Welcome to the latest edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival! Every 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 dozen new productions with an exotic slant: Australia, Tanzania, Mexico, and the South Pacific. But there’s plenty of homegrown fishing, as well. From permit to trout to bass, we’ve got you covered.
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 a little mayfly magic from Dave and Amelia Jensen.
