TIME | a reflection with Flip Pallot

- TIME is an exploration of Lefty Kreh’s legacy with some of the sport's greatest living legends. Flip Pallot, Blane Chocklett, and Bob Clouser explore the backwaters of inland Florida- one of Lefty’s favorite fishing areas- and discuss how Lefty’s presence influenced their own trajectories in a life of fly fishing.
-
In 2019 the American Museum of Fly Fishing contacted us to work on a special project, that would shine a light on their fantastic organization, and also introduce them to a younger audience. Lefty Kreh had passed away a few months prior to this conversation, and he was someone we wanted to focus on for the project. In our first conversation with Flip about the project he talked about how fragile Time was, and we knew this would end up being a centerpiece to the project. When everything was organized we put together an all-star crew and spent a few days in Flip's backyard reminiscing about the old days, and talking about the new days and the future of fly fishing. To date, this has been one of the most meaningful projects we have worked on, and would like to thank everyone involved with helping this project come to life!

Thanks for sharing this poignant video. Lefty was my uncle, and I was so fortunate to have him around. Flip's honesty about Time couldn't be more vital and true. He is a class act, and I am grateful for the moments with my uncle captured on film and tape throughout the years.
Normally your videos give me an almighty stoke, but this one brought a few tears.
We are very lucky.
“ The most valuable thing in the world is time !” Because you as a person are only allotted a certain amount of it and what you do with it is your destiny ! Flip thanks for being part of my journey.
I could listen to Flip talk for hours. Wonderful piece ❤️
Right! Thanks so much
Masterpiece in all aspects! ❤
Just freaking awesome.....I’m leaving Texas with my wife 1/16/2021 in which we will be towing a brand new Hewes 21 Redfisher down to Islamorada to Angler house Marina. We are going to get a bite of the dream...we will be making rods and tying flies...we are done talking and watching other people’s dreams....now we will be leaving a dream...I hope I get a 10th of what these legends have experienced.
Good luck to y’all. That’s awesome. Let us know when you get up and running!
How awesome , and inspiring ! Thank you !
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Roy, I wish you and your wife nothing but great success. I fished Islamorada with my first wife, Carolyn many times in the early to mid 80's out of Bud and Mary's Marina. Guided to our first Bonefish each right there on Shell Key. Tarpon in Channel 2 & 5. And hooked a large Snook somewhere deep in some Mangroves.
It ate a SLUGO designed for Largemouth and my Guide almost fainted when I set the hook. But... like all BIG Snook, it turned 180 and took me back into those tangled mangrove roots and cut me off. We all had a good laugh at my expense.
If your Bride enjoys fishing with you, your halfway to heaven already. Take care of her and tell her I said hello. I miss my Carolyn terribly.
Sweet boat what's on the back of it
I enjoyed the comments as much as the documentary. Love those 2 guys
Haven't met Flip but met Lefty twice. He was as genuine and down to earth each time and each time I came away a better fly caster than before. World class angler; world class friend to other people.
Flip-you taught me all about fly fishing and introduced me to the legend Lefty Kreh. But moreover, you taught me that it's beyond the fly rod, thanks. Peace.
Well done! Important reminder to get out there with your friends and enjoy the outdoors.
Truly incredible
Priceless, thank you for sharing with us Flip Pallot!
I’m from Tasmania, Australia. My great uncle was a fly fishing guide. 30 years ago he taught me, and part of this was giving me a VHS called Lessons with Lefty. What a great tool for a budding fly caster. He was as equally good an orator as he was fisherman. I’m thankful for the lessons from my uncle, and Lefty. Both have now passed, but their legacy will live on.
Tight lines everyone.
Salt of the Earth. A genuine humane being. In the end, following your passion is all that matters.
Well done Flip. Well done.
Alot of legends in this beautiful video...
Such a gift to be able to watch this story and let the friendships unfold through the listener(s)...
Fantastic! Flip is a true icon to me as well! Lefty will be missed but his readings and videos will go on!
Legends. Absolute legends.
Incredible
WoW. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing some of the memories of Lefty and your perspective on our sport.
Thanks for the Christmas present, Flip.
It does us all good to hear that message. Its up to us to do all we can to preserve habitat and teach the next generation its relevance. Listening to Flip talk brings me back to watching saltwater chronicles with my dad as a youngster. He still holds command of my attention just as well today.
Flip has always enthralled me with his knowledge of all things Salty... I've never had the pleasure of meeting him but still regard him a close friend if that makes any sense. After my first day of Fishing the flats of Islamorada in 1983, I fell headfirst in love with Backcountry Fishing. I asked my Guide if I would ever enjoy freshwater fishing again and he said "I hope so..." it's what brought you here...
Amazing can’t even describe the emotion in this , I love cinematography and this touched me , I also love flip and I love the Florida nature coast , how much more this single video just made me appreciate it is incredible ❤️
I had the pleasure of meeting him and having him help my casting
Incredible tribute to a Legend, by a Legend. Well done.
The Masters. Lefty and Flip. Hyper competitive, yet humble and giving. Who will carry that torch?
How awesome and inspiring , had the privilege to meet all three gentleman at one of the FTDealr shows in Denver , thank you for the tribute.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Beautifully done
Such an underrated piece of fly fishing film gold! Hats off to Jared, Alex, Max, Ben and Zento!
Amazing.
What a fantastic tribute. I had never heard him have 1 bad thing to say about anything. Always positive & helpful + always had a great joke to throw in! Great vid!
Absolutely stellar storytelling and beautiful cinematography!
