"But most of all, Hudson and Hughen seem determined not to settle for a tone poem and tell a real story here"

In addition to getting some recent props from David James Duncan, Paste Magazine, a leading online destination for pop-culture enthusiasts, just ranked Low and Clear #1 in its list of The 20 Best Documentaries of 2012.

Wow.

Considering Paste gets about 3 million visitors a month, it's a safe bet that Low and Clear will be getting even further play and recognition beyond the confines of the fly fishing universe.
