Welcome to an all-new edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival, in which we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available. This week, we’ve got a ton of homegrown footage from the West, as well a couple of videos from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, which we don’t see enough of. The international entries will take you from Mexico to Newfoundland and from Chile to Alberta.
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.
