Where I’m Meant to Be [video] – Fly Fishing Film Tour 2025

This is a story about identity, belonging, and rediscovery.

For Oregon native Megan Brown, figure skating was everything—her identity, her purpose, her world. But when she left it behind, she faced the challenge of finding herself all over again. Years later, she discovered a new passion that reconnected her to that same sense of purpose: fly fishing.

Where I’m Meant to Be is a short film about how who we are—and where we belong—can change over time, and the courage it takes to embrace a new chapter when life’s purpose is recast.

Carrying a trout net with the BKCNTRY Fishing Backpack – This is how we do it.

Welcome to another Tips and Tricks video. In this video Nick shows how he carries his mid-length trout net while fishing with the BKCNTRY fishing backpack. In a previous video Jordan showed how he carries a long handle guide net, and this builds on that video by showing three additional ways to carry a net in an easy to reach position. Drop us a comment with questions or comments. Happy fishing!

Easy fly change tip with Jordan

This is a neat tip from Jordan Young-Treadway @treadwatersfly on how to tame your Skagit head and sink tip while swapping a fly without reeling in any line at all. If you’re working through a run and want to make sure that you start again at the same distance, this trick lets you easily swap flies without reeling in your line. Without tying off to your rod like Jordan shows here your fly line will float away and tug on your tippet, making swapping flies more difficult. Happy fishing!

Carrying a long handle net with the BKCNTRY 25 Backpack

Here is Jordan Young-Treadway (@treadwatersfly on Instagram) showing how he carries his long handle guide net on walk and wade trips. By looping it through the net holding loop at the bottom of his BKCNTRY backpack and also supporting the top with the roll top clips, it makes the net easily accessible when it’s time to scoop up a fish. Happy fishing out there.
