The Sponsors:
The Orlando Fly Fishing Film Tour is brought to you by Orlando Outfitters and Boodreaux's Boondocques and is sponsored by a wide variety of our friends in the fly fishing industry. Many of our vendors have donated products to be raffled off. We have items ranging from $50 up to just under $1000, with most tending towards the upper end of that range. Others, such as filmmaker RA Beattie, have put considerable time and effort towards making this event a success. Please look over the list of sponsors and show your support by considering their products when you make your next purchase.

- What Happens to the Money?
The proceeds of this event will be given to Bonefish & Tarpon Trust (www.tarbone.org) to help with their research and conservation efforts with two of our favorite flats species. Though tarpon and bonefish are two of the most popular game fish in Florida waters relatively little is know about their life histories.
Because they are not considered a food species in the US there is little federal effort to study them. BTT works, mainly through volunteer effort, to fill the void. As they state on their web site " . . . a species can’t be conserved or managed if little is known about the species’ biology and ecology."
