- Nostalgic Films Present - Mahakam, The Last Frontier
This is a short film about fly fishing in the Mahakam River in Kalimantan Indonesia. With a mammoth catchment of some 77,100 km sq, flowing 980km from the highlands of Borneo, it is the largest river in East Kalimantan.
Cutting extensively through the tropical rainforest of Borneo, the river is home to a plethora of flora and fauna, including the critically endangered species of freshwater dolphin, Orcaella brevirostris, or locally known as the pesut, and a long list of protected and endemic species of animals and plants.
The entire ecosystem is severely threatened by logging and mining activities. Whilst the river continues to be an important economic and survival resource for the people, primarily the Dayaks and other indigenous communities, the alarming rate of habitat loss not only serves a needful reminder on the current environmental impact, but the impending serious consequences that lie ahead.
It is a race against time to take the necessary actions through education, awareness, conservation efforts and environmental measures to protect and preserve what is remaining, and rehabilitate lost grounds through habitat enhancement and buffer provisions.
The Dayaks and the indigenous communities, together with the Government, have integral roles to play for the future of the rainforest and all the great rivers of Kalimantan and Borneo lies very much in their hands.
This is a story how conservation, fly fishing and friendship hope to inspire faith, belief, and awareness in preserving these precious and fragile ecosystems that are fast disappearing all over the world.
**This film is dedicated to my uncle and my father, who passed away peacefully one day apart from one another. They are the biggest influence to my love, passion and appreciation for nature, flyfishing and trekking. **

Amazing video, brother! I'm Brazilian, I live in Japan and I can see how the nature of South Asia and South America are similar! We need to protect our paradises to continue fishing forever. Keep striking
Very cool video thank you for share this with all of us
Thank you for take time to watch it sir. I'm grateful
RUclips has reduced the default video quality to standard definition. So please manually select to watch it in HD because it makes a huge difference. Everything was shot in 4k and down-res to 1080, which is the highest RUclips can offer. Hopefully people get to see this before they watch it.
great video and amazing spot for fly fishing in borneo... Mantaaapp bro...
Thank you buddy. am flattered =)
I have been to the river. Back in the late seventies I spent a year in Balikpapan as an ESL teacher. On my time off I explored. I went to the river and up to Tenggarong where there was a museum. I had other experiences including visiting a village in the interior called Ongko Asa. I treasure the experience.
That's incredible. Thank you for sharing a little of your story and your experiences. It's beautiful to be able to connect and relate these memories.
Mantaaapppppp
🤜🏻🤛🏻

thank you so much. that's very flattering. will always try and make a short film for every expedition I embark. stay tuned. you can also watch other films that I have created in the past. cheers!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing with the world !!!
It is my pleasure and honour to be able to do so. Thank you for spending time to watch it.
Just beautiful. Condolences on your loss, too. Don't let it stop your fishing.
I notice on the aerial shots there are small judders in the footage. I have this problem also when I downscale from the 4k DJI footage onto 1080. This happens even before uploading to RUclips.

Thanks for watching buddy. No, in fact, I want to explore the world more, with them in spirit and memory.
Yeah, not sure why it's such the case. Hope to solve this issue eventually.
Incredible video, documentaries like this will promote and encourage wildlife conservation all over the world. Well done!
Thank you for watching sir, I appreciate that. Hopefully we all get to do enough in our own little ways and the wilder side of the Earth can continue to thrive
Wow wow finally dude, thanks! The people of Long Tuyoq will appreciate this!
been working very hard on this. hopefully, they deserve the recognition and respect for the good work they have done so far protecting what they can.
Beautiful video!! Keep up the good work. Hope to see more videos of your jungle fishing and trekking adventure
thank you buddy. it's quite a bucket list down the line so hopefully, I could do them sooner than later.
I will definitely go here, one fine day! Sick size hampala bro! Loved them, hope I can break the 6.7kg record too 🤤
Thanks man. Best of luck to you for sure 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Very nice movie. Enjoyed every frame. And nice to see Ah Tan in the thick of things.
Lao Tan and Ah Liu are absolute legends. A true honour to be able to go on an epic adventure like this with them.
Dammmmm that’s a really awesome fish, my dream fish!
Never give up on your dreams. I kept believing, even in the lowest moments. And when that fateful day comes, and all stars aligned, it's truly magical.
Sangatlah indah pemandangan

Absolute Tops mate! Love your work! Massive Massive Hampala bro, major congrats!
Thank you buddy. It was absolutely unbelievable. Never expected to land such an impressive specimen on fly. Truly amazing stuff. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
nice storyline..
hopefully we're able to spread the awareness =)
Incredible place with phenomenal fish! Awesome video, too. What's the name of the outfitter? I went to Thailand a month ago to fly fish for Blue masheer and I'm hooked! I definitely want to visit Kalimantan.
Thank you buddy. You can contact Spice Island Outfitters. Look for Fajar Setyawan on IG and/or Facebook.

wow what an experience Mervyn. I can feel that you are instantly rejuvenated just being there. Bet you miss going there even more so now in the middle of this pandemic. lol
Shooting and editing this must have taken a lot of your time.
