Tue 4/8 @ 7PM
There’s a lot of fishing being done in Cleveland — just go down to the lake walk at the East 55th Street Marina virtually any day of the year, and you’ll find people of all types casting their lines. What you won’t find is fly fishing, a specialized form of fishing typically done in wilder environments such as rivers, lakes and even the ocean, as anglers cast for trout, salmon, bass and other predatory species, in both fresh and salt water.
Even if you don’t fish at all, you still might want to catch the 19th annual Fly Fishing Film tour at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, just to take in the gorgeous outdoor scenery surrounding the fisherpeople — watching people fish itself may not be terrible exciting for those who don’t do it, but soaking in views of mountains, streams and meadows is good for your blood pressure and peace of mind!
Films include include fishing for Atlantic salmon in the remote north as caribou migrate; traveling the Descutes River in central Oregon, world-renowned for its fly fishing; a journey with Captain Lacey Kelly, a Florida tarpon guide; and hunting for peacock bass and arapaima, among others, in the Guyana jungles. In addition to sport fishing, these films shed light on the diverse ecosystems around the world we need to protect.
Doors open at 6pm; the films will begin at 7pm. Food and a full bar will be available. Go here for tickets.
