Welcome to the latest edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival, in which we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available and then serve them up for you to enjoy. This week, we serve up a baker’s dozen videos, which will take you around the world–from New Zealand’s North Island to Finnish Lappland, and from Pennsylvania to Montana.
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.
We kick things off with the trailer for an upcoming film about British Columbia’s famed Bulkley-Skeena Valley. “Leap Year” explores the river and the colorful characters of this culture as it begs the question: who will carry on these traditions if the migrations come to a screeching halt? Warning: One bad word.
