Blood knot | Nicholas Swingle

The Shenandoah Valley lies just two hours outside of our nation's capital and offers some incredibly diverse freshwater fishing. It is hard to find mountain brook trout, spring creek rainbows and browns in such close proximity to some of the best smallmouth, carp, and musky fishing in the country. Twin brothers, Brian and Colby Trow, are natives of Virginia who took their love of fly fishing together and put it all on the line to 'live the dream' in the center of this unheralded fishing destination. More than 10 years and one nasty economic recession later, Brian and Colby understand the risks and costs of running a small business. Success comes with the price of long hours and being away from family, but it is time on the water together that keeps them connected. Selected for the 2014 Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T), the Rise Fly Fishing Film Tour (Europe), and the Rise Fly Fishing Tour (Australia/NZ). Blood Knot was also selected as the Best Film of the Year and Best Freshwater Film of the Year at the 2014 Drake Film Awards. Coming to fly shops near you in early 2015.
