Welcome to the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival! Each week, we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available, and curate them for you. This was a banner week, so we’re presenting 15 glorious productions that will transport you around the world–from Australia to Lapland and from the Seychelles to Oklahoma. There’s a real variety of styles of filmmaking, as well, from classic 8mm to modern 4K video, along with some really great storytelling.
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.
