For this 84th edition and its cornerstone T-Motion Theater, Todd Moen finally met up with longtime Catch Magazine contributing photographer Pasi Visakivi from Finland. With 15 years’ worth of various distant collaborations, Todd and Pasi were able to finally meet and work together in person with the creation of “Finnish Troutland”. As a Vision Fly Fishing pro, Pasi’s journey as an angler is deeply rooted in Finland’s rich fishing tradition, with his years of experience chasing the massive brown trout of Finland’s pristine Lake District. From skating oversized flies across rivers to exploring Finland’s breathtaking landscapes of lakes and forests, Pasi brings unmatched skill and passion to the art of fly fishing.
Taking place during the Nordic summer’s endless daylight, this film truly represents the first of Todd’s films to feature Northern European waters. He was able to capture the exciting chase that occurs between big brown trout and its prey, and this in itself shares the unique adrenaline rushing pursuit of fly fishing the Finland waters. In in addition, the film centers around a special and newly established fly fishing operation called Kellankoski Lodge, a family-run operation situated in prime angling waters near Jyvaskyla, Finland. “Finnish Troutland” is an unforgettable story of Finnish landscape, wild trout and world- class angling. Huge thanks to Pasi, Jani Himanko (and family) of Kellankoski Lodge and Vision Fly Fishing for making it all possible.
