Favoured Feathers | A Fly Fishing Film

A particular debate or discussion exists that all fly fishers have experienced at some point. “If you had to choose one fly for the rest of your life, what would it be?” It is a debate that we have had many times over. It is also a debate that many others have had amongst their fellow angling friends. Our most recent discussion on the topic was different to usual, we couldn’t reach a conclusive result.

We were left with 3 fly patterns that just couldn’t be split. Restless with the lack of a definitive result, we agreed we had to put these patterns to the test in the Kosciuszko National Park. Three mates, one day, one river, each using our chosen fly, most fish per fly pattern wins. A true trial putting each fly pattern to the test in the ultimate colosseum. From here ‘Favoured Feathers’ as we affectionately christened it, was born. The winning pattern to be crowned the greatest dry fly of all time.

Join us as we suffer the tribulations, enjoy the triumphs and savour the experiences that come from an unforgettable day fishing spent with mates.
