RA Beattie is a renowned fly-fishing filmmaker, photographer, and storyteller. Founder of Beattie Outdoor Productions, he has spent over two decades capturing the beauty and adventure of fly fishing around the world. His award-winning films blend breathtaking cinematography with compelling narratives, showcasing remote fisheries, interesting people, conservation efforts and more.
In this episode of Anchored, I sit down with RA and writer Miles Nolte, a friend and past guest of the show, to discuss RA’s work, the state of fishing media today, and more.
If you’re a regular listener of the show, then hopefully you know that I do my best to curate thoughtful, interesting, and well-informed conversations about the culture, community, and craft of fly fishing. So, when I partner with companies, I look for people who take a similarly measured approach to design and craft. You may have noticed that I’ve been wearing a lot of apparel from Skwala Fishing lately, and I’m thrilled to be working with them. I’ve worn just about everything out there, and Skwala makes the most innovative and effective fly fishing gear I’ve ever experienced. From their totally unique wader design, to rethinking the way hoods fit your head, to incorporating materials that stretch and move with you instead of forcing you to move inside of them, Skwala is improving essential fishing apparel.
