2025 Fly Fishing Film Tour Results 🎣 Big Win for Ohio Native Fish!

Mad River Outfitters was thrilled to once again team up with the Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) to bring Ohio anglers together for a night of fly fishing short films, community, and giving back. Hosted at the always-awesome Studio 35 in Columbus, this year’s event brought in a boatload of fun—and over $7,000 in raffle prizes to boot! Watch the film tour recap video here:

But the best part? It wasn’t just about watching epic fish fights on the big screen. This year’s beneficiary was the Ohio Chapter of the Native Fish Coalition (NFC) — a group of passionate folks working hard to protect, preserve, and restore native fish populations and their habitats across the state. They're all about science-based conservation, responsible angling, and making sure our waters stay wild and thriving for generations to come.

Thanks to the generosity of the Ohio fly fishing community, we were able to raise a whopping $4,901.89 for the cause! That’s a lot of flies, folks—and every penny will help support NFC's mission right here in our backyard.

We’re beyond excited to keep working with the Native Fish Coalition—especially with some awesome events coming up, like their collaboration with Ohio Women on the Fly happening May 18th!
