Welcome to another edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival! Each 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 sixteen cool entries, from seriously pro-level productions to home-video quality. Destinations range from the coast of northern Australia to the salmon rivers of Norway, and from the brook-trout waters of the east to the cold steelhead streams of the OlyPen.
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.
