In this Fulling Mill original documentary series we follow Signature Tyer Howard Croston for 9 months as he prepares for and fishes in the 2024 World Fly Fishing Championships in France. We start with his life at home, preparation and team practice, then follow him to France. There, we cover every moment of the event. The World Fly Fishing Championships is the premier fly fishing competition of the calendar year. It brings the best anglers from around the world together for 5 days of intense fishing. It is a game of fine margins, and historically it has been responsible for many of the innovations in fly fishing that most anglers take for granted today. This is a six part series.
