He reflects on time spent with many special anglers and lodge owners over the past two decades, witnessing how relationships grow, how families evolve, and how these rivers continue to connect generations.<\/p>\n<p>This film revisits those connections, meeting back up with the Hickmans after years of shared seasons, shared stories, and pushing the limits of what authentic fly fishing films can be. Set in the Great Bear Rainforest, it\u2019s a reminder that rivers don\u2019t just move water forward; they carry legacies.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Kimsquit Bay Lodge here &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimsquitbay.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.kimsquitbay.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For early access to our next film check out Catch Magazine &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catchmagazine.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.catchmagazine.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to these companies that help support my film work.<br \/>\nR.L.
