Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 08.10.18


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. It was a pretty light week for new productions, but we’ve discovered 10 videos with a decidedly homegrown feel. All but one are from right here in North America, and the focus is one trout, trout, and trout (with a pinch of grayling).

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 cool video about the native brook trout of Maine, shot in and around the town of Millinocket

  1. All fine vids, Phil, thank you for your weekly posts!
    Tom Hudson’s link was superb, leading to more linky-linky, “oii – oii” from Sweden! You can get lost in the flow from one P/Q adventure to the next. Superb high-res, composition….. and even some comedy.
