Friday Fly-Fishing Film Festival 09.12.14

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. Here are 16 new videos from around the world, from New Zealand to Norway, from France to Fernie.

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. See you next week with a fresh set of films!

I first heard about the brackish-water pike of Scandinavia from Jeff Currier, and the idea has always fascinated me. Here’s a cool video from Denmark.

I’ve often said that it’s difficult to make a compelling self-shot video, but Benjamin Plohr has done just that, taking us along for adventures in Montana and Idaho.

This video was shot on some of the waters in Slovenia where I fished in June, and they captured some great images of rainbow trout and the region itself.

If the steelhead aren’t biting, why not spend some time on small streams like these folks did?

Is it possible to make a cool fly-fishing video entirely on an iPhone? Kevin Luby seems to prove that it is with this shorty about catching cutthroats outside of Jackson, Wyoming.

The fishing around Fernie, Britich Columbia is wild and offers shots at big cutthroats and bullies.

Mosquito Lagoon fly fishing guides Capt. Billy Rotne of Tailhunter Charters and Capt. Willy Le of Native Fly Charters venture out to catch a little bit of the flood tide action in St. Augustine, Florida.

Have you ever thought of going to guide school? Here’s a look at what goes on at the Sweetwater School on Montana’s Bighorn River.
