Welcome to a classic edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival as we scour the internet for the best fly fishing videos available. This week we have fifteen killer productions covering a remarkable range of species and destinations. The collection begins with a video from a country I don’t think we’ve seen on the F5: China. Then we travel around the globe, hitting every continent except Antarctica.
For best results, watch all videos in full screen and high resolution. Remember, we surf so you don’t have to. But if you come across something great that you think is worth including in a future F5, please post it in the comments below and we’ll take a look.
And don’t forget to check out the fantastic fly fishing video cinema in Orvis: The tug. As of today, there are exactly 1,435 great videos on the site!
