Permit fishing will ruin your life. That’s why I haven’t tried it.

Huckberry explores this addiction to the permit chase beautifully in I’ll Wait Here Forever. With overtones of humor and cynicism, you’ll garner both the frustration and elation of what it means to fish the Yucatán for the elusive permit.

This film perfectly captures every trout bum’s fears and curiosity. What’s it like on the other side? What if I dabble in the dark arts of salt?

It’s a downhill slope that will grab you, slam you in a seat, and tell you to take a number and wait your turn.
