Throwback Video of the Week: Jack Dennis Presents: World Fly Fishing Championships

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrgjY2HgyBI

This week we are throwing it WAY back to the previous millennium, a TV series from 1998 that aired on ESPN. The video starts off with some talk about the World Fly Fishing Championships. They discuss strategy and techniques for fishing in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The United States hosted the championships in 1997 as well as 2016. The second half of the video features some streamside fly tying with Jack Dennis, and ends with some results of that fly on a small spring creek.

What I love about this video is being able to see the change of fly fishing over the past 20 years, but also how much has stayed exactly the same. The techniques and motives are still the same 20 years later, showing how timeless this sport truly is.

The video of the week is selected and written by FlyLords team member Conner Grimes (@doublehaulmedia).

Hey, my name is Conner Grimes and I am on the content team at FlyLords. I grew up in Duluth, GA and then moved to Nashville for college. I really started getting into fly fishing around my sophomore year of college. Tennessee has some great tailwater trout fisheries, but my favorite species to target is smallmouth bass in unknown creeks throughout the state. My favorite thing about fly fishing is the amazing places it has taken me and I am excited to see where it will take me in the future.
