Obsession is a bottomless pit, a mouth never satisfied, a desire never fulfilled, a need never met. In short — you all recognized yourselves in that brief yet spot-on description of the Fly Fisherman! But here, we’re no longer talking about trout, grayling, carp, or barbel — and for the more tropical among you, bonefish, permit, GT, Jack, and tarpon — no, here we’re in the realm of the ultimate: the Mako Shark! There’s nothing to add, nothing more to say, except: watch Capt. Conway Bowman and you’ll understand what obsession truly is — and how sometimes, it brings us peace and satisfaction.
For many, coming face to face with death in the form of hundreds of razor-sharp teeth and a killer instinct might feel like something out of a nightmare — but for Capt. Conway Bowman, it’s just another day at the office. Dive with us into shark-infested waters in our latest original film: MAKO, where we explore themes of love, loss, and fatherhood through the eyes of a fly fishing shark angler. In this film, Capt. Bowman takes us back to his early days fishing for sharks on the fly, and how the lessons passed down by his own father inspired him to become the guide, husband, and dad he is today. — We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Capt. Conway Bowman and his family for opening the doors of their life and home to us, and for allowing us to share their stories.
