Lure of the Laguna is the first film in our four-part series with Lone Star Beer.
Chapter One features angling savant Ben Paschal and his obsession with saltwater fly fishing on the coast of Texas. It’s a story about hard work, dedication, and bailing on the internship his parents wanted him to take to follow his passion in the Laguna Madre.
We’re excited to tell more stories about those who care so deeply about wildlife and wild places in the Lone Star State, and hopefully, you find some inspiration within the adventure.

“The word ‘matagi’ is derived from ‘matagu’, meaning to
cross over, step over or straddle, bounding an image of
people between two worlds — the realm of humans and that
of the mountain deity: yama-no-kami.” Scott Schnell, Ph.D.,

Therein lies the overarching question: what does society want our landscape to look like? We seem to be moving toward a future where, in the name of "rewilding," people are disassociating with the land.
