Every fly fisher has an origin story that describes how they became obsessed with flinging fur and feathers for trout or some other species. Here’s a great film by Dan Shetron about Sydney Cortright’s journey, which began with a father she lost early in life. It’s a touching story about building on legacy and how discovering your own passion can affect your outlook on life.
Sydney is an amazing fly fisher who has built a community of the next generation of fly fishing in Los Angeles. This feature is a perfect depiction of who she is and her passion for fishing and teaching others about it. We’re proud of her.
Sydney is so special and this video captures it. I can’t help but cry while watching. Great film on a great topic.
