Chase and Aimee Bartee began making films together when they lived in New England, publishing them under the moniker Tight Loops Fly (or simply Tight Loops, depending on where you're looking). Their full length film Big Landwon best adventure at the fly fishing film awards in 2019, and for the past several years they've been working on a series called For Wild's Sake, which offers in-depth looks at various wild trout species from all corners of the United States. On top of their various film projects, Aimee is a dedicated editorial photographer, and Chase is a writer and fine artist known for his exquisitely detailed watercolors of various fish species. Several years ago, the Bartees moved into their Vanagon full-time, and a few years ago made the switch to tricked out expedition rig. After a spring and summer of whirlwind travels that brought them to Greenland, Japan and Mongolia, we were fortunate to catch them at the Bozeman Public Library, of all places. In this episode, we talk about their travels, the challenges of creating art on the road, bear problems in Japan, and what was the final straw in their decision to sell their Vanagon.
