Perhaps this would be better suited in the "Helping Hands" forum, but I thought this would be closer to the folks who could help.

I'm helping a friend who is putting together a fly tying video. 99% of the video will be at the tying bench or shot in fresh water up here in NY. He does have one fly, a sand crab imitation that is intended for bonefish on the flats.

I'm looking for a few seconds of "non-descript" flyfishing on the flats and/or bonefish being released. The fishing shots cannot show the fisherman in any recognizable detail (WS of flats boat or wader??) Bone fish being brought to the surface without the fly visible would also work.

Can offer very modest payment, maybe a copy of video, handfull of flies & credits. Anyone?

You might try the Versus network and offer them a credit on the video...
They had a show last year called the Huntley Way that did a flats show with several catches. Any of the fishing shows probably have shots. You might try Loomis Rods or Scott Rods and see if they have any footage. The same goes for any of the reel manufactures. Try some of the fishing lodges in the Bahamas, Belize or down in the Keys. You might find some stock footage that they use in promotions. No matter what offer them a credit.
