False Albacores

 "AR Beattie is indeed one of the best fly fishing video photographers out there, producing nicely varied scenes, which are beautifully built up giving the audience a perfect view of a scene." - Martin Joergensen, The Global Flyfisher

 

 

"When all is said and done, nothing comes close to catching false albacore on a fly. That is, unless it's catching more false albacore on fly!" - Ron Brooks, About Saltwater Fishing

 

"False Albacore, also known as Little Tunny and Fat Alberts, are brutally strong light tackle fish which have broken plenty of tackle, lines, and even perhaps a few hearts along the way." - Larry's Tackle Shop, Martha's Vineyard

 

"Sought after as a sport fish due to its line stripping 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) runs and hard fighting ability when hooked" - Wikipedia

 



 

"Steehead Dreams"

 

Steelhead Dreams

"The imagery in Steelhead Dreams is beautiful as always but what I really like is the fact that it's what someone once referred to as "a good story well told"." - The Weekly Fly Blog

 

"Todd Moen's fly fishing for steelhead films have created a buzz recently." - The Venturing Angler Blog

 

"Todd Moen films and edits the most creative, action packed and stunningly beautiful fly fishing videos in the world." - Fly Fisher Girl
