who or where you are so i sure as hell cant tell you that you're a bitch and should stay out of matters that you know nothing about behind the protection of your computer.
oh the guy illegally guides?
return to hating then preferably with some tar and some feathers.
Hey MT. I checked Trent Deeter’s record. He’s been a Guide lic. holder in AK since 2001 and held a Montana lic. over the last few years. I’m not saying you have to like the guy but post your name if you’re going to accuse him of illegal guiding and poaching and let him respond. Because from where I sit “behind the protection of (my) computer” so you sit. And by the way if you’re a guide and think this Trent Deeter guy is “everything wrong with the fishing industry” we’re fucked.
he personally told me that he didn't guide with a license. When i asked who he gets his trips from, he said he does not go through an outfitter because he wants to keep the money himself. so, he is either a liar, or guiding illegally. either way, piece of shit.
I've fished and drank with Trent Deeter. He’s got an unfiltered mouth that says what he thinks. He loves F**KING with people and he sometimes drinks too much, like alot of us. When it comes to fishing though, for a Nebraska Kid he gets after it. He swings flies for steelies and when he can’t catch ‘em he turns to the dark side of steelheading like most Alaska guides do. To the Bead. Being a die hard Steelheader myself, I would rather shoot my own beloved dog than use a bead. But last I checked people weren’t asking me permission to use bait or treble hooks or for my strong beliefs in how Steelheading should be accomplished. So to the advantage of Steelhead themselves, we have to accept sportsman that follow the law and last I checked Trent Deeter has NEVER illegally guided and more importantly, Trent always handles and treats the Steelhead he catches with more respect than many so called traditional fly swingers that are so quick to divide sportsman with their smug, arrogant and unfriendly attitudes.
My one gripe is who let Conway Bowman in. He’s as bad as the George Anderson show.
I love this blog! Its got the best quotes and comments and some of the worst attitudes. The posts should have a "I'm sober now" reply area so that you have some sort of way out after making some over emotional, not-thought-out post. Maybe even a little USB device that can measure and report your BAC while you're posting. I swear some posters are getting paid to make the rest of us feel much more intelligent than our friends and family know us to be. Thanks MC! You're the best!
