Today’s “Monday Movie” offering comes from the Deschutes River in Oregon.
Produced by award-winning Spirit River Studios, this film featuring members of the Salmonfly Syndicate group shows that things come in BIG packages out West.
BIG water – as in the Deschutes.
BIG bugs – as in the Pteronarcys californica, a.k.a. the Salmon Fly.
And BIG ‘bows – as in the beautiful rainbow trout that live all year for the annual salmon fly hatch smackdown on the ‘Chutes.
All in all, a totally cool “Monday Movie” offering for the heat of late summer.
So sit back, chill out, and enjoy a cold beverage.
And as one of the anglers says late in this piece, “Oh yeah!”
As in “Oh yeah!,” pay extra close attention to the action around the 2:50 mark of this short flick.
