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 week, we’ve got a baker’s dozen productions from some exotic locations and backyard waters. From the Snowy Mountains of Australia to the Appalachians of western North Carolina, and from above the Arctic Circle to chilly New Zealand, this collection spans the globe. Enjoy!
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.
