Editor’s Note: I’m out of the office today, so here’s a great collection of videos from a few years back. Have a great weekend!
Welcome to the another edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival! Each 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 a cools dozen videos shot mostly in the U.S. and Australia, strangely enough. From the remote beaches of the York Peninsula to the chilly trout rivers of the Upper Peninsula, there’s plenty to keep the fly-fishing fires in your mind well stoked.
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.
