What we do
10 years of tributaries

Tributaries
The namesake of our company. We visited three guides, in 3 very different places: Iceland, Argentina, Bahamas. There's plenty of contrast between these characters but, as always, we're more concerned on what brings these 3 disparate folks together.

Yow: Icelandic For Yes
Yow! This film toured on the Fly Fishing Film Tour around the world and we also cut a 45 minute version.

The Accord
Oh The Accord! Our favorite film we've made to date and we've always been trying to push the boundaries like we did for The Accord ever since. 40 production days in Iceland to find perfect surf, we dealt with our buddy The North Atlantic Wind during one of the deepest winters Iceland has ever seen. This is a fun one.

YETI Presents
This was when YETI had two people in their production department. In collaboration with the talented folks over there we told a different YETI presents through Vala and her Daughter. This one has stuck with audiences all over the world.

Howler Brothers
Howlers Brothers have been with us from the beginning and this is about the time we really started to fly. Our favorite piece tells the story of two lost cowboys in the desert on the search for surf. It's absurd, different and fun. Perfect!

Sage Fly Fishing
Perfecting Performance. The Sage brand is for the hardcore fisherman. A high price point, a long history of dedication and a strong brand make Sage the perfect brand for Tributaries to work with. We love telling the history of the brand, coupled with modern fishing techniques that happen today.

Redington
As opposed to Sage, Redington tells stories for all of us. At Tributaries, it's our job to talk to a general audience where fly fishing isn't our everyday. We've always felt Redington has the most potential of all fly fishing brands to reach the largest amount of people. We're happy to lend our storytelling skills to that.

Mystery Ranch
We don't work locally to us in Bozeman, Montana very often so working with Mystery Ranch is treat. In collaboration with Foss Media, Tributaries is responsible for image. With such an incredible brand, doing incredible things - it's a perfect place for us.

Far Bank Education
A new genre for us, we were happy to lend our touch to Far Bank's successful fly fishing school. We built a set, opened our own studio, did hours upon hours of pre-production to avoid the pitfall most education series fall into.

Official Selection
We are proud to have been an Official Selection at 5 Points Film Festival. Our goal, in collaboration with Huckberry, was to reach a general audience with a fly fishing film. It was exciting to bring this unique film to an audience that may not fish, but can appreciate the fun and humor of our chosen passions.

In the can...
We have a couple of incredible projects in the can that we can't wait to share for '24. We also have a few new clients coming on board but in due time we'll show our hand!
