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 11 cool videos featuring an eclectic variety of mostly North American destinations–from Pennsylvania to Alberta and from Northern Ontario to the Smoky Mountains. More exotic locales include New Zealand and southwestern England Not much saltwater this week, but that one fish is a doozy.
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.
