Welcome the latest edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival, in which we feature the best videos from around the world. This week, we’ve got a dozen videos that feature a wide variety of species, from trout and bass to false albacore and mahseer. But do not miss the last video, which is a trailer for an inspirational film about a man who has overcome incredible odds to rediscover his passion for fly fishing. It’s miraculous stuff.
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 all-new, improved Orvis fly-fishing video theater: The Tug. As of today, there are more than 1,100 great videos on the site!
See you next week with a fresh set of films!

We finish up with an inspirational trailer for an upcoming film about Martin Clemm, a German fly fisherman who suffered a catastrophic injury that made it impossible to even hold a fly rod. But he did not give up, spending 15 years in search of a solution. By the end of this trailer, you will be cheering for this guy. Trust me. Next time you’re frustrated because things on the water aren’t working out for you, think of Martin.
The video about The bone fish whisperer was sick! Something special about the feeling letting a bonefish slip through the hand. We release a video about Bonefishing at East End on Grand Bahamas next week. Featuring some of the fishing experience we got with the upcoming guide called PJ. Was an amazing day on the skiff, with several shots at bones and superb guiding. Heres a little teaser: https://vimeo.com/158103478
