Welcome to an all-new edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival, in which we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available. This week, we’ve got a baker’s dozen videos, featuring some unusual destinations–such as Tasmania and Germany–as well as some gorgeous spots from right here at home. A little trout, a bit of salt, and a touch of smallmouths should pique the interests of pretty much every angler.
For best results, watch all videos at full-screen and in high definition. Remember, we surf so you don’t have to. But if you do stumble upon something great that you think is worthy of inclusion in a future F5, please post it in the comments below, and we’ll take a look.
