Editor’s note: I’m out of the office today, so here’s a great classic F5 to get you pumped up for the weekend. I’ll be back with an all-new selection next Friday.
Welcome to the another edition of the Orvis News Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival! Each week, we scour the Web for the best fly-fishing videos available and then serve them up for you to enjoy. This week, we’ve got fourteen videos, featuring some exotic locales and species, as well as a few down-home waters. From Africa to the South Pacific and from North Carolina, you’ll get to ride along with some great anglers and filmmakers.
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.
We kick things off with something that really lives up to the word “epic”: an expedition in search of goliath tigerfish in Africa.
The waters around Boone, North Carolina, get the cinematic treatment here.
Swedish Lapland offers some magical moments in this film from Carpe Diem.
Montana’s Missouri River offers fly fishing amid an impressive landscape.
Just 42 seconds of big-bass action on a small pond.
The boys from Hooké look like they enjoyed their time at Estancia Tecka in Argentina.
Ryan Beckham chases some sweet freestone rainbows in the backcountry.
Northwest of Kiribati, Fanning Atoll (a.k.a. Tabuaeran) looks pretty cool.
Here’s a cool montage that offers a different perspective on New Zealand fly fishing.
The landscape surrounding these high-altitude spring creeks in Argentina is astonishing.
Slo-mo cutthroat release goodness . . . .
Dunno who this Bryan cat is, but he’s caught some great fish over the years.
Yes, I would like to go to Iceland. Please.
Finally, here’s the latest episode of “Das Boat,” from MeatEater, in which Alvin Dedeaux of All Water Guides gets his shot.

Huge thanks for sharing my video. I had no idea there were big bass in that pond . I was after one pounders, not five pounders. Showed up with a 6 weight Recon and would have felt much better with an 8. Seemed to work out ok in the end though!
Das Boat is great and refreshing. Love the idea.
