Welcome to an all new edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival! Every week, we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available and then serve them up for you to enjoy. This week, we’ve got an even dozen killer productions, which will transport you from the trout streams of Sweden to the Louisiana Marsh, and from California to the salmon rivers of the Gaspé Peninsula. Some of the cinematography here is really impressive.
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.