This again and outstanding film Lefty and Flip meshed together like cream potatoes
and gravy.I started fly fishing when was 10 yrs old stop for a long time but watching Flip ,Jose they brought me back to the sport that is real.I have taught my boy to fly fish and he loves to I only hope he will teach his boys.Thank you for this film.
Well said.
So, a year ago I started fly fishing. I came across a youtube video and I was curious, to say the least. I wanted to do it. I found a guy on fb market place, lived here in Texas, pretty close to me, baby on the way, was selling some gear that I could afford. I picked up the skills pretty quickly and soon outgrew that rod. Now I have a small collection of Lefty Kreh's Signature II rods. I continue to hear his voice as I'm casting, as if he was standing next to me in the water, telling me to lock my elbow and wrist and to use my body.
Thank you for this video.
Great Clip Guys!
That was a fantastic piece. Many thanks.
Amazing short film. Such an inspirational and motivational video
This is an awesome video. Brings back lots of memories watching those two guys on Saturday mornings.
Hey Flip,
From Flamingo up to Coot Bay Pond, into Coot Bay, then up into White Water Bay.
Running NE up in very small waterways, then had to lay down in the rental skiff,
Then into a opening of running water of a open small bay. You ❤ know where I was at 11 years ago, you have been there, more times than me. But the Photo in your heart, is still there. The Guide was out of Flamingo, John Singleton. Dad had rented one of those red and Gray on the inside 24ft skiffs, Dad brought his 20 hp Mercury outboard ,. At 70 as you said, we have less time in front of us , but a life time for great fishing stories behind us.
John Singleton said that we were in Hells Bay, when we got back to the dock, he showed us on the the big map on the wall. Dad is gone, but fishing Cayo Casta Key , on the outside SW corner. One of the Tarpons on the walls of the Tarpon Lodge, is for Hells Bay, Flip.
Would love to talk to you or Rob, so we don't lose our Love of fishing and History of the Glades. Thank you Sr. For your time.
Don Smith
Fantastic glimpse of two of the great ones of our sport.!
Beautiful and heart touching. “If you dont love it - you wont protect it”
Well done
My heroes. For the pure love of nature and sport , the outdoors call on my soul
As a 70-yr old 'newbie' to fly fishing, this segment was so inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome picture and prose.
Amazing little documentary!
Thank you for the beautiful Christmas present.
Merry Christmas ( :
Flip, your humility is, and has always been your greatness. You’ve never forgotten the greats that you’ve admired and payed them their due respect. I will unequivocally state here today that, without a doubt, you and Jose have done more for saltwater fishing than any men alive. Thank you and may Jose rest in peace.
Im speachless what an incredible outlook on fly fishing, lefty sounds like a true legend
A loving tribute to a remarkable man. It is my strong belief that Lefty is at the top of the heap of ambassadors for the sport. A true gentleman who had a heart big enough to teach my nine year old daughter (whom he had never met) to cast a fly rod at Bob Marriot's shop 25 years ago. Neither she nor I will ever forget that day or the man who made the dance comprehensible to a child. Flip is doing a wonderful job of carrying the torch.
Important message.
Great story. So well put together
This was excellent! Thanks for what you do and putting it together
I grew up watching and learning from these names so this was great to watch
If that doesn’t put a knot in your throat you couldn’t have been paying attention. Well done! I will share the hell out of this!
That was beautiful n tasteful. ❤ I'm older, n late to the game. I hope to run across my mentor
This is so heartwarming sobering and such a deep look at not just fly fishing but life in general. This was epic and life changing
Wow! This was really well done and appreciated.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing
My Greatest moment with Lefty was when he came to my clubs' annual picnic and gave his famous casting demonstrations. when he asked for volunteers, I jump up and grab the rod. So, I'm flinging the rod back and forward And I'll forget what he told me with that fantastic smile of his. He said to me " That ok son: If I threw a back cast as ugly as that, I wouldn't want to look at it either " one of the best days of my life that i will never forget.
Loved Walker’s Cay on tv, especially when Lefty or Chico or José or any number of greats were guests.
wow
I’m so glad I found this, thank you for sharing. Such a pleasure to watch.
Very nice!!
Inspirational
Limpkin at 8:08 mark - so poignant and Flip's voiceover sounds so poetic
That was really well done. I grew up watching Flip and Lefty and steered my love for the outdoors. Well done. Just an awesome video.
Thx Flip. Since the first time I saw this a yr ago I have made the most of my time outdoors and with my family outdoors. Bless you
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Phenomenal video. Going down a fly fishing RUclips rabbit hole and just discovered this channel. What great filmmaking!
Thank you Flip, for sharing pieces of your remarkable journey thru this life you chosen.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
It’s hard to not enjoy the Econ I seen you come by on your airboat 2 weeks ago while I was fishing just keep getting out and enjoy life your a inspirational man
Unreal guys! Right in the feels 👌🏻
Good stuff
Thanks!
☘️
Time is the new currency
Amazing film! Y’all don’t miss. Would y’all mind sharing what lens this was shot on?
Bob clouser!! I take it he made the clouser?...wow legends
Let's not forget Joe Brooks, Leftys' master
That was awesome merry Christmas
Its unfortunate that someone like Flip, who prides themselves on being such a champion of the natural world thinks climate change is a hoax.
If the people stop hunting and fishing the animals will suffer the most.
Very poignant, there will never be another Lefty. I never met him but by watching his demeanor on video I'm betting he made you feel like his best friend within 10 minutes of meeting him. His passing left a void that will never be filled.
