the mini-series that changed how we see tarpon fishing.
The cult classic mini-series is now one movie. The fish that sparked obsessions and changed lives swims on.
The award-winning series landed in the IGFA Hall of Fame Theater and now your living room or man cave.
From the early hand lines of A.W. Dimock in the 1880’s to the fly rods and flats skiffs of today’s greatest tarpon fisherman. Chasing Silver follows those who have devoted their lives to chasing the mysterious tarpon. They share the oral history of the sport, and personal techniques used to convince trophy tarpon to eat a fly.
From Islamorada, Florida down to the Lower Keys, we hitch our ride on the bow with 5-time Gold Cup champ Andy Mill at his most candid, as well as a host of Florida Keys’ gurus and guides including Tom Rowland and Tim Hoover. Follow a fish that has seduced men since the dawn of fishing, and yet still remains a mystery as most disappear from Florida flats each year to breed, migrate and winter in preferred climes.
Share the thrill (and the absurdity) of convincing a tarpon to eat a tiny fly, the impossibility of getting one to stay on, and secrets for bringing the silver missiles to the boat (in a time thought to be impossible on a fly rod 20 years ago). We hope we can ensure the rare and fragile ecosystems of Florida continue to host the ultimate game fish in a thriving environment…forever.
