Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 06.15.18

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 11 great productions with a seriously international flare, featuring videos from Argentina and Chile to New Zealand and Japan to Finland. Don’t worry, though, because we’ve got domestic angling action, as well.

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.

We kick things off with a gorgeous video about a journey through Patagonia–in both Argentina and Chile–fly fishing and living the van life.
