Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 02.23.18

Welcome to the latest 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 are serving up a cool dozen videos with a globe-trotting theme. From trout in Australia to tarpon the Florida Keys, and from peacock bass in South America to huge brookies in Canada, these locations span the planet.

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 exactly 1,435 great videos on the site!

We kick things off with a great video from Australia’s Snowy Mountains, where a group of anglers sets out to conquer three species in three days: browns, rainbows and brooks.
