The PALM Reel Contest invites you to share your passion for fly fishing and show the essence of this unique activity by assembling your best images from the past season.

 

Participation Criteria

Fly fishing activity: Whatever the species, the important thing is to show the activity in an authentic and respectful way.

Respect of responsible catch-and-release practices: If you choose to use catch-and-release videos, make sure they represent responsible practices (see our page on good catch-and-release practices).

Format: The reel must be shot in 9:16 vertical format, ideal for social platforms, and have a maximum duration of 1 minutes.

Submissions for the Reel Contest are now closed. See you in January 2026 for the next edition!

Sandra Fournier - Au fil de l'aube

The PALM Photo Contest invites photographers to capture the essence of fly fishing, with an emphasis on best practices.

 

Participation Criteria

Fly fishing activity: The photo must highlight the activity of fly fishing, whether it's the action of fishing or the release of a fish.

Respect of responsible catch-and-release practices: If you choose to submit a catch-and-release photo, only photos illustrating respectful practices will be accepted (see our page on good catch-and-release practices).

Avoid traditional clichés: Photos of people posing with their fish will not be accepted unless they are original.
