Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 03.29.19

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’ve got 14 videos that will take you from Texas to New Zealand, and from Utah to The Bahamas–with lots of spots in between and beyond.

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 old, but awesome, Orvis fly-fishing video theater: The Tug. There are more than 1,250 great videos on the site!

We kick things off with a gorgeous look at the Cariboo region of British Columbia, featuring pro snowboarder Eric Jackson.
