John Dietsch is perhaps best known in fly fishing circles for his supervision of all the fishing scenes on the OSCAR® winning film A River Runs Through It, where he also conceived and executed the famous final fishing scene doubling for actor Brad Pitt by swimming a rapid while playing a fish.  Dietsch is also known for creating, producing, hosting and directing the Telly® Award Winning primetime TV series called Adventure Guides: Fishing Edition.   Dietsch also wrote, directed, co-hosted and co-produced an interactive digital video project called ESPN Interactive Fly Fishing School and co-wrote the book Shadowcasting.  He has also appeared in or consulted on more than a dozen fly fishing TV commercials for brands like Mastercard, Miller Beer, Mild Seven, and T Rowe Price. He actively consults on TV commercials and film projects as a fly fishing film consultant.  Dietsch founded and ran Hook.tv, the world's first digital video community based on fly fishing and user-generated content.  John was also recently hired to develop a feature length documentary film and sizzle reel about the life of legendary angler Joe Brooks,  with initial funding from the Brooks family and featuring Lefty Kreh.  For video samples of John's work click on any of the icons on the page above or scroll below.
