From Mt. Yonder Flyfishing: “Four states. Four crews. Two months of chaos. One buggy, unpredictable fish hunt. Rise follows a ragtag team of friends and guides as they chase one of nature’s rarest events — a double brood of periodical cicadas.

Along the way: near misses, busted plans, heartache, long lost friend reunions, new friendships, muddy rivers, and a few unforgettable eats. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a true story about chasing moments that may never come again — and trying to laugh when the bugs have vanished and the fish flip us the fin.
