Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 04.15.16

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 another thirteen videos, featuring many different species and quite a bit of salty action. From the Seychelles to the Netherlands, from Key West to Colorado, there’s something here to float your boat.

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 kick things off for the awesome trailer for an “Turning Points North,” from RA Beattie and Cpt Jack Films. Well-traveled angler Jeff Currier chases huge pike in the Northwest Territories.

This drone footage of an angler casting to schools of tarpon is at turns exciting, heartbreaking, and celebratory.
