The International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4) made a splash this year at the Byrd Auditorium in Shepherdstown, drawing a larger crowd than ever. The festival's new August timing perfectly aligns with the fall trout fishing season, generating excitement among locals and visitors alike, such as fly fishing enthusiasts Brian and Miles Kane from Hagerstown, and Shepherdstown residents Valerie and Mike Dudash. The festival not only presented stunning films but also resonated with the community's love for the art of fly fishing, emphasizing memories created in nature rather than just the catch.
