The Fish Camp team and partners all contributed to this short film, so we wanted to share. You can now watch Iconic Rises on the Frogwater Productions YouTube channel (see the link in Frogwater Productions bio).
Told from the perspective of 3rd generation Jackson Hole fly fishing guide
@bootsallen , Iconic Rises conveys the reverence the local fly fishing community has for the native Snake River Fine Spotted Cutthroat Trout and the upper Snake River fishery.
At a time when climate change, water temperatures, in-stream flows, invasive species, fishing pressure and water management are all having compounding negative effects on many of the West’s wild trout fisheries, these native cutthroat trout are in relatively healthy condition thanks to fortuitous geographical factors and passionate human efforts. This story celebrates the successful conservation and preservation work of many non-profit and government organizations, while also communicating the need to avoid complacency by proactively addressing some of the fisheries’ looming threats.
Iconic Rises was part of the 2025 Fly Fishing Film Tour (
