Jeanie Ackley is an accomplished filmmaker and adventurer. She has travelled the world extensively and is a recognised researcher, producer, underwater camera-woman, photographer and dive instructor. All the images on this site are original, and the good ones were probably taken by Jeanie.

Her husband Carl (Bumcast) McNeil is, well, a trout bum – or at least he would be given half a chance.

Carl is an FFF certified Master Casting Instructor and obsessed fly fisher of both fresh and saltwater. He stands in the hard-core camp of trout behaviorists; “they’re only a bag of chemicals” which, he would have you believe, only makes fly fishing even more interesting, difficult and mystifying.

Together with their friends, Jeanie and Carl run this site, instruct, fish, adventure, make films and generally try to have a good time - and not get caught.

On The Fly is a New Zealand registered company. If you’re in the market for a short film, promotional DVD or video, photo spread, fly casting lesson or just a good time – you should give us a call.
