CHALK – Bedrock of Fly Fishing

(13)

From the time I was a little boy wandering the backwoods of the American west with my grandfather, watching him cast bamboo rods to wild trout, hearing his tales of the English countryside and sight fishing with “Ghillies” when he was a young man. I’ve dreamt of this film and these images. Thank you to the filmmakers for realizing this dream on film and introducing us to the guardians of the water for generations to come. Bravo!

This film is like the book you never put down, it immersed me from minute one and captures the soul of chalk stream management, truly inspiring and thought provoking, please make a part 2

Beautiful cinematography and music. Not your typical flyfishing movie. I’m ready to book a trip to England.

An absolute gem of a flyfishing film. It holds the history, the present and the future of flyfishing and just makes me want to go fishing and put my dry fly on the water. Its really exciting, informative and filled with hope for the future of these beautiful streams. What a great sport this is and what a beautiful documentary of it this is.

What a fantastic film! Well worth a watch

This is the best fly fishing movie ever! I am so glad that I have watched it!

I’ve been lucky to fish The Test and The River Itchen
and this film shows the true beauty of fishing a chalk stream..
A must for every angler

I am a French angler, fond of fly fishing and Chalk is one of the best movies about fly fishing I’ve ever seen. Everything is interesting, the colours are bright and amazingly full of nature, with a dash of English humor at the end ! This film gives me a very strong desire to go and visit the country and fly fish on those beautiful chalkstreams.

That warm feeling that when you look out on a winters day you know you’ll be back and will have forgotten the cold easterly, the blanks. the many caught trees and bank vegetation, the thrown flies, the hours trying to tie on a tiny F-fly ….. and the cost! But who cares the excitement will be back, I will have bought and tied flies and there will be that new rod ….. I really will be better equipped with a 10′ #4!

Loads of history, really instructive and great footage, well done!

This a superb film that has the right balance between the history/art of fly fishing, great video footage and good speakers; who speak passionately. Great promotion for fly fishing and as mentioned above Inspiring.

they did a nice job making this film, inspiring

This is the best film I have ever watched about fly fishing and I hope who ever produced this make more!
