In a somewhat unusual era of fly fishing history, respected anglers, musicians, writers, and more descended on the Florida Keys in the 1970s. The story of what unfolded is the focus of All That Is Sacred — a film from YETI.
From YETI:
“In the late 60’s a group of poets, writers and musicians descended upon the lawless tip of the United States to pursue their love of literature and fishing (and cocaine and acid). Initiated by Tom McGuane – the prodigal son of American Literature in the 1970’s – his friends Jim Harrison, Richard Brautigan, Russell Chatham and Jimmy Buffett soon joined him. This crew and that era were captured on film by Guy De La Valdene and Christian Odasso in an obscure documentary called ‘Tarpon’ in 1974. They went on to create some of the best art, poetry, novels, and music of their generation – but there will never be anything like Key West in the early 70’s. If you were lucky to survive it.”
