Fly Fishing Film Tour 2026

Synopsis

The RISE Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) returns to New Zealand in 2026 with a brand-new lineup of the world’s best fly fishing films, bringing fly fishing culture, storytelling, and community to the big screen.

More than a fishing film, F3T explores the culture that surrounds life on the water. Spanning remote wilderness locations and familiar local fisheries, the films reflect the many ways people connect to fly fishing, whether through exploration, tradition, or the simple pull of being outdoors.

From saltwater flats to alpine rivers and backcountry streams, the 2026 program showcases a diverse mix of stories from around the globe. Featuring passionate anglers, unique characters, and unforgettable landscapes, each film captures the essence of fly fishing as more than a sport. It is a way of life shaped by people, place, and experience.

Each screening is more than just a film night. Events are hosted in collaboration with local fishing communities and bring together anglers, storytellers, and outdoor enthusiasts for a shared experience.
