Editor’s note: I’m on vacation this week, so enjoy a classic version of the F5 to get you pumped up for a weekend on the water!
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 eleven videos that capture the wide variety of fly-fishing experiences available around the planet–from hanging on a small stream with your brother in Pennsylvania to helicoptering into the Swedish wilderness.
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.
