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’ve got an even dozen productions that will get you pumped for time on the water this weekend. Destinations range from northern Finland to southern Patagonia, and from British Columbia to the Florida Everglades.
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 more than 1,390 great videos on the site!
We kick things off with a cool video about fly-fishing for grayling in northern Finland, which is not a sport for the faint-hearted, as you must be able to deal with big water and big weather.

Patagonia isn’t the first destination that comes to mind when you think “big brook trout,” . . . but maybe it should be.
