Courtney Boice Wins 2016 International Fly Fishing Film Festival


Blue Halo Unicorns from Blue Halo on Vimeo. (This is a sampler from the award winning film)

Courtney is a Rexburg native and all around good guy who was a Rexburg Cycling regular back in the mountain bike days. Along with his partners in Western Waters Media, Courtney has traveled through Alaska, British Columbia, and the Arctic Circle making a series of fly fishing films, mostly on a shoestring budget. WWM won the 2016 IFF Film Festival against a number of big budget competitors with its film “Arctic Unicorns” in which the crew fish for brook trout, arctic char and Dolly Varden. Plus our buddy Tim Meikle is in the movie.
Courtney’s current film “The Hidden” has received a very warm reception and will likely be a top contender for the 2017 prize.
The full length version of Arctic Unicorns is about 15 minutes. I understand it will be available for purchase on Vimeo for $3. It is a spectacular film and absolutely a bargain at the purchase price.
