MAKO: The Pursuit of One of Nature's Best Killers On A Fly | A Flylords Original Film

Video Overview & Insights

To many, staring down death in the form of hundreds of razor-sharp teeth and a killer instinct might seem like something out of a nightmare, but for Capt. Conway Bowman - It's just another day at the office. Dive into shark-infested waters with us in our latest original film: 'MAKO', as we explore themes of love, loss, and fatherhood through the lens of a shark fisherman's eyes. In this film, Capt. Bowman walks us through his origins of fly fishing for sharks and how the lessons imparted to him by his own father have inspired him to be the guide, husband, and dad he is now.

Your on a boat. You’re not in his world. Stop bullying fish

We would like to extend an immense thank you to Capt. Conway Bowman, as well as his loving family, for letting us into their lives and home, and for allowing us to share their stories.

Conway and Michelle have been family friends of mine for a long time. They gave me my first fly rod and told me the only thing I could do to pay them back was send photos of the fish I caught on it. Truly awesome people!!

Conway Bowman is one of the most humble dudes you could ever meet and is so accomplished in so many fields.... but you'd never hear that from him.

I don’t fly fish and I’ve only watched a few Flylords videos. But this. This was probably the best fishing film I’ve seen maybe ever. Great work!

I had the pleasure of meeting Conway and his wife when I worked at Blue Water Tackle/San Diego fly shop back in the day. We often had him in to give talks and he is a staple in the fishing community in San Diego. Really glad to see he is still doing his thing 🎣🎣🤙🤙. Guy is a legend. Tight Lines Brother! Great film 👌👌

Conway used to be the Manager of Lake Hodges in San Diego. He taught me how to catch carp there. He is truly a great guy. His wife “Mish” is a great fly fisher in her own right and is awesome on. A stand-up Paddle board (SUP). I now get to catch Bull Trout on the tributaries to the Salmon River in Idaho. CAPT Mike
