There is a thread in the general section and another in the events section of the forum about the showing of ‘Kiss the Water’ to Aid Lehigh Valley Streamside Habitat.
I never heard of this movie and decided to check it out. It's about a Scottish woman, Megan Boyd, who devoted her life to tying salmon flies. There is no Wiki article on her but I did find her obit in the NY Times. She died in 2001. Here's the obit:
Megan Boyd, Eccentric Master of Fish Flies, Dies at 86
Here's a trailer for the movie "Kiss the Water"
Kiss the Water -- Trailer from Eric Steel on Vimeo.
Movie description: "In a cottage in northern Scotland, Megan Boyd twirled bits of feather, fur, silver and gold into elaborate fishing flies - at once miniature works of art and absolutely lethal. Wherever men and women cast their lines for the mighty Atlantic salmon, her name is whispered in mythic reverence, and stories about her surface and swirl like fairy tales. With breathtaking cinematography and expressive, hand painted animation, KISS THE WATER adheres to and escapes from traditional documentary form, spinning the facts and fictions of one woman life into a stunning film about craft, devotion, love, and its illusions."
