Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 02.08.19

Welcome to the 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’re serving up 17 great films that cover a lot of ground–geographically, thematically, and stylistically. From the bottom of South America to Norway’s Finnmark region and from the mountains of British Columbia to the flats off the Texas Coast, there’s plenty here to please the eyes and ears.

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.

And don’t forget to check out the awesome Orvis fly-fishing video theater: The Tug. As of today, there are more than 1,250 great videos on the site!
