Fly Fishing Film Tour coming to WYO Theater Feb. 26, proceeds benefit SCLT

February 24, 2022

The Sheridan Community Land Trust is asking folks to help local waters by attending the Fly Fishing Film Tour at the WYO Theater on Saturday, Feb. 26. 

Sponsored locally by Angling Destinations, Fly Shop of the Big Horns and Little Big Horn Trout Unlimited, the 2022 Fly Fishing Film Tour is a selection of films that are intended to get anglers excited to chase tails in the season ahead. 

This year features locations including Costa Rica, Maryland, Belize, Louisiana, Alabama, Australia, Colombia and more. Those in attendance can expect to see a cicada hatch in action, follow a spear fisherman across the endless atolls of Belize, watch as a mother passes her passion for fishing down to the next generation, and explore the history of the tarpon fisheries of Casa Mar.

While the films take viewers around the globe, the tour’s organizers are focused on creating a local connection as proceeds will be donated to the Sheridan Community Land Trust. 

“With the Winter Rodeo canceled, due to a lack of snow, drought resilience is as important as ever. That’s why SCLT is hosting a Big Sky Watershed Corps member who will create a community-driven approach that helps Sheridan County better weather drought on the ranch, around the homestead and in the house,” SCLT Executive Director Brad Bauer said.

There will be raffle items and door prizes, including a guided fishing trip with Rock Creek Anglers, a rod and reel combo from Orvis, and a Patagonia sling pack along with door prizes from Simms, Yeti, Costa and more. 

The Fly Fishing Film Tour will be held on Saturday, Feb. 26 at the WYO Theater in Sheridan. Doors open at 5 p.m. Films begin at 5:45 p.m. 

Tickets: $15 advance, $20 at the door. Tickets are available for purchase at Fly Shop of the Bighorns, the WYO Theater or online here.
