The International Fly-Fishing Film Festival

The International Fly Fishing Film Festival – 2025 Tour hosted by the National Conservation Training Center

The International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4) —and the National Conservation Training Center is proud to host a special screening as part of its 2025 lineup. IF4 is the world’s premier fly-fishing film event, featuring a curated selection of the finest fly-fishing films from professional filmmakers around the globe. These films celebrate the passion, lifestyle, and culture of fly fishing—offering unforgettable stories, breathtaking visuals, and a sense of community that brings anglers together. It’s a gathering place for fly-fishing enthusiasts and a celebration of adventure, friendship, and the pursuit of the perfect cast.

Check out teasers for a few of the films we may be screening:

Native Range: Three anglers (and a dog!) trek across the wild expanses of Utah, chasing native cutthroat trout—only to discover that the real treasure isn’t the trophy, but the inner adventure hidden in unexpected places

Fishing Diaries: Follow Helmut Zaderer into the crystalline flats of the Seychelles as he battles giant trevallies in explosive, heart-pounding captures. Stunning visuals, unforgettable moments—this is fly-fishing at its most epic

Silent Spotter: Meet Tommy Batun, a deaf and mute fly-fishing guide in Mexico who finds his voice without speaking a word. A moving and remarkable portrait of heroism through silence

Time Will Tell: Paul Puckett’s inspiring journey from a teenage dreamer to influential artist and fly-fishing icon—a powerful testament to perseverance, creativity, and the passage of time

Above the Clouds: Five friends venture into Colorado’s alpine wilderness to test a revolutionary AI tool—documenting the first inland cutthroat trout and uncovering deeper reflections on nature’s fragility

Free and open to the public – No tickets or reservations required. All are welcome!
