Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 05.04.18

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 serve up a baker’s dozen videos that will transport you from the ruins of the Scottish Coast to the jungle rivers of New Zealand’s South Island, and from the Florida Everglades to Southeast Alaska.

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 an absolutely gorgeous love letter to the incredible trout waters and landscapes of Montana.
