Tom: The friend fish deserve | Patagonia Films

[@cindyben22]

Such a great man and friend to all.

[@jaylawrence927]

That was so good… Good Onya Tom!! Travel well…

[@zelephant5917]

What a cool guy. Great video, Patagonia! More fly fishing content would be awesome.

[@terripintarelli2481]

Tom! So great to see you! Thank you for your dedication to the fish!

[@LaPescadora]

To know Tom & Connie is to love Tom & Connie! What an amazing film!

[@VincentMinecci]

This guy is awesome.

Great…great….great. Thirty two years of teaching high school in the US. We all want kids to be healthy in body and soul. Every new principal I tried to add to our school goals, that every child when they leave has a live long passion, a commitment of responsibility for something. The poor, the hungry, the forest, the rivers…..something that they are willing to make a priority in there life. Their response was always, grades, class rank and entry to college. “Activism is the rent for living on the planet”. I will call my good friend of 95 who got me involved 40 years ago…and thank her for best lesson I ever received.

What a great story, and it was beautifully told and filmed.

[@coachbjorn]

My daughter's middle name is Babine... and there's a hole on that river named after my grandfather. A wonderful place.

[@ColmMullally]

What a brilliant video! And what a legend Tom! Tight lines to ya man!

[@braidedcreative]

Never get bored of seeing these stories Patagonia. Great work, keep the fly fishing content coming!

[@charlescoult]

5:18 - "I think we have a feeling we can always make something better but there's nothing better than wild..."

[@JuanBarberis]

Yes - lead by example! Tks, Patagonia!

[@ErikDouds]

Donated $5 as my activism rent for the morning. Keep going Tom & friends. Keep the world wild.

[@FullingMillTV]

This is a beautiful film. Thank you for sharing this story!

LEGEND

[@ナリ-e7m]

very impressive

[@seanrusselyakima]

Yay Tom! Great video and wonderful story.

[@alpineflauge909]

world class content

[@charlescoult]

11:57 - "If we're not out there angling for them, steelhead just cease to exist." I've always wondered why I am drawn to fishing so strongly. I think this is a good reason to keep fishing. Without the sport, there would be one less reason to preserve the wild.

[@yakounmain]

Thanks Tom

[@Mark-si7tf]

Great story, thank you.

[@jonzotee2744]

Tom we sure could use your help with the Winchester dam snafu.

[@georgefairweathermoonlight4]

fark, so many of his sentences could be great quotes, activism is your rent!!

[@Dodgy_Dave]

Tom

[@kevingodziebiewski2593]

Wish this was a 2-3 hour video!!!

[@jpallen719]

Guys that you are friends with forever…… wisdom that last long after they are gone.

[@jeffcallahan6710]

Loved this so much. You might consider doing a video raising awareness about the importance of washing your waders and other fishing gear between trips to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species, too.

[@ribrobrooproop]

Sleeping bags on bed, love that!

[@charlescoult]

5:06 -" We can have some of this abundance in Oregon as well, if we just had more faith in nature..."

[@macrodose0215]

good guy tom guy

[@Night-le9ys]

And yet the runs on the skeena, babine, kispiox, morice, ect, ect are nearly at an all time low. Tough to see a video like this and imagine what its like to see the runs how they are through a guy like Toms eyes...

[@nestorlinwood3386]

Songs??

[@jackfaber-e2d]

Hey what the version of cornbread and buttermilk in the first minute !

[@obcd911]

Its look like a York river’s Gaspe Québec

[@THESJS]

i wanna ask a quetion to ppl who use patagonia i dont use patagonia so i was wondering do u guys like the cloth like the quality of it or that the brand is eco friendly even if its overpriced expensive is it because of the status it gives or idk im really curious do u feel better that u are spending to a brand that has ESR

[@Fisherking03]

Bust Deadbeat Dams!

[@moldychum3192]

This year is shaping up to be the 4th worst return in history on the Skeena system.

[@kimblemooney]

Yes certainly not a river with steelhead abundance…

[@mikelaird5458]

We're all getting old. Sucks but you don't get wisdom without it.

[@ryans7530]

@patagonia is that @melissacarper playing? Let's give her some credit here!
