DESCRIPTION
What began as a fishing film about the pursuit of a world record
Bonefish on a fly rod, ended up a document for the preservation
of a fishing culture and the ecosystem that created it.
The Bonefish Culture of Andros Island, Bahamas has not been
experienced directly from a native Bahamians point of
view -- until now. Filmmaker Jamie Howard does this by hitching
a ride on a boat bow, setting up impromptu interviews on lobster
crates, and driving the roads of the Bahamas least explored
island.
The driving force of the story is the fishing reunion of two
of the best guides in the world, Andy Smith and Charlie Neymour.
It is a fishing trip for them that had not occurred since childhood.
As the duo pole deeper into the flats, the film digs (often
in wry Bahamian style) into the native fishermans clandestine
world. With the saltwater flats as the backdrop, Howard seeks
to find the things that shaped their hearts and minds for the
challenge of catching the lightning fast Bonefish with a fly
rod. He also discovers how such a skill was passed from one
generation to the next (despite the encroachment of an increasingly
modern world).
