4 Patriotic Movies You Didn’t Know Involved Fly Fishing

The Patriot (2000)

Set during the Revolutionary War, this film mainly revolves around Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson), rallying his fellow revolutionaries fighting the British. However, the scene most people forget about is when Benjamin (Gibson) sees a red-coat bee-lining for his honey hole. Benjamin drops his musket, grabs his 8 weight and leads the charge to take back the hole and kick out the high-holing British.

Independence Day (1996)

After defeating the alien invasion,  Capt. Steven Hiller (Will Smith) and David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) grabbed their rods from the wreckage and went out for a quick dry fly session for some desert cutthroat. Welcome to Earth!

Red Dawn (1984)

During the height of the Russian occupation, the Wolverines resorted to fly fishing to provide for themselves while hiding out in the mountains of Colorado. Surviving off of land-locked stripers and tons of trout, the Wolverines were able to fight out the Soviets and reclaim their prized fishing grounds!

Iron Man 2

Tony developed this suit specifically to get to his favorite backcountry fishing spots without needing a helicopter or bush pilot. Utilizing cutting edge rod tube designs, he was able to carry 3 rods and quickly deploy a retractable net from his arms. Even superheroes need a day off to unwind on the creek.
