Thai One On : Full Film

Deep in the pristine jungle of northern Thailand lies the River of Reflection. Named for its crystal clear water, the river is home to the legendary Mahseer. A species first prized by British anglers in the days of the Raj for its phenomenal fight. Documentary filmmaker Travis Lowe follows three anglers as they work with local Karen villagers to protect the entire 60km length of the river.

Close-Up: A Case for the Kettle

The denizens of the Kettle River are at risk due to a myriad of threats. Thanks to the leadership of one dedicated advocate it may finally be getting the attention it deserves.

A picturesque and winding trout stream, the Kettle begins its 280 kilometre journey at Holmes Lake in the Monashee Mountains, flows though the Christian Valley to Westbridge where it is joined by the West Kettle, and ends at the Columbia River in Washington State.

The river is home to several species of fish, including wild stock (fluvial species) rainbow trout that can grow to trophy sizes in perfect conditions.

For fly-fishers who love rivers, it’s nearly as good as it gets.

Reading the Signs on the Kettle

I created a little extra content for the Okanagan Chapter of Trout Unlimited Canada's presentation of the F3T in my home town of Kelowna, BC. This is the reason I make fly fishing films, to affect change in the environs that I love. I am trying to help save the Kettle River. My river, is everyone's river.

First You Survive Bangkok – Then Comes The Jungle

Mark Hume reviews Travis Lowe's film Thai One On which debuted at the Fly Fishing Film Tour launch in Denver a few days ago.

Travis Lowe’s new film, Thai One On, isn’t like any fly fishing trip you’ve ever been on before. Unless, that is, taking part in ritual sacrifices, eating giant cockroaches and riding elephants into the seething jungle are part of your normal angling experience.

Canvasfish

He's baaaaaack!

From our brother from another mother, Travis Lowe comes this sweet video portrait of artist Derek DeYoung.

Canvasfish is intimate portrait of an artist and his work. It celebrates a small part of the culture of fly fishing while not attempting to document the pursuit of it. Filmed at Derek DeYoung’s Livingston, Montana studio, Canvasfish chronicles DeYoung’s career as he paints his way through life, a fly rod in one hand and paint brush in the other.
