About AEG
AEG Media (AEG) is comprised of four men: Chris Owens, Thad Robison, Justin Crump and Brian Jill, known as AEG - The Angling Exploration Group. They are dedicated to the success of AEG through their love of fly-fishing and conservation. Established in 2005, AEG has grown exponentially in the past two years, with three full-length feature films produced, a successful film tour, outfitter and international exposure.
As an adventure media company, based out of Merlin OR, our mission is to revolutionize the way the world sees fly-fishing. The films AEG produces are not the average instructional videos that are seen today, they are instead high-energy, adrenaline rushing, expedition documentaries.
The Trout Bum Diaries (TBD) series started out the onset of the company, and featured the acclaimed TBD I & TBD II. Arriving early 2008 is the latest addition to the AEG Media library, Fish Bum I: Mongolia, the first in our exciting new Fish Bum series. Our films are a response to a growing need in the fly fishing industry and community, a need for a higher level of fly-fishing entertainment.
The overwhelming global response has been "It's about time!" Our product appeals not only to people who fly fish but also to anyone who seeks adventure and exciting travel destinations. We aim to create a lasting legacy of high-quality, inspiration fishing entertainment with the Fish Bum series.
AEG's lasting legacy is achieved by the
Fly Fishing Film Tour. Our mission is made visible by this annual event. Coming on its second year, the film tour has traveled to 30 cities and will travel to 70 U.S. cities this year. In the future we plan to take the film tour international to destinations such as Australia and Japan.
As pioneers of the first annual fly-fishing exclusive film tour of its kind, we have successfully created a new market in the fly-fishing industry. With established nation-wide and international distribution channels in several countries, the word is out and will continue to spread.
AEG is also an outfitter known as
AEG Outfitters. Through this aspect of AEG we want to bring the greatest rivers to those who would not ordinarily be able to enjoy fishing in such remote streams.
AEG's endless pursuit for adventure and big fish film expeditions has us traveling to nearly every continent over the next five years. Our destinations include: Chile, Alaska, Iceland, Baja, Argentina, Belize, Venezuela, Yukon, British Columbia, Russia, Christmas Island, Mexico, Bolivia, Africa, Costa Rica, Quebec, Labrador, Greenland and Brazil.
We format our productions to appeal to a wide array of different age classes. Our goal is to promote industry growth by attracting and inspiring a new generation of youth within the sport, ultimately benefiting everyone involved. We'll continue to raise the bar of excellence and professionalism in our products and maintain dominance in our sector of the market.
Our passion for fly-fishing is evident in our belief in complete conservation. We believe in catch and release and are avid members of 1% for the Planet and AFFTA. Our locations are chosen with the intent to make the environment better for the fish than when we arrived, by increasing awareness through our films. We strive to create a cleaner and more abundant fishing experience for generations to come, one epic adventure at a time.
