About the Tour

RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival is back after a three-year hiatus during COVID. The festival will be back in Australian & New Zealand cinemas starting in August 2023 and traveling for more than two months. In its 15th year, RISE is on a mission to celebrate our fly fishing lifestyle by bringing you engaging stories, from around the globe, of big fish and the inspiring characters that chase them. It’s the only way to kick-off the new fishing season!

In even more exciting news, RISE has now joined forces with the Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T), the world’s biggest fly fishing film tour. By bringing these two brands together, we will be able to provide the local fly fishing community even more great content, prizes and excitement.

For many, the Fly Fishing Film Tour and RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival have become so much more than just going to the cinema. These annual fish-fests have become a true celebration of fly fishing, it’s an excuse to get together with friends and reminisce about the past season as well as look forward to the season to come.

RISE was founded by New Zealander, Nick Reygaert, the man behind Gin-Clear Media.

Your feedback is encouraged by us to continue rolling out a better tour each year. If the tour doesn’t visit where you live and you would like to see the tour come to your town contact us for possibilities.
