F3T – Fly Fishing Film Tour – Under the Cotter Bridge
SATURDAY night May 28th is the 2nd Annual F3T Fly Fishing Film Tour Movie Under the Cotter Bridge. It is setting up to be an epic evening on the banks of the White River, for the F3T Under The Bridge. A rainy week is expected to clear into a warm and pleasant evening Saturday night. Tickets will be available at the gate from 6pm Saturday night and at Dally’s, and at Natural State Fly Shop and Ozark Mountain Trading Co as well as online at the Fly Fishing Film Tour site. Buying a $15 ticket to the F3T Under The Bridge could win you a fly fishing guide trip for two with our own Steve Dally, and an evenings accommodation from Potter Block Properties, and a bunch of cool prizes from sponsors Yeti, Simms, Costa and more.
In what has to be the most spectacular setting for the Fly Fishing Film Tour anywhere in the country, the F3T Under the Bridge will be held in the natural amphitheater of Big Spring Park, under the historic Rainbow Bridge, with the river as a defining backdrop. Bring along your own chairs or blanket for a great evening in Cotter. Live music, by the Leslie Williams Band, will be held on the Supreme Boats Stage, from 6pm to 8pm to set the scene for the 12 films of the F3T show which starts on dark. Five food trucks will supply the hungry hordes in the Double XX Boats Food Court, plus local brewer Norfork Brewing. In the court there will be Rolling Razorback offering NY-style hotdogs, BBQ sandwiches and boiled peanuts, Nomes 2 Bros are bringing Tacos, well known Cotter caterer Nathan Buck’s At The Curb and for those with a sweet tooth Paradise ice cream.
The F3T Under The Bridge Festival is promising to become a major event on the local fly fishing scene, set in this iconic location under the historic Rainbow Bridge in Cotter. The easternmost abutment of the bridge serves as the screen. All proceeds go to improve fishing accesses on the White River.
The F3T Under The Bridge is backed by major sponsors Dally’s Ozark Fly Fisher and Potter Block Properties with the support of the Cotter-Gassville Chamber of Commerce.
