Welcome to another 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, there weren’t many great videos to come up on vimeo or youtube, but I did discover the Fly Fishing Film Tour page on CarbonTV, and I’ve included three of those videos here.
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 in regularly at The Tug, the Orvis online video theater. See you next week with a fresh set of films!
We kick things off with a short teaser for a longer upcoming film covering Lake Turkana’s South Island fishery. I don’t really know what’s going on here, but this looks spectacular.
Some killer shallow-water action from Mexico, including snook blowing up on poppers.
Smallmouths seem to be the species of the day, and here’s a great look at the opportunities in Wisconsin for catching bronzebacks.
This is super cool. No fish are caught in this video, which focuses on trout rising to a spinnerfall, but it’s fascinating and completely mesmerizing.
Here’s a great trailer for what looks to be a fantastic film about the saltwater action around Nantucket. The shot of the striper chasing down a fly, eating, and turning is worth the price of admission.
Some sweet action from the mountains of Colorado, and the best end credits I’ve seen in a while.
Speaking of mountains, here’s a cool look at the Telemark Mountains of Norway.
Anglers visit the Agua Negra, or “Blackwater” to fly fish for golden dorado. I think you’ll agree that what they found was pretty spectacular.
Some misty morning redfish action from South Carolina.
This isn’t a great video by any stretch, but how about that double catch? I’ve seen it done with dinks before, but never with two quality browns.
John Gierach makes a trip to the Great Bear Lake lodge in the Northwest Territories to catch big arctic char.
very cool catching two really nice browns,,,,,, that guy just needs to pull his pants up
Nice to see those ausable river boats. Great vids
Nice double hook-up, however very poor fish handling skills. Definitely not a how to video
