Geoff Vukelich, who lives just north of Duluth, is the subject of the short feature “Bigotry to Brook Trout,” which is part of the International Fly Fishing Film Festival.

Synopsis:

Bigotry to Brook Trout features one man’s transformation from a life of ignorance and hate to quiet solitude on the waters of northern Minnesota.

The traveling festival will hit Duluth on March 22 at Zeitgeist Arts.

Matt Porter and friends laced up and skated on the Duluth Harbor back in mid December for this video.
